Synopsis

What if the universe wants two people to be together, but they're too messed up to notice? This Next Great Love Story is a swoony slow-burn 'Brits in New York' can't-put-down YA read that's perfect for fans of Normal People and aspirational cinematic romance.

'I'll come back.' I tell him, squeezing his hand. 'Of course I will.'
'You have to. You don't want to offend the universe after it put in so much work to get you here.'
'Right.' I smile. 'Except I thought you didn't believe in that stuff?'
'Yeah, well, life happens. You happened.'

Rookie model, Audrey, is navigating the dizzying bright lights of New York for the first time as Ezra - no stranger to the city, returns from studying abroad with a broken nose and a broken heart. Their connection is instant, smouldering and all-consuming. But when Audrey is confronted with the darker facets of the fashion industry and Ezra's past proves impossible to outrun, will it be enough?

Fate brought them together, but it might just tear them apart . . .

A gorgeous 'will they, won't they' hook-laden dual POV romance that's irresistible escapism in the most glamorous New York package. Scintillatingly hot yet endearing flawed characters strut (and stumble) right off the page as Audrey and Ezra's tension fizzes throughout.

I don’t even know where to start with this one. We Used To Be Magic is a book that reminded me why I love reading.

3.5/5 Dans ce roman double PoV, on suit d’un côté Audrey, jeune mannequin qui arrive à New York et de l’autre Erza, jeune homme complément paumé. J’ai eu l’agréable surprise de voir l’aspect du métier d’Audrey plutôt bien exploité pour une romance de 400 pages. Ce n’est pas juste un fil rouge et on......more
