The No.1 bestselling author of the Shopaholic series, Sophie Kinsella, returns with Love Your Life, an irresistible new standalone about falling in love with someone – but not necessarily with their life…

As disaster follows disaster, it seems that while they love each other, they just can’t love each other’s lives. They’re both driven mad by each other’s weird quirks and annoying habits, from his eccentric, naked-sauna-loving family to her terribly behaved, shirt-shredding dog, Harold. He’s equally smitten, and after a whirlwind, intoxicating affair, they pledge their love without even knowing each other’s real names.īut when they return home, reality hits. Until she meets a handsome stranger… All she knows is that he’s funny, he’s kind and – she soon learns – he’s great in bed. So, when she signs up to a semi-silent, anonymous writing retreat in glorious Italy, love is the last thing on her mind. She’s always trusted her own instincts over an algorithm, anyway, and she wants a break from it all. (Oct.I love you… but what if I can’t love your life?Īva is sick of online dating. Agent: Kim Witherspoon, InkWell Management. In the face of these unexpected differences, can they really find a way to keep their promise? Kinsella’s clever romance about the nature of compromise alternates laugh-out-loud humor with moments that will tug at readers’ heartstrings. Worst of all, Matt is not a fan of Ava’s beloved but badly behaved beagle, Harold. For her part, Ava can’t stand Matt’s horrific art collection and shivers all night in his freezing bedroom.

While chaotic Ava enjoys “rescuing” abandoned furniture and books, measured Matt can’t abide clutter. Dutch is not the carefree carpenter Ava imagined him to be, but Matt Warwick, COO of a successful dollhouse company. But as soon as they return to London, their magical bubble is burst. From the moment she meets “Dutch,” a gorgeous stranger staying at the same monastery, she feels her “life fallen stunningly into place.” They embark on a whirlwind romance and, on their last day in Italy, vow to make their relationship work back home in the U.K.

Ava, an aspiring author and hopeless romantic, arrives in Italy for a weeklong writer’s retreat where, to facilitate productivity and limit small talk, everyone is required to remain anonymous. A spellbinding romance comes to a crashing halt in the sparkling latest from Kinsella ( Confessions of a Shopaholic).
