THE LOVE I NEVER KNEW

What if you could choose any life... who would you live it with? An extraordinary and unforgettable novel for anyone who has ever believed in destiny and soulmates - or paused to wonder what your life might look like if you'd made a different choice.

Meet Millie. She has a pretty good life. She loves her job, her little studio apartment and she has the most wonderful best friend in the world. But her love life is a total train wreck. She's always attracted to the wrong men. She's in love with Stephen but he's married to somebody else. Millie always wonders what if? What if she'd met Stephen first, before he met his wife? Would they be together? Would life have played out differently? She daydreams that somewhere, in another life, she and Stephen are together. But then, Millie discovers a basement door. Each time she steps through it, she's thrust into an alternative version of her life. Now, at last, Millie has a chance to cure her heartbreak and find her perfect life. But as Millie explores all the different realities of what her life might had been if she'd made different choices, she comes to realize that Stephen may not be The One after all. What if Millie's perfect partner isn't who she thought he'd be at all? THE LOVE I NEVER KNEW explores the same "what if" concept as C.J.'s previous standalone novels, for readers of The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver, and fans of the film Sliding Doors but with an added "multiverse" element.
