Synopsis

*One of Time’s 50 Best Romance Novels to Read Right Now*

“Summer’s most romantic read.” —Glamour

A captivating and “simply magical” (New York Post) international bestseller that evokes the essence of romance and how far one will go for the one they love—the inspiration for the film Just Like Heaven starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo.

What do you do when you find a stranger in your closet, particularly when she's surprised that you can even see her—and she can disappear and reappear at whim? What if she then tells you that her body is actually in a coma on the other side of town? Should you have her see a psychiatrist or should you consult one yourself? Or do you take a chance and believe in her, and allow yourself to be swept up in an extraordinary adventure?

This is the beginning of the dilemma Arthur, a young San Francisco architect, is facing when he discovers Lauren in his apartment. Arthur is the only man who can share Lauren's secret, the only one who can see her, hear her, and talk to her when no one else so much as senses her presence. So when doctors prepare to end Lauren's physical care—which would destroy the magical bond she and Arthur cherish—he must find a way to save her. For, after all, it is only her love that can save him.

A heartwarming and moving love story that's impossible to forget, If Only It Were True is an adventure that is by turns breathtaking and hilarious, and a captivating love story that celebrates our boundless capacity to believe.

Goodreads review by Annie on October 25, 2020

I was so delighted when I discovered the movie was inspired by a book! I really thought the film was so sweet, such a feel-good kind of chick flick. The book however, is a whole lot better. This is the kind of story that makes you believe in magic. It makes you believe that two people can be fated to......more

There is a certain amount of syrup in this story, but I've liked it. We meet the human kindness (and the sharp dialogue...) of Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, the fine irony of Jeffrey Archer and a character, detective Pilguez, very similar to Simenon's Maigret. So, at least three of my favorite authors.........more
