Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A little over a year ago, Mil Millington set up a website called "Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About, " where he posted tales of his long-standing relationship with his German girlfriend, Margret. A cult formed almost instantly on both sides of the Atlantic. Within weeks he had both a book deal and a movie option based on his site. Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About concerns a guy named Pel who lives with his German girlfriend, Ursula. Pel leads an uneventful life, bluffing his way through his job and finding new things to argue about with Ursula. But when his boss mysteriously disappears, Pel steps reluctantly into his shoes, and his life spirals out of control in a chaotic whirl of stolen money, missing colleagues, and Chinese mafiosi. Propelled by blazingly hilarious set-piece arguments between the hapless Pel and the unflappable Ursula, Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About is a brilliant comic novel examining the warfare in long-term relationships. Review:?There is little to say about coupledom that is not wittily and often movingly explored here. Sharply-written, brilliantly-observed and absolutely hilarious.? Daily Mail Review:"There are no shattering insights about men and women, but the book never pretends to be more than it is: an entertaining and genuinely funny romp through the trials of coupledom." Publishers Weekly
Review:"Students of academic satire such as James Hynes's Lecturer's Tale will find much that might be familiar and funny here. The inevitable comparisons with Nick Hornby shouldn't detract from Millington's unique, laugh-out-loud take on sexual and academic shenanigans." Library Journal Synopsis:This brilliant comic novel examining the warfare in long-term relationships was penned by an author named one of Britain's best first novelists of 2002 by "The Guardian." Millington earned fame a year ago with his Web site--also called "Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About"--which gained a cult following on both sides of the Atlantic. Synopsis:Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About concerns a guy named Pel who lives with his German girlfriend, Ursula.

Its fractured thriller plot punctuated by blazingly hilarious set-piece arguments between the hapless Pel and the unflappable Ursula, Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About is a brilliant comic novel examining the unique warfare in long-term relationships.
