What to expect
Get to know Tess and Gus in Kate Eberlen's first novel, Miss You.
Tess and Gus are meant to be. They just haven't met properly yet. And perhaps they never will . . .
Today is the first day of the rest of your life is the motto on a plate in the kitchen at home, and Tess can't get it out of her head, even though she's in Florence for a final, idyllic holiday before university. Her life is about to change forever - but not in the way she expects.
Gus and his parents are also on holiday in Florence. Their lives have already changed suddenly and dramatically. Gus tries to be a dutiful son, but longs to escape and discover what sort of person he is going to be.
For one day, the paths of an eighteen-year-old girl and boy criss-cross before they each return to England.
Over the course of the next sixteen years, life and love will offer them very different challenges. Separated by distance and fate, there's no way the two of them are ever going to meet each other properly . . . or is there?
Critics Review
-
Witty, poignant and uplifting . . . I couldn't put it down
Sophie Kinsella
-
I adored this book: wildly romantic, heart-achingly sad, warmly funny and really clever. Deserves to do just as brilliantly as [One Day]
Daily Mail

Just the thing for long Summer nights
Good Housekeeping
-
A fabulous piece of storytelling -- fresh, sweet and funny and extremely wise on grief and its endless ripples

Gloriously romantic . . . One of those rare books that has you laughing and crying at the same time

If you liked One Day, you are going to love this
Essentials Magazine

Lots of books get compared to One Day and Me Before You but few pass muster. Miss You by Kate Eberlin certainly does and I'd highly recommend you make it your summer read of choice. I promise you'll be sobbing all over your sun lounger and will feel all the better for it

I loved it
Woman & Home

Brilliantly constructed, with wonderful characters you'll be cheering on, this romantic story is full of poignant moments, has huge heart and massive feel-good factor. Engrossing and entertaining

My favourite book of 2016
Veronica Henry
-
Funny, poignant and really rather lovely . . . Wonderfully light
Guardian
-
In the vein of The Versions of Us and One Day . . . Funny, sad and full of humanity
Red Magazine
-
Both wonderfully romantic yet also true to life. The perfect summer read
Kate Mosse
-
Miss You is one of those lovely, comfy duvets of a book that pulls you in and wraps itself around you. A beautifully simple idea, and a simply beautiful book
Simon Toyne
-
Hugely enjoyable . . . Thoroughly deserving comparison with David Nicholls' wonderful One Day (and I don't say that lightly), this is commercial fiction of the very highest order
Bookseller
-
Tantalising . . . What makes [Miss You] such a satisfying read is that both narratives are thoroughly satisfying in their own right, with plenty of great subplots . . . A guilty pleasure
Reader's Digest
-
Charming, comforting, acutely honest, [Miss You] belongs on the same shelf as One Day
Mark Ellen
-
If David Nicholl's novel One Day and Richard Linklater's Before Sunset films were to meet, have a brief, thrilling affair and end up producing an unexpected love child, it would be Kate Eberlen's Miss You. A warm and funny romance that will divert and delight you in equal measure
Leah McLaren
-
An unashamedly romantic novel, but one that also deals with the ongoing and deep-seated effects of grief. Both intricate and engrossing, its real pleasure lies in Eberlen's assured writing with its level of detail and rich characterisation. "Do you think you'll ever know what it's like to be someone else?" asks Tess. Thanks to the author's skill, that's exactly what we discover.
