Who is Tom Ditto?

The feelgood comedy with a mystery at its heart

But where the hell is she? When is she coming back? And what is Tom supposed to do in the meantime?

Reviews

  • Praise for Who is Tom Ditto? - a high concept love story with a mystery at its heart:

    An air of mystery and of a past being reconstructed, with a booster shot of comedy…As you would expect from the author of Awkward Situations for Men, the toe-curling embarrassment of much of Tom’s life is well realised
