Three lifelong mates, dealing with girls, families, growing up and drifting apart. Will their friendship survive such momentous – and inevitable – change?
An English assignment to write a letter as Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice gives Tommo the chance to prove that he is not a boofhead. Getting inside a chick's mind isn't rocket science – he can ‘do the sensitive male thing’. To prove his point, he becomes an agony aunt for his mum’s magazine under the pseudonym Carrie Edwards. Then his best mates Casey and Ed get roped in and things spiral out of control. Has it all come to an end for the boofheads?

Absolute masterpiece. Can’t recommend this one enough, I’m just through my fifth re-reading and it’s still as goofy and funny!Truly a heartwarming piece. Great job Mr. Johnson.
