'Very funny. I Love You, I Love You, I Love You bursts with energy.' Matt Haig

Ella and Lowe are teenagers when they first meet in summer 2000. For her, its love at first sight. But its safest to love from afar, where the friendship zone is her safety net and she cant get hurt.

Certain that the most beautiful boy she's ever seen couldn't possibly feel the same, Ella counts herself lucky to have him as her best friend. Over the next fifteen years they share everything: bottles of cider and cigarettes in the rain, gossip and laughter, grief and fear.

But every time Lowe kisses another girl, Ella feels her heart break just that little bit more. She'll have to choose whether it's enough to be just friends with the love of her life, or if she's prepared to let the terrifying, beautiful, all-consuming truth come to light.

From a unique new voice in adult fiction, I Love You, I Love You, I Love You is a glorious nostalgia trip for anyone who has ever known the exquisite pain and pleasure of first love.

So visceral, nostalgic, mucky, heartbreaking and bittersweet. Just DELICIOUS.' Kirsty Capes

'A transporting, technicolour plunge into first, and enduring, love.' Sophie Dahl

'Glorious and tender, evocative and heart nourishing.' Salena Godden

I Love You, I Love You, I Love You Reviews

Laura writes fiction like the poet that she is. No line wasted, every word perfectly placed. The kind of relatable attention to detail that will have you wondering if she stole your teenage diaries and rewrote them with clever insights and laugh out loud humour. I'm not sure I've read a book so perfectly observed. It's every woman's story of the highs and lows of falling in love, perseverance and self preservation. It will have you reaching for your phone to check in on the one that got away, just in case there is a chance. It's a reminder that True Love can really exist. It's a real skill to create a character who is as wild as she is sensible, as chaotic as she is together, as safe as she is dangerous. Ella was perfectly drawn, I rooted for her the whole way. I've been waiting for a book to make me laugh this much. I loved it, I loved it, I loved it! Laura is going to take adult fiction by storm, I can't wait to see what comes next.

MATT HAIG

An absolutely gorgeous book. So visceral, nostalgic, mucky, heartbreaking and bittersweet. Laura captures that weird pocket of time so perfectly: before smartphones, MySpace and calling your mates on the house phone and shag bands and Green Day and all those insecurities and the sharpness of every new experience and feeling. Just DELICIOUS.

KIRSTY CAPES

'It's a transporting, technicolour plunge into first, and enduring, love. As ever, Laura Dockrill's voice is entirely her own. She writes from the inside out and it's beautiful.'

SOPHIE DAHL

'A nostalgic journey through the highs and lows of first love.'
