Description

Alex loves Mark. Mark loves Alex. But is love enough?

Since moving to London from the US, twenty-four-year-old Alex Sinclair seems to have it all: a coveted job writing for the theatre, supportive friends, and the man of her dreams gorgeous Irish actor, Mark Keegan. But in the year since the acclaimed debut of her play, Alex and Mark's lives have been turned upside down.

Thanks to his role on a smash-hit British TV show, Mark is catapulted to stardom. Alex couldn't be happier until her boyfriend's popularity and insatiable drive to succeed means they're apart more than they're together. Forced to share Mark with showbiz heavy-hitters, intrusive press, and unrelenting fangirls, Alex's hopes for a stable and committed life with him start to fade. Her struggles with panic attacks, career uncertainty, and Mark's increasingly worrisome behaviour make her wonder: how much more can she bend before she breaks?

A passionate tale of secrets, loss, and ambition, 'London, Can You Wait?' is the eagerly-awaited sequel to Middleton's debut novel, 'London Belongs to Me'.

Advance Praise

PRAISE FOR 'LONDON, CAN YOU WAIT?':

"A passionate, witty page-turner. Middleton has written a delightful and worldly novel with interesting characters and romantic twists and turns." --Renée Carlino, bestselling author of Swear on This Life and Before We Were Strangers

“Middleton has mastered chick lit…While the plot is driven by Alex’s love life, her career and personal growth (particularly her mental health) feature just as prominently. Alex’s friends…are fully fleshed out with arcs of their own. The settings are vibrant and detailed giving an accurate snapshot of life in cities like London, Dublin, and New York, complete with nods to the theatre scene and fandom culture. The narration is well-crafted, full of seemingly innocuous tidbits that later become significant, raunchy banter between friends, and the kind of sweet nothings that hopeless romantics die for. A winner for romance and chick lit fans as well as Anglophiles and geeks."-- Kirkus Reviews

"London, Can You Wait?, the second book in Middleton's London Belongs to Me series, is just as delightful as the first novel in the series. Protagonist Alex Sinclair is as funny, wonderful, and real as ever, with relatable issues that almost any reader can see in their own life …Middleton is an expert author who includes small details that may seem unimportant, but hold significance later on. There's also great dialogue between characters that is as natural as genuine conversation and the kind of moments that make chick lit books addicting—like sweet moments of love and passion between Alex and her man, Mark. It's a fantastic and truly wonderful page-turning read. TOP PICK! 4.5/5 stars." -- RT Book Reviews
