A beautifully written, generous-hearted, clever, tender, fresh, and unputdownable novel about queerness, family, and forgiveness. I loved This Love.

Elizabeth Day Find yourself in this sweeping tale of queer friendship and chosen families that will keep you laughing, crying, and endlessly turning the page.

When Mae and Ari meet their final year at the University of Leeds, their connection is magnetic. Mae, while stubborn and no stranger to breaking hearts, needs Ari's bright light to guide her out of her self-centered ways; Ari, vibrant, charming, and reeling in the aftermath of a scandal in New York, clings to Mae as his grounding anchor.

As the years sweep by, the two traverse the tumult of life: toxic partners and hidden secrets, the heavy weight of grief, and a complicated, unignorable desire to start a family. . . . If they can hold onto one another in the face of the relentless past and the inevitable future, they might discover how to build something beautiful out of their expansive, boundary-breaking love.

Spanning ten years of extraordinary friendship, This Love is a vivid and epic tale of finding your soulmates, building an unconventional family, and the limitless, ever-changing forms love can take.

Astute, tender, and utterly joy-filled. This is the love story we've been waiting for.
