From their first meeting at the student union over a decade ago, Jim and Alison successfully navigated their way through first dates, meeting parents, moving in together and more! Then they split up and divided their worldly goods (including a sofa, a cat and their flat) into his 'n' hers. Now, three years on and with new lives and new loves, they couldn't be happier. Until a chance encounter throws them back together, and causes them to embark on a journey through their past to ask themselves the big question: where did it all go wrong, and is it too late to put it all right?

5.0 out of 5 stars A flat. A cat. And a couple who think it's over.
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2008
I consider myself a die-hard fan of Mike Gayle. He delivers a fresh take on Chick-Lit while maintaining his masculinity, all while perfectly conveying the female voice.

HIS N' HERS is the story of Jim and Alison, two individuals who meet in college and fall in love under the most unusual of circumstances. In this book, we get both sides of their stories written in two unique styles. Every detail of their lives for 10+ years is written in great detail and you sort of feel like your eavesdropping or reading someone's diary.

Taken place in London, we begin with the first time they meet at a college party for freshmen. Jim immediately develops a crush on Alison, but she has her heart set on Damien - who later becomes her boyfriend. As time goes on, Alison learns more about Jim and finds herself falling for this peculiar character. While she maintains her relationship with Damien, she realizes its not meant to be and finds a way to break it off with him and wind up with Jim. From then on we take a ride on the emotional rollercoaster that is their life. We watch them grow, become closer and develop a relationship that many only dream about.

Eventually, one of them has a change of heart and their relationship is over just like that. But, years down the line an unfortunate occurrence brings them back together. Though both have moved on, this time together gives them the opportunity to reflect on their relationship and where they went wrong.

This is an intriguing story that I think will cater to both men and women, as the voices in the story are ones you can relate to. There were some laughs and some sadness and it all came together perfectly. Definitely another winner from Mike Gayle!

4.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing, quick read!
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2006
This was my first read of a Mike Gayle novel and I was impressed. Author Mike Gayle has a crafty gift for character development and story telling. The book drew me in so much that I finished it in a few hours on a cross-country flight! It is a shame that it sat on my shelf for so many months before I got to it.

In this novel that is set in the U.K., we follow two love birds Jim and Alison through a friendship, romance and break-up as they each tell their own side of the story. Jim and Allison first meet at a party for freshers (beginning university students). Mike Gayle captures both the male and female voices perfectly and fashions a tale that has you vacillating between feeling for Alison, while still wishing Jim well. Brought back together by the death of a jointly shared cat, Jim and Alison have both gone on with their lives, but are driven to reflect on their relationship and its demise.

"His `n Hers" is an intriguing read that will be enjoyed by men and women alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars simply 'flu' by...
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2005
I had flu this weekend and decided to go to Tesco's for some medicine. Aswell as filling up the trolley will lemons, various flu tablets and pain killers, I threw in Mike Gayle's His n' Hers for £3.45.

Having read all of Mike Gayle's novels so far, I was ready for what he delivered. Its another classic Mike Gayle and you get what you expect, which is nice.

The story flies by and within 6 hours (in between blowing my nose and sneezing) I had finished the book. It was excellent. The story, though predictable, is nice to follow. I did feel, however that Jim's sudden change of heart towards the middle-end was very abrupt, turning the story sideways all-too-sudden. Obviously, I dont want to give too much away.

For all residents of the UK, there is one MAJOR error that all should spot. The day is Tuesday and he's 'watching Coronation Street'!!! Errrrmmm... Coronation St is a soap opera institution in the UK and has never run on a Tuesday! (Monday and Wednesday originally, then including Friday and now including Saturday (omnibus) and Sunday). Thats the kind of error that should be spotted straight away.

Aside from that, a very good read, especially if you have flu. You dont have to think too much, just follow the story and it projects itself on the page like a movie.

EXCELLENT!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mike Gayle does it again!
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2005
Having been a student at Birmingham University at about the same time the story is set, this book hit sooooo... close to my heart.

But even without the very personal points of reference I think this book is well worth a read - it's romantic (without being soppy), heartwarming, funny and down-to-earth. Four stars instead of five for being slightly predictable, but still massively enjoyable.

Although I didn't end up marrying a University boyfriend, this book really made me want to call up and see how they are and recommend this book!

I was given a book by Mike Gayle called All the Lonely People. I loved it. I am now a big Mike Gayle reading all his books.
They are all different but written in Mikes unique fascinating way.

I think that a bit more research could have helped this book. Quite a bit of it is set in Birmingham, after the main charcters were supposedly students at university there. Having myself studied at another uni in central Birmingham, I couldn't help but notice the references to only a few "landmarks". The Bull Ring (note this is set back a few years to before the redevelopment), with associated Digbeth coach station, and The Jug Of Ale in Moseley. Why oh why did they always drink in the Jug? A weekend going round the area to find other pubs (and asking some history) would have brought more character to the book. And Birmingham may have been pre urban regeneration, but a few more places (other than from a road atlas) could have featured.
Overall a good read, but not quite 5 out of 5 due in part to the lack of variety and reserach. I like the fact that it could have happened, a story that you can connect with.

Le thème classique d'un couple de sa genèse à sa séparation puis à sa reconstitution (happy end)
C'est bien lu, l'idée de journaux intimes croisés est sympathique à écouter, mais la séparation sans raison apparente (je ne t'aime plu...) rend la fin absurde...
A réserver aux inconditionnels du genre comédie romantique à l'eau de rose

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice easy reading.

Like all of Mr. Gayle's previous books, this one is no exception. I have tried to work out who exactly the target audience is which is still eluding me. I think the title of a male Bridget Jones is not too far the mark but I wish there was a better one!!

The synopsis of this book is simple. Adult love and confusion in an ever changing world. Written in two distinct styles, one boy, one girl, His 'n' Hers will have you turning the pages as quick as a flash.

There is a nice mix of comedy and sadness. The'arrrr bless' factor is omnipresent but not in a girly fluffy way, if you know what I mean.
The one page entry in the book about the first time a guy hears his girlfriend pass wind will have you in stitches.

Further, thumbs up to the publishers who have been consistent with the packaging of all of Gayle's books.

All 5 form an almost reference library with co-ordinating colours and images.

Mike, keep up the good work and let's not wait as long for the next installment. Cheers.
