Description
A gorgeously romantic novel you will fall in love with and tell all your friends about!
One love. Two people. Twenty Years.
From the moment their eyes met across the room at a house party, Erin and Dom were meant to be.
If only it could be so simple. Over the years, the highs and lows of life conspire to keep them apart.
But a notebook can bring them together. On the blank pages of their love story, they write down everything they can't always say - the secrets, the hopes and the love.
Falling in love is easy but staying in love is where the story begins...
