Synopsis

'I loved it - another hugely satisfying read from Roisin' Sheila O'Flanagan, author of The Honeymoon Affair

Three great loves. Two very different countries. One step closer to finding her way home...

As a new decade begins, hopeless romantic and big dreamer Ellen is finally moving on from her hometown.

In Galway she takes a job in a bookshop, and somewhere between the dusty bookshelves and the quiet afternoons, a bookseller named Ben finds a place in her heart.

Fast forward, and the bright lights (and cosy flats) of London are calling Ellen's name. There she meets Leo, a charming, attentive city banker who's everything she's ever wanted.

And wherever she goes, her heart beats in time with her childhood friend, Danny - though they never seem to be in the right place at the right time.

If home is where the heart is, where will Ellen's lead her?

One Day meets The Flatshare in this uplifting romance, perfect for fans of Marian Keyes, Lucy Diamond and anyone who loved the TV show, Love Life.
