Love Your Life cover

Ava seeks a break from online dating in Love Your Life, but her whirlwind romance leads to unexpected challenges when reality sets in.

In Love Your Life, Ava is exhausted by the pitfalls of online dating and yearns for a break from the digital chaos. Seeking solace, she signs up for a semi-silent writing retreat in the picturesque landscapes of Italy. Love is the last thing on her mind as she immerses herself in creativity and introspection. However, fate has other plans when she meets a charming stranger during her stay. Their connection is instant and electric, leading to a passionate romance that blossoms without the burden of real names or past baggage.

As their whirlwind affair progresses, both Ava and her mysterious lover find themselves deeply enamored. Yet, the blissful escape of their Italian retreat quickly fades when they return to their everyday lives. The stark contrast between their worlds becomes painfully evident as they grapple with each other's peculiarities. From his eccentric family who enjoys sauna sessions in the nude to her mischievous dog that has a penchant for destruction, their love faces relentless challenges.

Ultimately, Love Your Life explores the complexities of relationships and the struggle to embrace not only the person you love but also their life. As chaos ensues, Ava and her partner must confront whether their love can withstand the demands of their contrasting lifestyles. Can they find a way to merge their worlds and create a shared life together?

Sophie Kinsella is one of my favourite authors, and Love Your Life might just be her best book yet. It's a joyful, hilarious and heart-warming tale of the challenges we face when we sign up to be part of someone else's life. It made me laugh out loud and it made me cry happy tears - I adored it. * Beth O'Leary *
As close to perfect as romantic comedies get. * Jenny Colgan *
Kinsella is back with a relatable heroine, lots of laughs and a romance you'll be rooting for . . . A feel-good Christmas treat. * Woman & Home *
As warm as the Italian sunshine and full of fun. A fabulous Italian appetiser, like a platter of antipasti, a stunning, satisfying mix of romance and real life; with characters that you will fall in love with, that will leave you smiling with joy. Like a glorious dinner party with friends, it left me feeling happy, warm and staying up far later than I should so as not to miss a thing. I loved it! It left me wanting more! * Jo Thomas *
