What is love? Is it something spiritual or wholly physical? Can our feelings be explained and quantified? Or are we all actually two halves of a whole?

Ask Alice and Luke and you’d receive vastly different answers.

Despite her world having been recently dismantled by a messy break-up, Alice would tell you that love is the most important – albeit ineffable – human experiences. But when she once again crosses paths with her old school nemesis, Luke, he challenges this. Luke is a scientist and he’s certain love can be measured and explained – just like everything else.

So the two decide to make a bet: they’ll each venture back into dating and if one of them falls in love, Alice wins, if not, then Luke does.

But can anyone win when you’re playing with emotions?

Rebecca Ryan lives in Bradford with her three young children. Although she always loved writing, it hadn’t really occurred to her that she could do it professionally. She recently left her job as a teacher to pursue writing full-time. She enjoys walking in the countryside and takeaways (if that counts as a hobby).

Reviews

‘I absolutely adored this book. Hilarious and heartfelt... one of those stories that sweeps you up in a big hug and makes you laugh out loud. Relatable, witty and warm... not to be missed.’ Rachel Greenlaw 'It's a love story to love - what it absolutely isn't and what it very definitely is' Lucy Keeling 'I enjoyed every page of this fabulous book and was cheering all the characters along from the outset. Rebecca Ryan’s delicious sense of humour makes me laugh out loud yet still creates a touching sense of poignancy that’s hard to beat. A joy to read from start to finish' Imogen Clark ‘A sweet book that tackles difficult issues’ My Weekly Expand reviews
