What to expect
'I implore you to read (or listen to) it' - Marian Keyes, author of Again, Rachel
An all-consuming story of loneliness, obsession and how far we go for the ones we love, If I Can't Have You is the debut novel by Charlotte Levin.
After fleeing Manchester for London, Constance Little attempts to put past tragedies behind her and make a fresh start. When she embarks on a relationship with the new doctor at the medical practice where she works, she’s convinced she’s finally found the love and security she craves.
Then he ends it.
But if life has taught her anything, it’s that if you love someone, you should never let them go.
That's why for Constance Little, her obsession is only just beginning . . .

Critics Review
I IMPLORE you to read (or listen to) it. It’s SO many things – dark, sweet, odd, moving, credible, tender, BEAUTIFULLY written & at times funny
So beautifully written, such a devastatingly compelling story. I can honestly say it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read – it is without shadow of a doubt, EASILY up there with The Girl on the Train and Eleanor Oliphant
This is superb. The main character Constance is brilliantly flawed and so compassionately drawn – it’s raw and compulsive and disturbing and very well done indeed
An exceptionally raw and visceral and painfully funny novel. Charlotte Levin writes so well and so powerfully about loneliness, longing, love and loss that Constance will stay with me for a long time
A blackly comic but heartfelt story of love and loneliness, with an endearing and damaged heroine
A darkly comic and beautifully written debut novel
Blackly comic, heartrendingly sad . . . a brilliant debut novel
Compulsively readable and darkly funny with pin-sharp characterization. Love love loved it
Brilliant. A perfect and completely terrifying depiction of heartbreak and obsession
