Eva and Adam are perfect for each other - but their story ends suddenly on page twelve. A warm and moving debut novel about love, grief and friendship, this is a story told backwards, in which Eva discovers that it's not just the ending that she got wrong.

'Wonderful' - Stylist
'Thoroughly addictive. I loved it.' - RUTH HOGAN, author of The Keeper of Lost Things
'Superb' - Louise O'Neill

When Eva and Adam fall into bed one Friday night, tired and happy after drinks with friends, they have their whole lives ahead of them. But their story ends on page twelve.

That's no reason to stop reading though, because How I Lose You is a story told backwards - and it's all the more warm, tender and moving because we know it is going to be interrupted. It's a story Eva thought she knew - but as you and she will discover, it's not just the ending of the story that she got wrong.

Praise for How I Lose You

Intensely moving

Katie Khan

Intriguing, poignant and totally absorbing. I had no idea where it was going, but found it thoroughly addictive. A masterful exploration of grief, relationships and the secrets that we keep from those closest to us. I loved it.

Ruth Hogan, author of THE KEEPER OF LOST THINGS

McNaughton is a profoundly tender storyteller. A truly moving book about love, humanity and sadness, laced with wit - compelling reading for anyone who needs to find a light in the dark

Daisy Buchanan

Pulls you into its thrall from the very first pages. A book I'll press into the hands of my friends, urging them to read it

Kerry Hudson

Superb - so confident and deft and skilfully written

Louise O'Neill

A poignant and uplifting exploration of what makes a relationship, of how it grows and how it makes us the person we are, this is a wonderful read
