AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER ¿ A New York Times Most Anticipated Book of Spring ¿ "A beautiful and all-too-rare look at the importance of platonic love." -Kirkus Reviews (starred)
Friendship is the love story you can count on.
Remy is lucky. Her debut novel, based on her three best friends, became an instant bestseller when it was released, and her agent and publisher are clamoring for a follow-up. But just as Remy's creative inspiration seems to leave her, so too do her friends: one moves to New York, one gets pregnant, and one gets back together with her (awful) boyfriend. After an ill-advised one-night stand complicates matters further, Remy is left deeply alone-and unable to find her next book idea.
Simone is successful. A Kindergarten teacher with a passion for kids, and a well-paying side hustle that affords her all the material comforts she desires, she doesn't have time for a robust social life. All Simone needs is her close-knit family-but after the true nature of her work is revealed, they cut her off, and she realizes for the first time just how isolated she is.
When Simone and Remy bump into each other (literally) in a bookstore, it isn't exactly soulmates at first sight. Simone is guarded and prickly, Remy is insecure and heartbroken, and each woman is harboring a secret. And yet they might just be the missing piece the other has been searching for-if only they can let each other in.
Can Simone help Remy make one of the most important decisions of her life-and can Remy help Simone recover all that she's lost? In Jessica George's heartwarming, funny, and soulful second novel, she explores the restorative nature of female friendship and the life-changing power of platonic love.

Recenzii
As enveloping, soul-filling and moreish as an evening with a friend
A captivating and emotionally rich novel exploring sisterhood, friendship, love and betrayal. I was gripped from the outset.
A rom com for platonic friendship.
Love by the Book goes deeper than just celebrating friendship - it delves into the challenge of navigating its inevitable shifts as we grow older.
I found myself rooting for Remy and Simone as I would any couple falling in love.
George infuses whimsy and heart into her incredible tale despite touches on weighty topics and pressures placed on the book's leading ladies.

Utterly Charming
One of the must-reads of the year
Tender and compelling from the word go
George illustrates the complexities of navigating two cultures and rising from the pressure of other people's expectations beautifully. This is a clever and deeply moving debut

Praise for Jessica George

'Lively, funny, poignant' Bonnie Garmus
'Utterly Charming' Celeste Ng
This isn't a romance. But it is about love.
Remy is lucky. Her three best friends have always been there for her - until the day that they're not. One of them is moving to New York. One of them is pregnant. And one is busy with her (awful) boyfriend. Suddenly, their foursome is splitting - and it feels like a break-up.
Simone doesn't need friends. The only people she needs are her family - but when they cut her off, she realises how alone she is.
When the pair meet in a bookshop, they don't immediately click. But as life keeps throwing them together, they realise that they might just have bumped into exactly what they need... if they can only be brave enough to let each other in.
