Laura Pearson

The No.1 bestselling author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont is back with a BRAND NEW story, perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover, Jojo Moyes and The Husbands by Holly Gramazio. The most unmissable ‘what if?’ love story of the year!
Suddenly Maddy is right there… in her own future. And it’s all wrong, yet again.

It happens to her every time. When the kisses lead to the bedroom, just when she thinks she might have found the one… Just for a split second, Maddy disappears, and she finds that she’s living her own life. But ten years from now.

She’s only in the future for a little while. But each time, it’s long enough to know that she doesn’t want to be any of those versions of Maddy. Because every man she falls for seems to lead her to a life that is just… wrong.

Until she meets Oliver. And the vision of what lies ahead for them is happy. A little girl runs around, giggle, her braids flying behind her. She has eyes just like Oliver’s.

There’s just one catch. It’s clear that finding her way to that future isn’t straightforward. So if Maddy wants the life she’s seeing with Oliver in ten years’ time, she may have no other option than to break his heart right now…

Would you destroy your happiness now if there was a chance it could give you the perfect future?
