Penguin, 2025

'Clever, joyful, familiar, and so funny' NINA STIBBE 'A deeply appealing and winning novel' MEG WOLITZER ‘So astonishingly clever, but with a core of love. I adored it’ DAISY BUCHANAN ‘Consider me smitten’ CHRIS POWER ‘I loved it, I loved them, I already know I will read it again’ ELLA RISBRIDGER 'Sweet and tender' PANDORA SYKES 'An exhilarating read, a marvel of a book' RUMAAN ALAM ‘The platonic ideal of reading experiences!’ LIZZY STEWART ‘A marvel of a book that I will never stop thinking about’ ORE AGBAJE-WILLIAMS ‘Oh, how I loved and empathised with Coralie!’ JENNIE GODFREY ‘I cried when I read the last page, simply because I was bereft that it was over’ CLAIRE DEDERER ‘I was grinning like an idiot for the first forty pages, and crying for the next forty’ EMMA HEALEY *** What’s the grown-up meaning of ‘happily ever after’? When she first meets Adam, Coralie is new to London and feeling adrift. But Adam is clever, witty, and (he insists) a quarter of an inch taller than the average British male. His charming four-year-old daughter, Zora, only adds to his appeal. But ten years on, something important is missing from the life Coralie and Adam have built. Or maybe, having gained everything she dreamed of, Coralie has lost something she once had: herself. Set against an eventful decade that included the soap opera of five Prime Ministers plus Brexit and Covid, Consider Yourself Kissed puts the subjects of love and family on a grand stage, showing how the intimate dramas in our homes inescapably compete for energy and attention with the shared public dramas of our times. Consider Yourself Kissed is an unforgettable literary love story which effortlessly balances sweetness with bite, the public with the personal, and humour with heart. *** ‘A love song to women everywhere’ ANNABEL MONAGHAN ‘A book about falling in love to fall in love with’ LISA OWENS ‘I absolutely raced through this novel. One of those books you’ll want to give all your friends once you’ve finished’ CLAIRE POWELL 'I was so invested in the story that I became Coralie!' Sanam Mahloudji 'A proper grown-up love story' BETH MORREY ‘Beautiful and life-affirming’ ARAMINTA HALL
