“Ellen O'Clover is one of my favorite writers — her books leave me in perpetual awe. The yearning here is top-tier, the characters beautifully messy, the tension hot enough to set the pages on fire. The romance genre is radically lucky to have Ellen's voice in it.”—Rachel Lynn Solomon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Extracurricular
“This is my favorite read of the year. If Not You shows the beautifully devastating reality of yearning and life’s inevitable failures. Ellen O’Clover’s writing is stunning, smart, and never lets go of your heart for a single second. I will never stop recommending this book.”—Julie Olivia, USA Today bestselling author of If It Makes You Happy
"If Not You is my favorite kind of romance: intimate and engrossing, gorgeously written and so real that the characters live on with me way past the last page. I inhaled every morsel of the rivals-and-lovers tension between Mattie and Campbell, and savored the immense yearning splashed across every page. Ellen O'Clover is one of my favorite romance authors, and this book perfectly illustrates why she's also one of the best."—Jessica Joyce, USA Today bestselling author of The Ex Vows
"If Not You is an even more fabulous follow-up to an already incredible debut from Ellen O’Clover. I’m not sure what my favorite part of her writing is: maybe her mastery of metaphor, her characterization, the specificity about copywriting, the evocative imagery. Mattie and Campbell’s world was as real as the one around me. O’Clover could write absolutely anything, and we’re all so lucky she chooses to write about love."—Rachel Runya Katz, USA Today bestselling author of Isn’t It Obvious?
"If Not You kept me up all night! It is the type of story that refuses to be set down. Ellen O'Clover masterfully crafts a heartfelt romance full of delicious tension and longing. The settings are enchanting, the writing is sublime, and readers should expect to fall deeply in love with both Mattie and Campbell. I certainly did. The saddest part of this book was turning the final page because I never wanted it to end."—Lauren Connolly, author of PS: I Hate You and Love in Plane Sight
