What to expect

The brand new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Just Haven't Met You Yet and This Time Next Year

What would you do if the one that got away turned up the night before your wedding?

Audrey is marrying Josh; steady, dependable Josh, the love of her life. They share a flat and a bank account, and it's the only relationship that Audrey's ever had that feels like something she can put her trust in. But romance should be full of fireworks, and as the big day approaches, Audrey's found herself wondering if Josh really is 'the one'.

So, when Josh's sister Miranda arrives at their rehearsal dinner with Fred - Audrey's 'What If? guy', the man she met six years ago and had one amazing day with but never saw again - Audrey can't help but see it as a sign.

Surely Fred's appearance the night before Audrey is due to get married can't be a coincidence. And when everything that could go wrong with the wedding starts to go wrong, Audrey has to wonder: could fate be trying to stop her from making a huge mistake?

Critics Review

  • Romantic, wise and LOVELY

    Marian Keyes
  • A new Sophie Cousens book is always cause for celebration. Sweet, smart, funny and warm, Before I Do is rom-com writing at its best.

    Lindsey Kelk
  • I am the biggest fan of Sophie Cousens! She always delivers a true, laugh-out-loud, romcom with a ton of depth, and Audrey may be my favourite heroine. Before I Do could easily be her best book yet!

    Lizzy Dent
  • A must-read for every rom-com reader out there, Before I Do is warm, witty, and wise. I raced through it! It’s Sophie’s best book yet – she really is a writer to watch

    Laura Jane Williams
  • I’m a big fan of Cousens’s beautifully written, pacy stories and this one is especially good on relationships,
    expectations, second chances and how hard it can be to let go.

    Daily Mail
  • A total page-turner – with an endearing protagonist and packed with humour and warmth, Before I Do is a dazzling romance. This book is definitely ‘the one’!
