'Ingenious, heartwarming and romantic' SOPHIE KINSELLA
'Surprising and deeply satisfying' EMILY HENRY

Three women. Three dates. One missing man . . .

8.52 a.m. Siobhan's looking forward to her date with Joseph. Breakfast on Valentine's Day surely means something . . . so where is he?

2.43 p.m. Miranda's hoping that a Valentine's Day lunch with Carter will be the perfect way to celebrate her new job. But why hasn't he shown up?

6.30 p.m. Joseph Carter agreed to be Jane's fake boyfriend at a dreaded engagement party tonight. But he's not here . . .

Meet Joseph Carter. That is, if you can find him.

An unexpected love story, The No-Show is an utterly extraordinary tear-jearker of a book, a heart-breaking and joyful novel about dating, and waiting, and the ways love can find us.

This is not just your standard romance book. A very exceptional storyline and did not expect that twist towards the end. So many emotions going, I was in tears. Just beautifully written.
