Equal parts wry comedy and touching family drama, it’s ultimately a heartbreaker that’ll stay with you long after you’re done. -Marie Claire

Glass of chilled rose, check. Comfy chair, check. Box of tissues, check. You Me Everything is everything you need for a moving, funny, heartbreaking, and ultimately joyous read.
–Susan Wiggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Map of the Heart

Set in the French countryside on an idyllic summer vacation, a delicious, tender novel about finding joy and love even in the most unexpected places.

Jess and her ten-year-old son William set off to spend the summer at Chateau de Roussignol, deep in the rich, sunlit hills of the Dordogne. There, Jess’s ex-boyfriend-and William’s father-Adam, runs a beautiful hotel in a restored castle. Lush gardens, a gorgeous pool, delectable French food, and a seemingly never-ending wine list-what’s not to like? Jess is bowled over by what Adam has accomplished, but she’s in France for a much more urgent reason: to make Adam fall in love with his own son.

But Adam has other ideas, and another girlfriend-and he doesn’t seem inclined to change the habits of a lifetime just because Jess and William have appeared on the scene.
Jess isn’t surprised, but William-who has quickly come to idolize his father-wants nothing more than to spend time with him. But Jess can’t allow Adam to let their son down-because she is tormented by a secret of her own, one that nobody-especially William-must discover.

By turns heartwrenching and hopeful, You Me Everything is a novel about one woman’s fierce determination to grab hold of the family she has and never let go, and a romantic story as heady as a crisp Sancerre on a summer day.
