Synopsis

One marriage failing in Rome. One love just beginning in Paris. A birthday weekend in Ibiza. No one leaves unchanged.

For readers of Emily Henry, Annabel Monaghan, and Taylor Jenkins Reid — voice-driven women's fiction told from four points of view, including the cheating husband's. Book 2 of the Will There Be…? series.

A propulsive exploration of romantic and platonic love, commitment, shared history, betrayal, and personal reckoning.
To celebrate her fortieth birthday, Ophelia and her husband Gianluca gather an unlikely group of eight friends and lovers — some old, some new, some false, some true — for a long weekend in Ibiza. However, the idyllic villa setting may be the only thing holding together a complicated tangle of friendship, love, and betrayal.

Among the guests is Ophelia's old university flame, Matt, and his new girlfriend, Austen. While Matt finds himself falling in love, Austen is holding back, carefully protecting her heart. Ophelia knows she loves her husband, but "love" is a word she never learned to say, a silence rooted in a childhood tragedy. What she doesn't know is that Gianluca has been whispering it to someone else. And when his mistress crashes the party along with her own boyfriend, she brings a revelation that could unravel everything.

Across Rome, Paris, and Ibiza, the party guests navigate the tangled paths that bring people together and push them apart — exploring where love begins, where it falters, and the courage it takes to hold on — or to let go.

Readers have called this novel "cinematic," "a study in human relations," and a story that "made me stop and reflect on my own choices."

Especially praised by readers who normally avoid novels involving infidelity — for its realistic, honest, and un-romanticized portrayal which asks the hard questions about forgiveness, responsibility, and choice.

Will There Be Love? is the second novel in the Will There Be…? series — a universe of voice-driven, upmarket, interconnected novels set across Europe's most storied cities. Preceded by Will There Be Wine? and followed by Will There Be Time?, which is expected in late 2026. Each can be read as a standalone.
