Pre-order THE NEXT CHAPTER, the brilliant new novel coming in Summer 2025 from Rebecca Ryan.

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?

FictionRomance

Rebecca Ryan is the author of My (extra)Ordinary Life, The Philosophy of Love and The Next Chapter, although she can’t quite believe that she’s written three whole books. She left a career in teaching to pursue writing full time, and now mostly spends her days making up stories, replying to emails from her children’s school, or killing off brain cells watching reels on Instagram. Rebecca lives in Bradford with her three children, no small number of notebooks and an expansive collection of scatter cushions. And she wouldn’t have it any other way.

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
