Praise for The One That Got Away: 'Compelling tale of the power of first love. Hooks you in with a sucker punch and never lets go' Linda Green 'Evocative and beautifully written... I defy anyone who has experienced the heartbreak of first love not to cry when they read it.' Nikki Smith, author of Look What You Made Me Do 'Captures masterfully the magic and devastation of first love... A powerful exploration of the relationships that shape us, this is a nostalgic, fierce and utterly spellbinding read.'

Rebecca Wait, author of I'm Sorry You Feel That Way 'Do not let this one get away. It will steal your heart.' Lesley Kara, author of The Dare
