High Fidelity

"Do you know your desert-island, all-time, top five most memorable break-ups?"

Rob Fleming does. He owns a struggling record shop in London, he’s obsessed with making top-five lists for every occasion, and his girlfriend, Laura, has just dumped him. The problem? Laura didn't even make his "all-time" list—and yet, he can't seem to get over her.

Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity is the ultimate novel for the music-obsessed and the romantically challenged. As Rob revisits his past relationships to figure out where it all went wrong, he’s forced to confront big questions about adulthood, self-sabotage, and the redemptive power of a great record.

Wickedly funny, painfully relatable, and deeply moving, this million-copy international bestseller is a modern classic that captures the soul of the "arrested development" generation. Whether you’re a vinyl enthusiast or just someone who’s ever been dumped, Rob’s journey is essential reading.
