Publisher Description
From the author of Miss You comes Kate Eberlen's impossibly romantic second novel, Only You.
One person is all it takes to change a lifetime . . . But how will you know if they’re the one?
Present
Letty and Alf are the only English speakers at an Italian class in Rome, where they discover the language that really connects them is dance: Letty’s first love was ballet, while Alf was a junior ballroom champion. They come from different worlds, until the moment they waltz around the Piazza Navona, and everything changes.
Past
But one moment can’t change the past, and it’s clear that Alf and Letty still have their secrets. What caused them to leave their lives behind in England? And who, or what, are they running from? As their relationship deepens, it becomes harder and harder to tell the truth . . .
Future
When the unthinkable happens, Letty returns to London and Alf to Blackpool. Will they spend their lives apart, or discover a future together?
'The book we all need right now. Charming, tender, funny – and sweet without being sickly, like the very best gelato – it's utterly glorious escapism.' – Veronica Henry, author of A Wedding at the Beach Hut
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We adored Miss You, Kate Eberlen’s emotional rollercoaster of a debut. Her follow-up gives us two more star-crossed lovers to root for in Letty and Alf. Dance-obsessed ex-pats studying Italian in Rome, the pair quickly realise that love might conquer their very different backgrounds, but can it overcome the jet-black secrets that took them away from their lives at home? This is a masterful romance—Eberlen captures Rome beautifully, creating the perfect setting for charming moments you’ll be swooning along to. But like all great romances, it’s the downs that outdo the ups for drama—and the ballad of Letty and Alf will bring gasps of shock and tears of… well, we don’t want give anything away, now.
Customer Reviews
Nice read
Set in Italy and Blackpool this book follows the lives of two younger adults who meet and fall in love almost instantly. The second half of the book had me wanting to read more and there were certainly a couple of shocks along the way. Well written so that you like or dislike certain characters. I felt the first section of the book could have had more going on as I seemed to be reading it for quite a while with not many changes to the direction of the story however as I got further into the book I realised that part really helped to set the scene for the rest of the story. A little disappointed that we didn’t get to see more of the love story between Alf and Letty towards the end. All in all a nice read.
