About this item

A heartbreaking, funny, and fresh debut novel about one man's struggle with mental illness, Me, Myself and Them is a moving, eye-opening exploration of the healing power of human connection, perfect for readers of Silver Linings Playbook and Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine. Struggling to cope with a tragic loss, Denis Murphy has, for the past seven years, learned to live a bit differently. Both his friends -- Ollie and Frank -- are used to his strict routines, like ironing his socks and lighting his fireplace every Sunday afternoon (even in the summer) . His forlorn mother puts up with his strange ''no touching'' antics, even though all she wants is a hug from her son. Really, the only problem is the four monsters he has for roommates. Literally.
