Praise for Based on a Love Story
“The perfect summer novel! Based on a Love Story is as romantic as it is adventure-filled, transporting readers to England and Greece, Paris and San Francisco. The story of Jonah and Jake—past and present—is utterly absorbing and poignant and filled with characters so real and loveable, they felt like my own best friends.”
—Amy Poeppel, author of Far And Away and The Sweet Spot
“Based on a Love Story swept me away from the very first page. Beautifully written and brimming with heart, it transports readers from Oxford to Paris to Crete and San Francisco with such vivid detail you’ll feel as though you’ve traveled there yourself. I fell in love with the settings, the unforgettable characters, and this deeply moving story of love and second chances. An absolute must-read, whether you’re packing for the beach, boarding a plane, or simply dreaming of faraway places from the comfort of home.”
