The Lifeline by Tom Ellen

 Will was the lead singer in a band that seemed to be heading straight for the top, but one dark night in Paris it all came crashing down. He now works in an electronics store in Tottenham Court Road, has no friends or social life, and volunteers for a small, little known crisis line.

Annie works for a publication, has 2 best friends and lives with her boyfriend, but she isn’t happy. She blames her mother and sister for the death of her beloved father from cancer, so doesn’t see them, and her relationship seems to be going from bad to worse. When Annie sees the crisis line number it seems like a sign, and she begins speaking to Will. Neither knows that their lives are about to change dramatically as a result of their conversations

I really enjoyed this book, even more than I expected. It was in turns funny, and painfully sad. Well written with believable characters. I definitely recommend it.
