If you have loved someone, you know it isn't in the grand gestures. It's in the minutes.
7:02 p.m. Pasta. Taxes. The moment you realize you wanted nothing to happen, because nothing means you're safe.
2:17 p.m. The floor. The firing. The moment you learn love isn't a solution. It's a witness.
If You Have Loved Someone is a literary novel told in minutes rather than years. From 5:00 a.m. dreams to 6:02 p.m. arguments, from 7:45 a.m. missing socks to 1:00 a.m. promises made without a ring, it follows the ordinary moments that shape a lasting love.
Perfect for readers of Normal People by Sally Rooney, One Day by David Nicholls, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.
No airport sprints. No grand speeches. Just soup. Socks. Scars. And the moment you say: This is the minute. We're in it. Stay.
A novel about the love that stays-the kind you practice at 9:15 p.m.
