Love has the power to transform lives, but can it endure the trials of marriage and the onset of middle age? William Boyd describes it as "wonderfully wise, moving, and heartfelt," while the Daily Telegraph refers to it as "a tender love story." This narrative was even longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award in 2025. The story revolves around Lily, who experiences love at first sight with Sam, although it takes him a day or two longer to feel that connection. Interestingly, Lily, a documentary filmmaker, has always been skeptical about love, whereas Sam, a playwright, assumed he had a firm grasp on it. Both are trapped in stagnant relationships until an irresistible affair sparks between them. As they venture into mid-life, their relationship unveils unforeseen possibilities. The pressing question, however, is what will become of them once the comfort of familiarity and the passage of time start to take their toll. Harper's Bazaar praises it for celebrating love later in life, and the Evening Standard highlights it as "playful, knowing... a romping read in all senses." Linda Grant asserts that this marks Jacobson at his finest.
