“A beautifully observed, tender love story with characters you really care about… a bit like Normal People. I devoured it.”Jojo Moyes, New York Times bestselling author of Someone Else's Shoes

For fans of Netflix’s ONE DAY, a poignant and emotional will they/won't they story that cleverly captures both the thrill and trepidation of first love


Will and Rosie meet as teenagers.

They're opposites in every way. She overthinks everything; he is her twin brother's wild and unpredictable friend. But over secret walks home and late-night phone calls, they become closer - destined to be one another's great love story.

Until, one day, tragedy strikes, and their future together is shattered.

But as the years roll on, Will and Rosie can't help but find their way back to each other. Time and again, they come close to rekindling what might have been.

Claire Daverley writes with elegance and grace as she mines the depths of human emotions. This novel will consume you.”―Jill Santopolo, New York Times bestselling author of The Light We Lost

This isn’t my typical genre, but I still enjoyed it though it didn’t fully keep my attention. I think that’s mostly because it wasn’t fast paced like I’m used to. The reading of the book is very monotoned but I think that fits with the overall tone of the book.

Good storyline

Overall I liked this book but the back and forth of the relationship between Rosie and Will got a bit redundant. I stopped cheering for them at one point bc the breakups and reconnecting got a bit overdone. I also had to speed up the audio on the app bc the reader spoke way too slowly. Easy listen though.

Good overall

Loved it. A careful blend of almost every type of emotion in a compelling story.

A striking and real story of two hearts bonded by tragedy and life’s unjust and unwanted deliveries. A chest-squeezing read filled with love. My favorite.

Achingly Beautiful Love Story

As soon as the audio of the book finished I immediately wanted to restart it. It was a gorgeous and quiet literary second chance romance that makes me never want to read another commercial/popular romance ever again. The writing was so delicious. The characters were complex and relatable and flawed in the most normal of ways that any of us are. I want more from this author!

The writing and the narration were a delight

Love how the narrator made the different characters voices sound. Ever so slightly different from one another’s you automatically knew who was speaking. Really kept you in the story. Enjoyable emotional rollercoatser

Brilliantly read

A heartbreaking tale of love and loss and and trying to find ones way amid all the pressures and missed opportunities life throws our way.

This will stay with me a long time. Characters were so well drawn, I felt their pain. Perfect narration as well.

Agonizingly Beautiful
