#IfICantHaveYou #MeetConstanceLittle

f I Can’t Have You by Charlotte Levin is an all-consuming novel about loneliness, obsession and how far we go for the ones we love.

Samuel, the day we met I knew I’d finally found what I’ve been waiting for.

You.

Happiness, at last.

Then you left me.

And now I am alone.

Everyone I love leaves in the end.

But not this time.

I’m not giving up on us.

I’m not giving up on you.

When you love someone, you never let them go.

That’s why for me, this is just beginning.

If I Can’t Have You by Charlotte Levin is published on 9th July by Mantle, priced £14.99 in hardback.

This is the story of Constance Little, a woman who has lost her mother and moved to a new city. She falls hard for a new Doctor at the practise she has been working at and we follow their relationship.

⁣
This was a very detailed and character driven plot build up. It shows how a normal relationship can quickly escalate to an unhealthy obsession. ⁣

I did like the ending and I can definitely see why lots of people are loving this one as it’s well written and leaves you with that creepy uncomfortable feeling so effortlessly, but for me it just felt a little slow & flat, with quiet a predictable story line.

Thank you to @ed_pr @Panmacmillan and @MantleBooks for my #gifted copy in exchange for review.
