**How to be Good by Nick Hornby - Preloved Paperback**
Katie Carr's marriage is crumbling, and she's having a proper existential crisis. When her cynical husband David suddenly transforms into an annoyingly saintly do-gooder (thanks to a dodgy spiritual healer), Katie's comfortable middle-class life gets turned upside down. Hornby's brilliantly uncomfortable domestic comedy explores what happens when trying to be morally perfect becomes absolutely unbearable.
This razor-sharp novel dissects modern marriage, parenting guilt, and the exhausting pressure to be constantly virtuous. Perfect for fans of contemporary fiction who enjoy messy, flawed characters and Hornby's signature blend of humor and heart-wrenching honesty.
From the bestselling author of *High Fidelity* and *About a Boy*, this is relationship drama without the saccharine - think sharp observations about suburban life wrapped in genuinely funny prose.
This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks is ready for its next reader.
**Reader Reviews:**
"Painfully relatable - made me question everything about my own marriage while laughing out loud."
"Hornby perfectly captures that feeling when your partner becomes insufferably righteous. Brilliant and uncomfortable in equal measure."
