Early ReviewersDan Brotzel

Every day counts when you're chasing love, life, and a little bit of madness…

Luke Milvaine is a drifting 30-something stuck in a dead-end job with an even deader love life. Then the sudden death of a school friend leaves him with a cockapoo puppy and a bizarre challenge: to celebrate a different fake holiday every day for a year.

Shower With a Friend Day, Talk Like Shakespeare Day, National Burger Day…

What starts as a ridiculous stunt becomes a life-changing journey filled with strange encounters, surprising friendships, and the unexpected realisation that love might be right under his nose. With humour, heart, and a dash of absurdity, Luke discovers that sometimes, the biggest adventure is learning to appreciate the little things and rethink what – and who – truly matters.

Thank You for the Days is a humorous, heartfelt journey about finding meaning in the mundane and learning to live with purpose.
