About this title

Synopsis

A Richard and Judy Book Club Pick and a Radio 2 Book Club Choice.

Tess and Gus are meant to be. They just haven''t met properly yet. And perhaps they never will . . .

Set across sixteen years of life, Miss You is the wildly romantic novel from Kate Eberlen. Perfect for fans of David Nicholls and Jojo Moyes.

''Today is the first day of the rest of your life''. That''s the motto on a plate in the kitchen at home, and Tess can’t get it out of her head – even though she’s in Florence for a final, idyllic holiday before university.

Gus and his parents are also on holiday in Florence and, for one day, the paths of these two eighteen-year-olds will criss-cross before they each return to England.

Over the course of the next sixteen years, life and love will offer them very different challenges. Separated by distance and chance, there’s no way the two of them are ever going to meet each other properly . . . or is there?

''Funny, poignant and really rather lovely'' – The Observer

''The perfect summer read'' – Kate Mosse, author of The Burning Chambers

''Wildly romantic, heart-achingly sad, warmly funny and really clever'' – Daily Mail

''One of those rare books that has you laughing and crying at the same time'' – Prima Magazine

From the Back Cover

A wryly romantic and moving debut novel with echoes of One Day that asks: What if “The One” just walked right by you and you didn’t even know it?

“Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”  Tess can’t get the motto from her mother’s kitchen knick-knack out of her head, even though she’s in Florence on an idyllic vacation before starting university in London.

Gus is also visiting Florence, on a holiday with his parents seven months after tragedy shattered their lives. Headed to medical school in London, he’s trying to be a dutiful son but longs to escape and discover who he really is.

A chance meeting brings these eighteen-year-olds together for a brief moment—the first of many times their paths will cross as their lives diverge from those they’d envisioned. Over the course of the next sixteen years, Tess and Gus will face very different challenges and choices. Separated as they are by distance and circumstance, the possibility of these two connecting once more seems slight.

But while fate can separate two people, it can also bring them back together again. . . .
