You and Me, Always is the latest book by prolific author Jill Mansell.
It is set in a village in the picturesque Cotswolds region of England and is more than a love story - it is a story of intertwining fates, of people joined by shared experiences, of secrets, regrets, discoveries and of finding who you are and what is important in life.
It's a delightfully romantic book, sweet but not sugary sweet. Its characters are finely honed and realistic. and it has a page-turning intensity with delightful twists and turns.
