Description

Named a BEST BOOK OF THE MONTH by the Sunday Times Style, Apple Books, Prima, Cosmopolitan, i NEWS and Stylist

'I loved This Love' —Elizabeth Day

'Astute, tender and utterly joy-filled. This is the love story we've been waiting for' —Elle

'This is a book I will return to again and again . . . It's beautiful' —Jennie Godfrey

When Mae and Ari meet during their final year at the University of Leeds, their connection is magnetic. Mae, who is stubborn and no stranger to breaking hearts, needs Ari's bright light to guide her out of her self-centred ways; Ari, vibrant, charming and reeling in the aftermath of a scandal in New York, clings to Mae as his grounding anchor.

As the years sweep by, the two traverse the tumult of life: toxic partners and hidden secrets, the heavy weight of grief, and a complicated, unignorable desire to start a family. If they can hold onto one another in the face of the relentless past and the inevitable future, they might discover how to build something beautiful out of their expansive, boundary-breaking love.

Spanning ten years of extraordinary friendship, This Love is a vivid and epic tale of finding your soulmates, building an unconventional family, and the limitless, ever-changing forms love can take — perfect for fans of Talking at Night, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and One Day.

'Touching, surprising and gloriously enjoyable' —Harper's Bazaar

'I was bereft when I turned the last page . . . This Love will stay with me for a long time' —Nina Pottell, 'Books of the Month', Prima
