Loved One

Emily says about Loved One:
"Ever since I read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow back in 2022 I have been searching for a book that might fill the void that Sam and Sadie left in my heart - and this book comes incredibly close to that! After just a few pages I found  myself incredibly invested in Gabe and Julia’s friendship. A poignant and compelling story about death, creativity and the blurry line between friendship and love. I love a story that doesn’t flinch in the face of the messy complexity of life and this book definitely does just that."

‘For years I'd known exactly who I was to Gabe. It was a long story but I could tell it confidently, like a bartender sharing a recipe for her signature cocktail. Now things were so jumbled, I didn't know where to begin…’

When Julia’s first-love-turned-close-friend Gabe, a successful indie musician, dies unexpectedly aged 29, Julia is launched into an intercontinental quest to recover the possessions he left with friends and acquaintances across the world.

The search for these items leads Julia to Elizabeth, the last woman Gabe loved, in an interaction that leaves Julia with more questions than answers. Both women, it turns out, have something to hide, and soon find themselves engaged in a complex dance of withholding and revelation.

Together, the two must reconcile their conflicting memories of Gabe and who he was to each of them…and who they now are to each other.

From the Emmy Award-winning writer behind Hacks and Parks and Recreation, Loved One is a wise, witty and profoundly moving coming-of-age story with a powerful love at its heart, set to become an instant classic.
