If I Can't Have You
'One of the best books I've ever read' - Ruth Jones * 'This is superb . . . and compulsive and disturbing and very well done indeed' - Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange
If I Can't Have You by Charlotte Levin is an all-consuming novel about loneliness, obsession and how far we go for the ones we love.
My name is Constance Little. This is my love story. But this isn't the way it was supposed to end.
After fleeing Manchester for London, Constance attempts to put past tragedies behind her and make a fresh start. When she embarks on a relationship with the new doctor at the medical practice where she works, she's convinced she's finally found the love and security she craves.
Then he ends it. But if life has taught her anything, it's that if you love someone, you should never let them go. That's why for Constance Little, her obsession is only just beginning . . .
