Synopsis

All the best parts of an English summer lie ahead the morning that Jude is knocked off his bike. His future hanging there, out of reach, until everything just – disappears.

Nothing that bad has ever happened to Jem until her boyfriend dies suddenly and life changes in an instant. Matters go from bad to worse at Jude’s funeral when she realises she barely knew him at all. How are you supposed to move on from something, when it’s no longer clear exactly what you lost?

Harry never imagined he’d outlive his best friend. Jude had always been there, like one of Harry’s vital organs, living outside his body. But it seems Harry’s subconscious doesn’t plan on letting Jude go, sporadically conjuring an imaginary but no less intense version – now living rent-free in Harry’s head, instead of his flat.

Over the next five years, haunted by their loss and love for the same person, Jem and Harry are bound by emotions and experiences only the other can understand. And they’re about to discover whether you can really have more than one great love of your life… Funny and heartbreaking in equal measure, Any Day Now is an unforgettable modern love story and an uplifting exploration of friendship, grief and second chances.
