'A refreshingly nuanced take on romance tropes'MAURENE GOO

Life is not measured by the years we have, but by the love it holds.

Alexander Kirk writes perfect love stories, but he doesn't believe in them.

When his favorite café is taken over by Wendy, a quirky single mother with two kids and strawberry earrings, their relationship unfolds exactly like the romances Alexander pens: enemies to lovers, laughter, longing, and a happiness that feels almost scripted. Except this isn't one of Alexander's stories.

Briefly, Forever begins where most love stories end - with loss. Told through three timelines, the novel traces the tender beginnings of Alexander and Wendy's relationship while following Alexander as he learns how to parent - and love - her children without her. It is a story about grief and joy, and about loving fully even when happily ever after isn't guaranteed.

It reminds us that the most important part of a love story is not how it ends, but how we embrace the strangeness and beauty of being alive, loving and living.

For fans who enjoyed the emotional tearjerker weight of A Man Called Ove , One Day , Remarkably Bright Creatures and Me Before You .
