Australian author Guy Sigley brings you a hilarious story that's ideal for fans of The Rosie Project.

He lost his job and found his love. But will he lose her as well?

Meet Barney. On the surface, he's an average guy with questionable social skills and a serious case of germophobia. He likes routine. He likes to keep his head down. He likes the fruit muesli and the plain muesli to be stored in separate containers.

But is there more to the man who managed to do the impossible—get himself fired from the public service—than just hand sanitizer and inappropriate small talk?

What if his new private sector colleague—the fierce, devastatingly intelligent, and instantly mesmerizing Gloria Bell—could inspire Barney to re-ignite a stand-up comedy career that hasn't produced a laugh in more than a decade; take dangerous risks with his personal hygiene; and put his career on the line with an idea so audacious, it might just score him a full-time job?

The result of Barney's attempts to win Gloria's heart and his new workmates' respect is a hilarious story about work, love, and the redemptive power of hitting rock-bottom.
