It Might Never Happen

A raw, astute and painfully relatable novel about the relationships that shape us and the relationship we have with ourselves, from the author of Everyone I Know is Dying . Noa is desperate to be loved. More than anything else - more than her studies, more than her job, her friends, her family - she wants to belong to someone. And she knows if this can happen, if someone will just choose her, she''ll finally be happy. Elliot is terrified. Terrified about what will happen to his brother, Willy, if he isn''t there to keep him safe. Terrified that his friends will find out that he doesn''t have any of his own opinions. Terrified that the girl he loves will realise he isn''t a real person. When they meet, Noa and Elliot have an immediate connection. And each of them hopes their great love might be enough to quiet the voices that tell them they''re not enough. But is it possible to love another person when you have no idea how to love yourself? It Might Never Happen is a beautiful, painful, brutally relatable novel about the ways that love tears us apart, again and again. About fearing for the worst - and how we pick ourselves up when it happens.
