"The best book of its kind I've read yet - if you like David Nicholls and Nick Hornby, you'll love this."

Meet Michael Galvin, the luckiest man in town, living with the woman of his dreams and completely at ease with this big slice of outrageous good fortune. So maybe he hates his job at UK Avionics, and loathes his larger-than-life older brother, Robert, but all in all, there's a lot to feel thankful for and little reason for complaint.
Unfortunately for Michael, things are about to get a whole lot more interesting as his comfort zone unravels spectacularly and the forces of love and hate go toe to toe . . .

A tale of lingering heartache and second chances widely compared to works by Nick Hornby and David Nicholls, The Purpose of a Man is a treat for fans of both.

'So, one the one hand you could find yourself a gorgeous girlfriend and a creepy family and psychotic brother and work this all out for yourself, or you could enjoy this author's playful, touching, and supremely well-crafted version while sitting on your couch.'
. - Pop Bop

'SO well written, intelligent without being either self-consciously so, or overly wordy; it's funny, realistic, beautifully observed, sad in parts. Easily as good as other works of this genre'
- Terry Tyler (Author of Dream On & You Wish)

'Brevitt brings Michael’s voice to life in such a natural, engaging way that it was easy to keep reading even after 1am had come and gone.'
- The Book Tart

'A thoroughly enjoyable read, down to earth and witty. Loved the characters, the articulation, the setting. I just loved this book.'
- B.L. Hewitt, author of CiCi McConnell Thriller series
