Publisher Description
Most women dream of finding the love of their life. Lucy just wants to lose him...
Venice, one of the world's most romantic cities, lives by the legend of the bridge of sighs: When a woman kisses the man of her dreams under the bridge at sunset, she will be together with him forever. So eighteen-year-old Lucy seals her fate in the blush of first love with Nate.
Yet ten years later, the pair has completely lost contact-until the day Lucy arrives at Nate's luxury Manhattan apartment with paintings he has purchased from the gallery where she is newly employed. The legend has reunited the couple, and Lucy is overjoyed-until the state of their union is misery.
Can destiny be undone? In the hands of the international bestselling author Alexandra Potter, You're (Not) the One is a witty romance that turns on the power of a kiss.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Teenagers Lucy Hemingway and Nate Kennedy blissfully celebrated their love with a kiss beneath Venice's legendary Bridge of Sighs. Then time and distance intervened, splitting up the perky British art student and the handsome American. Nate marries someone else, while Lucy endures a handful of so-so relationships. Ten years after that fateful kiss, she's given up on her dream of being a famous artist, settling for working in London and New York art galleries. Naturally, serendipity reunites her with Nate, now wealthy, divorced, and sexier than ever. It's Venice all over again until the unflinching light of reality exposes seemingly irreconcilable differences but as Nate and Lucy try to build their own lives, fate keeps throwing them together. Readers will love this sweet, diverting tale that rests right on the border between women's fiction and contemporary romance.
