Publisher Description
One couple. One past. A million tomorrows. Adam and Jules have been married for 25 years when they discover a time machine in their shed - can it bring back their romantic spark? Or will it unravel everything?

‘Witty, relatable, and packed full of nostalgia’ PAIGE TOON
Meet Adam and Jules - they're stuck in a rut and their future looks, well, boring.
Then Adam stumbles across a pile of old mixtapes he and Jules made for each other when they were young and falling in love. He dusts off his vintage stereo, inserts one of the cassettes, presses play…and the unbelievable happens.
With the power to travel back in time, he and Jules can revisit pivotal moments in their pasts. Is this the key to getting their sparkle back? They embark on an epic hunt through the multiverse for their perfect love story. But as they visit the past, they realise that time travel could be as dangerous as it is addictive, because the temptation to change just a few tiny things is irresistible.
As the consequences start to spiral out of control, can they find a way back to their messy, imperfect, glorious real life? Or will they lose each other forever?
Funny, heart-warming and honest, You & Me & You & Me & You & Me is a time travel rom-com and instant feel-good classic.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Husband and wife coauthors Lloyd (Miss Beeton's Murder Agency) and Rees (Wanted) deliver a stunning time travel romance that doubles as an insightful examination of the little decisions that shape a 25-year marriage. Caterer Jules Hole and her video game designer husband, Adam, are stuck. Their two 20-something kids have moved back into their messy home; Jules's business is hemorrhaging money; and Adam's career stalled long ago, when he went part-time to help raise the kids and his short-term financial concerns kept him from striking it big with his best friend Darius. All that changes when Adam discovers that playing the romantic mixtapes he and Jules used to make for each other sends the listener back to the time they first received them—and that changing things during these tape visits can lead to better lives in the present. The couple's success in fixing minor things (like a regrettable tattoo for Jules, or Adam's beard, which Jules always hated) lead them to attempt bigger and bigger manipulations—with potentially devastating consequences. Both protagonists are wonderfully complex, full of rage, regret, passion (often the frustrated kind), and a desperate desire to get things right this time. Funny, tender, bittersweet, and ultimately affirming, this is a showstopping tale about learning to embrace imperfection.
