'Achingly beautiful, and heartbreakingly relatable.' DANA SCHWARTZ
'Beautiful and raw, Adelaide is a visceral portrayal of love and loss... Wheeler is a master.' ELLA BERMAN, Reese's Book Club Pick author

On an otherwise ordinary day, 26-year-old American expat Adelaide Williams walks into a London hospital and asks for help. Something's not right. She doesn't feel like herself any more.

For the past year, she's been dating Rory Hughes, the charming man she met when she was least expecting to fall in love. Does he respond to texts? Honour his commitments? Make advance plans? Sometimes, rarely, and no, not at all. Despite everything, Adelaide is convinced he's The One.

But when tragedy strikes unexpectedly, their relationship crumbles, and Adelaide realises she doesn't want to live without him. Because how can you move on from a love that's changed you forever?

An emotional, relatable debut from a fresh new voice that captures the timeless nature of what it's like to be young and in love – with your friends, with your city, and with the one person who cannot, will not, love you back.

'Open-hearted and tender writing with characters so convincing I was sure I could hold a conversation with them off the page.' Lottie Hazell, author of Piglet
'Adelaide is an eternally relatable tale of longing, loss and love... equally heart-breaking and heart-warming.' Emily Slapper, author of Everyone I Know is Dying
'A beautifully-written, deeply-felt exploration of what it means to love and be loved... A remarkable debut.' Jill Santopolo, New York Times bestselling author of The Light We Lost
'Wheeler's debut is searingly raw... Her whole soul is poured out onto the pages, and you'll find it hard not to feel your own heart crack and stomach turn... Vulnerable, tender, and impossible to put down.' Kirkus, Starred Review
'Heartfelt' Booklist
'A fearless portrayal of unrequited love... Wheeler's debut is engrossing and poignant, full of grit and vulnerability' Carola Lovering, author of Tell Me Lies
'The complex heroine animates every page' Publishers Weekly
'An incredible debut exploring mental illness, grief and how to know when to put yourself first' My Weekly
'If you've ever loved the wrong person or the right person at the wrong time then your heart will ache' Serendipity
