You & Me and You & Me and You & Me cover

Discover the funny, heartfelt novel about love, regret and second chances from real-life married couple writers Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Rees.

What would you do if you could go back and change anything in your life?

Adam and Jules have been married for twenty-five years when they discover a time machine in their garden shed. Miraculously powered by the old mixtapes they’ve given each other over the years, it allows them to travel back to pivotal moments in their relationship.

They can now relive the moments that made them fall in love. Fix the mistakes. Choose differently. Perfect everything.

But soon they discover that playing ‘what if’ is as dangerous as it is addictive. As the ripple effects spiral out of control, can they find a way back to their messy, glorious real life? Or will they lose each other forever?

If it was you, what would you dare to change?

Witty, relatable, and packed full of nostalgia - I can’t think of two better authors to project us back in time to the 90s. Readers new and old will find a lot to love about this story -- Paige Toon, Sunday Times bestselling author of WHAT IF I NEVER GET OVER YOU

A funny, heartfelt and thoughtful exploration of love, choices and second chances * Woman's Own *
Beneath its clever construct and the romp of likeable people and whipsmart dialogue, lie layers and layers of emotional intelligence… it’s funny, it’s moving and it asks questions we all have: if we could stop time and turn back the clocks what would we do differently? -- Freya North
If you read just one book this year, read this one — a time bending, high concept love story full of nostalgia and “what ifs”— I fell in love with these characters from the first page.

I loved this book. I don’t know when I’ve been more invested in a fictional relationship or felt so deeply the hopes and failures of people I’ll never meet. It’s a brilliant and heartfelt novel about how the mundane decisions of family life shape our futures. A perfect five star read -- Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author of IT'S A LOVE STORY
Compelling * Daily Mail *
If you’ve ever thought that music IS time travel… and you love nostalgia and/or quantum mechanics, then this is the love story for you. From the first time they press play and rewind through the decades you’re gripped and invested and wishing your dusty old tape deck would do the same. If stories could be DJ-ed, this would be a joyful mash-up of One Day, High Fidelity and Sliding Doors… A wonderful love letter to analogue times, to true love, and to feeling homesick for the past. Until of course we learn that time - like love - isn’t linear. This is a beautiful novel which will stay with you long after the last paragraph has faded out. -- Lorelei Mathias
I was absolutely enchanted by this book… This genius, relatable, funny book should not be missed * Platinum *
