Blue Collar

Catford brickie, Terry Prior, wakes up in a strange room in a strange house and next to a strange girl. He cannot remember how he got there and neither can she. But one thing is clear. They are very different people. Terry is a typical full English breakfast with builder's tea type of guy whereas Charley is more Eggs Benedict and Bloody Mary. She is posh, she is well-off and she is gorgeous. Which means she is way out of Terry's usual league - or so he thinks. When gastro-pub meet local boozer, and white-collar meets blue, Charley and Terry's love is built on the shakiest of foundations.
And a reality film crew will bring the whole thing crashing down around their ears. Short-listed for The Melissa Nathan Award for Comedy Romance 2010. "The book reads like a dream" - The Sunday Express "King's depiction of the collision of two worlds is hilarious and thought-provoking" - U Magazine "The soppiest of [all King's books].
