Dombóvári István - Félkemény

Fecó, the good-headed, albeit somewhat vain computer scientist, really loves his wife. They could live happily ever after if the new husband didn't make a stupid mistake. But he commits it, so Erika is offended, moves out of the house and announces that she wants a divorce. The guy has only one day left to find his wife and convince her that their marriage is not over. That evening, the unforgettable adventure of her life awaits Erika: as the winner of a prize game, she can spend the evening, and perhaps even the night, with her idol, the world-famous rock star.
Fortunately, Feco does not have to complete the seemingly impossible mission alone. His friends stand by him: Iván, the worn-out skirt hunter, Ákos, the incorrigible dreamy screenwriter, and Gábor, who is enthusiastically preparing for the role of father. A crazy race against time begins, while everything seems to have conspired against the four good friends, hard-hearted receptionists stand in their way, bored taxi drivers expose them in the middle of the desert, green-haired hairdressers hide from them, security guards arrest them. The story also features a few (quite a few) glasses of gin and tonic, a bombshell, a TikTok influencer, the city's most infamous strip bar and a sequined black thong.
Will Fecó get a second chance? Will Gábor make it to the birth? Will Iván find his true match? Will Ákos manage to write the masterpiece of his life? By the time we get to the end of the book, everything will be revealed! Félkemény is a very modern, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hilarious celebration of love, friendship and loyalty.
