Vince and Joy cover

The bestselling love story about one missed chance, and two people changed for all time. One Day before its time.

From teenage love in an eighties holiday park to flatshares, relationships, career crises and children, Vince and Joy is the unforgettable story of two lives lived separately but forever entwined.

The huge bestseller from the author of The Family Upstairs and The Girls - a love story for anyone who adored One Day in December and David Nicholls.

Right person. Wrong time . . .


Vince and Joy have their whole lives ahead of them on the day they meet as teenagers, and instantly fall in love.

But two weeks later, a misunderstanding forces them apart.

When they cross paths seven years later they've been living very different lives.

Yet neither of them has been able to let go of their first love.

What happens when you meet the right person at the wrong time?

'Vince and Joy got me through a hard time. Gave me the strength to walk away from my situation. When we read books about characters we can relate to, it makes us feel less alone. An awakening' C L Moore
