Heart the Lover

"An intimate novel about formative first love, friendship and the relationships that never leave us. This time-hopping story (of the perfect length, if you ask me!) sweeps you into the narrator’s point of view with such visceral immediacy that it’s easy to lose yourself in her memories. I canceled my plans to finish this gorgeous book, and I felt welcomely emo for a few days afterward. Heart the Lover is both a prequel and a sequel to Lily King’s beloved novel Writers & Lovers, published in 2020, but it absolutely stands on its own."
