Summary

'A tender portrait of New York and the imperfect people who call it home... a book for the romantics who demand their happy endings' - Ali Rosen, bestselling author of The Slow Burn

'Friends references, a New York Summer and a gorgeous tiny dog called Thor – what’s not to love? It was a big hug in a book and I’m completely smitten!' - Carrie Elks, author of Strictly Business

You never know when love may come knocking...

Hopeless romantic and romance editor Elle Thompson lives for happy endings – but real-life love? Not so much. Still, she’s totally thrilled when her best friend gets engaged. Really. Not jealous at all.

Meanwhile, Oliver Cole likes things a certain way. Schedules and routines and order. So when his move back to New York is disrupted by the addition of Thor – the dog his sister adopted before moving to Italy – he’s less than delighted. Even less enthused? His neighbour, Elle.

When Elle can’t bear to hear Thor howling all night, she and Oliver strike a deal: she’ll dog-sit during his shifts. But their reluctant arrangement soon leads to late-night chats, undeniable chemistry, and two guarded hearts learning to open up. Could Elle and Oliver finally get their own happily ever after?

Critic reviews

Cristina Wolf paints a tender portrait of New York and the imperfect people who call it home... a book for the romantics who demand their happy endings (Ali Rosen, bestselling author of THE SLOW BURN)

The One Where They Fall in Love is more than just excellent F.R.I.E.N.D.S. references and will-they-won’t-they tension. Cristina Wolf’s story is a great depiction of what happens when you stop listening to your inner critic and believe there’s someone for everyone, exactly as they are (Sophie Sullivan, author of HOW TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR)
