A long‑lost friend reappears and ignites an old spark, leading to an emotionally fraught love triangle
One bright blue day, on a bench by the river, Nora's boyfriend Robin proposes.
It is unexpected; they'd always agreed that they didn't need a wedding. But after a decade of in‑jokes, dancing in their low‑lit kitchen and sharing morning toast in bed, Nora says yes. Why wouldn't she?
The answer lands on the night of their engagement party, when Bren turns up on her doorstep.
Growing up, Bren and Nora were the sort of best friends who everyone swore would end up together. But when a sudden heartbreak turned their lives upside down, Bren left, Nora stayed, and the silent longing between them remained unspoken.
Now, he's back, and their tentative yet undeniable spark reignites, forcing Nora to ask herself: How can you know your heart, if it feels like it's split in two?
Tender and all‑consuming, People in Love is a story about what‑ifs and maybes, and the moments of misunderstanding that can shape our lives. It's a book about living one life while musing on another, exploring how our choices shape our relationships and inform our regrets, and revealing, in the end, that the real love story is not always the one you'd expect.
