If Only It Were True

*One of Time’s 50 Best Romance Novels to Read Right Now*

A captivating and “simply magical” (New York Post) international bestseller that evokes the essence of romance and how far one will go for the one they love—the inspiration for the film Just Like Heaven starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo.

What do you do when you find a stranger in your closet, especially when she’s surprised you can even see her—and she can disappear and reappear at will? What if she tells you that her body lies in a coma in a nearby hospital? Should you question her sanity—or your own? Or do you take a leap of faith into the supernatural, letting yourself be swept into an adventure of friendship, connection, and impossible love?

This is the dilemma facing Arthur, a young architect in San Francisco, when he discovers Lauren in his apartment. He’s the only person who can see, hear, and talk to her and when doctors prepare to end her care, Arthur must find a way to save her before their extraordinary bond is lost forever.

If Only It Were True is a charming blend of heartwarming humor and supernatural romance that celebrates the enduring power of hope.
