Miss You

Tess is in Florence for a final, idyllic holiday before university. Her life is about to change forever – but not in the way she expects.

Gus and his parents are also on holiday in Florence. Their lives have already changed suddenly and dramatically. Gus tries to be a dutiful son, but longs to escape and discover what sort of person he is going to be.

For one day, the paths of an eighteen-year-old girl and boy criss-cross before they each return to England.

Over the course of the next sixteen years, life and love will offer them very different challenges. Separated by distance and fate, there’s no way the two of them are ever going to meet each other properly…But sometimes fate can turn.

Kate Eberlen lives in Poole with her family. Her fascination with different lives and cultures lead her to study Classics at university in Oxford. She has had many careers in her time, literary agent, author, dinner lady, teacher, the list goes on. She now teaches English as a foreign language and wrote Miss You in between lessons.
