I penned the screenplay for the film, which was an exciting new challenge for me. Trying to distil everything I loved about the book into less than two hours was probably the hardest part, but I had always pictured this book as a film, so seeing it brought to life was incredible. Last summer I had the chance to visit the set and see some of the filming, which was a highlight of my year. Look out for my very brief cameo in the engagement scene. (Blink and you’ll miss me!)

I absolutely loved This Time Next Year...so funny and sad and brilliant on love, friendship and family. Plus it contains the finest comedic airport security scene since spinal tap
