For fans of 500 Days of Summer, Notting Hill and New Girl, This is a Love Story is a very exciting first novel from Jessica Thompson.
This is a love story.
Boy meets girl and girl falls for boy - that much is true.
But when Sienna meets Nick it's not the way it happens in love stories. It's because of a squirrel on water skis...
She sees Nick's dangerous brown eyes and thinks,
Don't.
Fall.
Into.
Them.
Who will be there to catch Sienna when she falls? She is so fragile. She has so many secrets, and he is not that serious.
Funny and sad, this is the story of two people destined never to come together in the great love affair they crave more than anything else.

'Thompson's first novel is a triumph... What I really enjoyed was the way Thompson conveys the whole world of young, single London, the clothes, the music, the furnishings and the central, abiding love of the great city itself, full of excitement and potential. Infectious.' * Daily Mail *

'WOW! What an adorable and emotional story and an incredibly debut novel from Jessica Thompson who is surely an author to look out for... Jessica writes from the heart, and the characters were perfectly formed. So hard to believe that this delightfully compelling book that had me spellbound from the very start, wasn't penned by an author who'd been writing for years. I'm sure that given the reading enjoyment that this book gave me, Jessica Thompson will be a well-established author that we'll be seeing for many years to come.' * Kim the bookworm blog *
