What to expect

London. Nine million people. Two hundred and seventy tube stations. Every day, thousands of chance encounters, first dates, goodbyes and happy ever afters.

And for twenty years it's been where one man and one woman can never get their timing right.

Jennifer and Nick meet as teenagers and over the next two decades, they fall in and out of love with each other. Sometimes they start kissing. Sometimes they're just friends. Sometimes they stop speaking, but they always find their way back to each other.

But after all this time, are they destined to be together or have they finally reached the end of the line?

Critics Review

This is already one of my books of the year! . . . A VERY special book - a decades-long 'near miss' love story, it gave me One Day vibes. It's GORGEOUS, real, believable and BEAUTIFUL
Marian Keyes
Reading London, with Love reminded me why Sarra Manning is one of my favourite writers. It's wonderful - romantic, sexy, moving, and impossible to put down.
Louise O'Neill
Witty, well-paced and wonderfully entertaining, with a heroine you really root for
Daily Mail
A wonderful rom-com - such a glorious treat
Harriet Evans
Wonderful. An epic, enduring love story that is so funny, tender and warm. I loved everything about it.
Cressida McLaughlin
Immersive, razor sharp and full of tenderness. Manning explores love in many forms - not least her obvious affection for the city in which this romance unfolds. But it is her witty rendering of life in the 90s that I really fell for! I was transported!
Claire McGlasson
Sarra Manning's stunning, beautifully written book is not just a love letter to London, but a love letter to what really matters in life: each other. Funny, smart and gorgeously romantic, London, With Love is the perfect read to make you smile on the rainiest of days
Katy Birchall
A book to treasure - brilliantly crafted with characters that feel like lifelong friends. Beautiful, romantic, real, poignant, nostalgic and completely compelling. I love this book with all my heart.
Alex Brown
This is light, dark, sweet, sour, sexy, funny and so real . . . So knowing, so smart, but so generous, kind and inclusive
Daisy Buchanan
I loved it so much . . . it's funny, clever, gorgeously sexy and the characters are compelling. Never mind heartwarming, it's heart-boiling
Lucy Vine
London, With Love is just all kinds of glorious, one minute moving me to tears, the next making me snort with laughter. I'm going to be pressing it into the hands of all my friends and family
Jenny Ashcroft
Sarra Manning is the queen of London-set romance. London, With Love is the sort of book that sweeps you off your feet and wins your heart with laughter, tears and the whole cavalcade of city life. Utterly romantic, totally recognisable and with as much spirit as the city itself, this is an unforgettable love story
Jane Casey
Pure nostalgia - I laughed, I cried bittersweet tears and then I texted my mates to say you have to read this . . .
Penny Parkes
A pitch-perfect love story, brimming with tenderness, humour and great longing. I loved every single word of this beautiful, epic tale of missed connections and second chances
Rosie Walsh
I read it in one huge gulp, laughing and crying my way through . . . a really beautiful and honest love story, I loved it as a classic coming-of-age novel with a sparky and engaging heroine
Laura Wood
Brimful of longing, tenderness and the pain of missed chances, this book could soften the stoniest heart

Fabulous
The descriptions of London through the 1980s up to the present day - the neighbourhoods, the music, the clothes - are pitch perfect
Good Housekeeping
Reads like a love letter to London the backdrop to much of the story. With two compelling lead characters, it's romantic, moving and impossible to put down. If you loved David Nicholls' One Day, you'll adore this
Daily Mirror
Sarra Manning writes straight from the soul in this powerful, intimate and completely captivating love story
Woman’s Own
Those of us who remember paisley shirts, The Smiths and Doc Martens the first time around will love London With Love . . . warm and witty
The Gloss
A fabulous rom-com
Daily Mail
I adored this beautiful nostalgic love story
Yours Magazine
This is the on-again off-again love story of Jennifer and Nick, who first meet as teenagers in 80s north London and spend the next few decades never quite getting their timing right. London, With Love is a gorgeous read, heaped full of nostalgia and a romance to really root for
I News, The Best Books to Read This Valentine's
Perceptive, funny and entertaining, you can't go wrong with Sarra Manning's winning books. In her latest, it's an exploration of how sometimes finding the right person for you doesn't happen overnight - in fact, it could take 20 years. Weaving together major cultural and historical moments from 1986 onwards, Jen and Nick are drawn together, fall out and finally realise what they mean to each other, all set against the highs and lows of living in London (out now in hardback, out in paperback 3 August).
Stylist, Best Rom-Com Books for the Summer
Clever and nostalgic, with loveable characters, this is a rom-com with real heart and guts
