High Fidelity by Nick Hornby explores the turbulent love life of Rob Fleming, a vinyl-obsessed and commitment-phobic thirty-something record shop owner.

As he faces yet another breakup with his long-term girlfriend, Laura, Rob embarks on a quest to understand why his relationships always fail. With the help of his two eccentric employees, Barry and Dick, Rob revisits his past partners, analyzing his shortcomings and searching for answers in his extensive music collection.
