For Adults
A novel that explores first love, love between friends, families and loving yourself enough to find happiness, even when it’s not what you imagined.
Kelsey and Lewis have been best friends for ten years before, finally, he kisses her for the first time … And leaves for a job in New York the next day. Counting down the days until he comes back to Liverpool, Kelsey busies herself with a new job, a handful of forgettable dates and awkward, weekly catch-ups with her mum. Then the days turn into months. And the months turn into a year. But that’s OK: all great love stories have bumps in the road. Right? But something happened to Lewis on the night of their first kiss which changed everything. And when Kelsey learns the devastating truth, she has to make a choice. Should she keep pushing for her happy ending?
