The new novel by bestselling author Meg Rosoff, read by Rhashan Stone.

Jonathan Trefoil has arrived in New York fresh from college and ready for his life to begin. He's found himself an apartment and he's temporarily in charge of his brother's dogs (Dante, a Border Collie, and Sissy, a Spaniel) while his brother is working in Dubai. His best friend Max has landed him a job at Comrade, a marketing company run by one of their school friends. He has a smart girlfriend, Julie, who has just joined him. Life is good... isn't it?

Greeley, Comrade's new Office Manager, brings a brighter, healthier vibe to Jonathan's working life - even encouraging him to bring the dogs into work. But just as Jonathan begins to feel that he's getting on top of his new life, Julie floors him with a commercially sensible proposition.
