The Time Traveller Who Could Not Get Laid

Navi is twenty years old, a virgin, and certain the world has failed him. Raised on internet masculinity and borrowed bravado, he has spent his adolescence performing a version of himself built entirely on lies.

When Mira — sharp-eyed, mysterious, and possessed of an ancient amulet — offers him the chance to travel through time, Navi jumps at it. She can send him to the eras men like him romanticise. The periods they believe were simpler, fairer, better. Go, she tells him. See for yourself.

He goes looking for an easier era. What he finds instead is love. Across medieval India, 1983 New York, 1970s Goa, and 1960s Kenya, the women he meets dismantle every myth he's been sold about the past, about women, and about himself.

A long, ridiculous, sometimes beautiful journey back to someone worth being.

Perfect for readers of Normal People, A Little Life, and The Kite Runner.
