Mike Gayle was born and raised in Birmingham, UK. After graduating from Salford University with a degree in Sociology, he moved to London to pursue a career in journalism and worked as a Features Editor and agony uncle. He has written for a variety of publications including
The Sunday Times, the
Guardian and
Cosmopolitan. Mike became a full time novelist in 1997 following the publication of his
Sunday Times top ten bestseller
My Legendary Girlfriend, which was hailed by the
Independent as full of belly laughs and painfully acute observations, and by
The Times as a funny, frank account of a hopeless romantic. Since then he has written thirteen novels including
Mr Commitment,
Turning Thirty and
The Man I Think I Know. His books have been translated into more than thirty languages. You can find him online at
