Take a trip back to Y2K with this nostalgic, messy and utterly beautiful love story. It's the year 2000. I'm fourteen. I'm trying really hard to be a grunger right now. There are rumours the world is going to end. It hasn't as of yet but I still have reasons to believe it's true. Readers LOVE I Love You, I Love You, I Love You 'The nostalgic book of my dreams' 'I was crying along to their heartache and cheering along to their triumph' 'Hilarious, heart-breaking and swoon-worthy' Ella and Lowe are teenagers when they first meet in summer 2000. For her, it's love at first sight.
But it's safest to love from afar, where the friendship zone is her safety net and she can't get hurt. Certain that the most beautiful boy she's ever seen couldn't possibly feel the same, Ella counts herself lucky to have him as her best friend. Over the next fifteen years they share everything: bottles of cider and cigarettes in the rain, gossip and laughter, grief and fear. But every time Lowe kisses another girl, Ella feels her heart break just that little bit more. She'll have to choose whether it's enough to be just friends with the love of her life, or if she's prepared to let the terrifying, beautiful, all-consuming truth come to light. From a unique new voice in adult fiction, I Love You, I Love You, I Love You is a glorious nostalgia trip for anyone who has ever known the exquisite pain and pleasure of first love. Perfect for fans of: Friends to lovers Slow burn Found family Second chances Celebrity romance Praise for I Love You, I Love You, I Love You 'So visceral, nostalgic, mucky, heartbreaking and bittersweet.
