'An unforgettable story of love, friendship and the impact of trauma. Heartbreaking yet hopeful' JENNIE GODFREY *Don't miss the highly-anticipated new novel from Hattie Williams, author of BITTER SWEET - pre-order now!* "Pinky and Jono, Jono and Pinky, particles bound, moving together through time and space for a little while, always holding onto the light they saw on that otherwise awful day." Jono and Pinky are soulmates. Everyone says so. On the day they meet, the day before their fifteenth birthdays, time stands still. It is the start of an earth-shattering love story that will change their lives forever. Growing up together in the crumbling seaside town of Lasthaven, Jono and Pinky promise to stay together forever. But as the years go by, their dreams change, and promises are broken. Even so, it's impossible to forget the light they once saw in each other. How could they, when for so long, it was all that kept the darkness away. As they drift apart, then collide over and over again, they begin to wonder: how do you ever truly let go of the person who defined you? For everything ends. Everything... Searing, tender and heartbreakingly romantic, Light Years is a love story that transcends time and will leave you reeling. Perfect for fans of Normal People, One Day and Cleopatra & Frankenstein.
