Overview

Laura and Tyler are best friends who live together, angrily philosophizing and leading each other astray in the pubs and flats of Manchester. But things are set to change. Laura is engaged to Jim, the wedding is just months away, and Tyler becomes hell-bent on sabotaging her friend's plans for a different life. This hilarious, moving and refreshingly honest tale illustrates how a friendship can become the ultimate love story.

"[Animals] is more complex than an ode to the party or a call to responsible adulthood, and [Unsworth's] characters shine with humanity."—The New Yorker, on the English-language edition
