In I Love You, I Love You, I Love You, Ella navigates the complexities of friendship and love over fifteen years, ultimately confronting her true feelings for Lowe.
Set against the backdrop of the year 2000, I Love You, I Love You, I Love You takes readers on a nostalgic journey through the complexities of first love. Fourteen-year-old Ella is determined to embrace the grunge lifestyle while grappling with the rumors of the world's impending end. It’s a time of uncertainty, yet amidst the chaos, she finds herself captivated by Lowe, the most beautiful boy she has ever seen. However, Ella believes that loving him from a distance is the safest option, as she navigates the delicate balance of friendship and unspoken feelings.
As their relationship unfolds over the next fifteen years, Ella and Lowe share countless memories filled with laughter, heartache, and growth. Their bond deepens with each passing year, yet every time Lowe kisses another girl, Ella’s heart breaks a little more. The struggle between friendship and romantic love becomes increasingly intense, forcing Ella to confront her feelings and decide if she can remain just friends with the love of her life.
Written with a unique voice, I Love You, I Love You, I Love You captures the bittersweet essence of young love. It resonates with anyone who has experienced the thrill and pain of first love, making it a must-read for fans of slow-burn romances and heartfelt coming-of-age stories. This tale is not just about love; it’s a reflection on friendship, growth, and the courage it takes to embrace one’s true feelings.

Just DELICIOUS.’ KIRSTY CAPES
