How I Lose You

How I Lose You

Summary

'Wonderful' - Stylist
'Thoroughly addictive. I loved it.' - RUTH HOGAN, author of The Keeper of Lost Things
'Superb' - Louise O'Neill

When Eva and Adam fall into bed one Friday night, tired and happy after drinks with friends, they have their whole lives ahead of them. But their story ends on page twelve.

That's no reason to stop reading though, because How I Lose You is a story told backwards – and it's all the more warm, tender and moving because we know it is going to be interrupted. It’s a story Eva thought she knew – but as you and she will discover, it’s not just the ending of the story that she got wrong.

Reviews

  • A poignant and uplifting exploration of what makes a relationship, of how it grows and how it makes us the person we are, this is a wonderful read
