What to expect

'Laugh-out-loud, heartwarming tale' BETH O'LEARY

'Pure romance magic' CHRISTINA LAUREN

'Beyond wonderful, so funny, so sweet' LINDSEY KELK

Millie Chandler is known at work as the nice receptionist who got dumped by the company hotshot, and ever since then, she has vowed to keep everything to herself - her feelings, her hopes, and especially her fears.

But Millie does have an outlet: her emails. From sarcastic replies to her rude boss, rants to friends about their terrible taste in men to a five-hundred-word love declaration to her ex, who three years on, is about to marry someone else. Millie's reality lives in her drafts until the morning she discovers that they are somehow in her sent folder. The truth is out.

As every dark secret she's worked so hard to keep password protected is released, Millie must fix the chaos her words have caused.

Will Millie find the strength to open both her heart, and her inbox?

Critics Review

I am such a huge Lia Louis fan. Better Left Unsent is an absolutely gorgeous, laugh-out-loud, heartwarming tale of a life fully lived, with one of the smartest rom-com concepts I've ever come across. Such a joyous read
Beth O'Leary, Sunday Times Bestselling Author
Such a brilliant premise and an unrelenting delight! I opened this one to peek and ended up reading it in one, breathless sitting. Voicy, hilarious, vulnerable and triumphant, Better Left Unsent is an absolute blast. Pure romance magic!
Christina Lauren, New York Times Bestselling Author
This novel is perfection. I was stunned by the high-concept hook and blown away by its execution. In a world of rom coms that can blur into one another, Lia Louis is standing head and shoulders above every single one
Gillian McAllister, Sunday Times and New York Times Bestselling Author
Who among us hasn't accidentally sent an email we wished we hadn't to the wrong person? This cringe-worthy setup - the premise of Lia Louis' Better Left Unsent - blossoms into a charming story about living with authenticity, owning our mistakes, and being brave enough to stop chasing love . . . and to let it find us instead
Jodi Picoult, New York Times Bestselling Author
No one writes a romcom like Lia Louis. Better Left Unsent is beyond wonderful; so funny, so sweet, very, very romantic, and somehow managed to make me feel better about every email I've ever sent accidentally (I've sent a lot of accidental emails). Lia is and always will be my auto-buy author, this is the perfect book to brighten up your day
Lindsey Kelk, Sunday Times Bestselling Author
A sensational romcom - witty, warm and beautifully romantic. Each page is packed with chemistry and sparkling prose, with characters so real and relatable, they will steal your heart. This is Lia Louis's best book yet - a five-star triumph
Holly Miller
Oh man, I so enjoyed this book. It's filled to the brim with Lia's genuine warmth, generosity and sharply funny observations about human nature. Seeing Millie's journey from meek to completely courageous was deeply satisfying. I highly recommend Better Left Unsent to anyone looking for a romantic, emotional tale with a real charm and characters you can't help but take into your heart
