You Belong with Me

Mhairi McFarlane

"The whole time I'm reading a Mhairi McFarlane novel, I feel like a fist is squeezing my heart... she is so ridiculously talented." - Emily Henry

International bestseller Mhairi McFarlane delivers a charming, hilarious, and heartfelt new novel about a woman adjusting to life in the spotlight when she begins a relationship with a famous actor, in this highly anticipated follow-up to Who's That Girl.

She found The One. But when everyone wants him, can she keep him?

Edie found true love. And on Christmas day, he's knocking at her door.

Elliot Owen is handsome, charming and basically Hollywood royalty. And, he insists, madly in love with Edie Thompson: an ordinary citizen with tomato soup stains on her coat. It's going to be complicated. Edie will have to learn how to live in the limelight, but they're just too good together not to try.

Edie discovers it's not easy when the press is the third person in your relationship, or when stories start leaking that force you to mistrust the motives of those around you. It's tricky when you're separated by an ocean and gorgeous co-stars and charismatic new colleagues are closer by. It's harder still when your past is raked up by envious people determined to destroy your present.

Edie already knows how it feels to be infamous, now she's going to find out what it's like to be famous.

Are she and Elliot a fairytale, or a cautionary fable about getting what you wish for?

Praise for this book

"Mhairi McFarlane writes with a singular wit, charm, and emotional complexity, every word just right, every page brimming with delicious tension." -- Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation

"Mhairi McFarlane's voice is as clear as a bell--she makes you laugh, but she also makes you feel. I adore her!" -- Sally Thorne, USA Today bestselling author of The Hating Game

"Fun and engaging but with thought-provoking twists that deepen the emotional impact beyond light romantic comedy." -- Kirkus Reviews

"McFarlane balances sensitive observations on love, death, and friendship with an intoxicating sense of humor as Eve imagines Susie's witty asides in her head. Eve has a way with words and her ebullient narration delights... an engaging protagonist whose complex emotions keep the pages turning... [A] dynamic story of friendship, forgiveness, and finding love where it's least expected..." -- Publishers Weekly

"McFarlane has a charming voice, one distinctly British in its wry humor, whimsical turn of phrase, and vibrant sense of setting... the novel itself is a dizzy delight, bursting with rom-com tropes... If I Never Met You is quippy and warm, an escape in almost every sense of the word, and McFarlane's irresistible voice that balances pathos and humor in equal measure leaves us wanting more." -- Entertainment Weekly

"McFarlane is one of my all-time favorite writers now." -- Emily Henry

"Gorgeous, funny, life-affirming." -- Jenny Colgan

"Bridget Jones, you've got some competition." -- Marie Claire

"Honestly, I cannot remember the last book I loved as much... What a luminous, heart-achingly beautiful love letter to friendship. Knockout!" -- Josie Silver, New York Times bestselling author of The Two Lives of Lydia Bird

"McFarlane's distinct voice, mixing comedy with deep topics of manipulation and trust, never disappoints and will have readers eager for the next page. Perfect for fans of Sally Thorne and Emily Henry." -- Library Journal (starred review)
