THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS AN ORDINARY LOVE STORY
'Almost unbearably beautiful. Ordinary Love is extraordinary' Emilia Hart, bestselling author of Weyward
'Profoundly moving' Emily St. John Mandel, bestselling author of Station Eleven
'I stayed up way too late to finish this beautifully written novel, which had me hooked from the first page. A truthful, hopeful look at navigating family, life and love.' Jennie Godfrey, bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things
When Emily catches sight of Gennifer Hall at a party, she is transported back to the moment they fell in love as teenagers. Their connection was electric, and they thought it was forever.
Twenty years later, Gen is an Olympic runner, the career she strived for, while Emily is living a picture-perfect life: Manhattan townhouse, two young children and a wealthy husband, Jack. But Jack's controlling behaviour is spiralling, and Emily has lost sight of who she once was.
Now, despite Emily's fracturing marriage and the pressures of Gen's career, they are drawn back together by a magnetic attraction. After years of heartbreak, missed chances and misunderstandings, will they finally get a second chance at first love?

Press Reviews
- Emilia Hart, bestselling author of Weyward
This is an almost unbearably beautiful love story. Emily and Gen feel completely real: on the rare occasion I managed to put this book down, I thought about them constantly. It broke my heart to let them go when I turned the final page. Ordinary Love is extraordinary.
- Emily St. John Mandel, bestselling author of Sea of Tranquility
This novel is remarkable and profoundly moving. A beautifully written, intelligent, quietly hopeful story about being lost and found.
- Samuel Burr, bestselling author of The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers
A sweeping tale. Tender, truthful and gorgeously written, I devoured it in a few days.
- Sophie Ward, Booker Prize longlisted author of The Schoolhouse
Ordinary Love sparkles with the excitement, danger and wonder of love in all its forms
- Jennie Godfrey, bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things
I stayed up way too late to finish this beautifully written novel, which had me hooked from the first page. A truthful, hopeful look at navigating family, life and love.
