Barney by Guy Sigley

Barney by Guy Sigley

You're not supposed to get fired from the public service.

Barney's not good at life.

So when he's spectacularly fired from his public service career, it throws his world into chaos. He'll have to find another job, meet new people, shake hands with strangers; no wonder he's so anxious

But then he meets Gloria. Sure, she's only talking to him because it's a job interview, but she's absolutely mesmerizing. When Barney's surprisingly appointed the head of his new company's biggest ever project, it gives him the chance to win Gloria over and prove he's more than just a public service reject.

But not everybody wants him to succeed. Facing internal threats, external competitors and his own devastating social awkwardness, will Barney survive in the cut-throat private sector? Or will having the chance to be everything he thinks Gloria wants cost him the one thing he's wanted all along?

Barney: A novel is the first book in the Barney Conroy Comedy Series. If you like Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project, David Nicholls, or Nick Hornby, then you'll love this hilarious and heart-warming story that will have you laughing, cringing and face-palming all at once.

Buy this book if you're ready to laugh-out-loud
