Three women. Three dates. One missing man…



‘Ingenious, heartwarming and romantic’ SOPHIE KINSELLA

‘Surprising and deeply satisfying’ EMILY HENRY

8.52 a.m. Siobhan’s looking forward to her date with Joseph. Breakfast on Valentine’s Day surely means something … so where is he?

2.43 p.m. Miranda’s hoping that a Valentine’s Day lunch with Carter will be the perfect way to celebrate her new job. But why hasn’t he shown up?

6.30 p.m.
Joseph Carter agreed to be Jane’s fake boyfriend at a dreaded engagement party tonight. But he’s not here…

Meet Joseph Carter. That is, if you can find him.

An unexpected love story, The No-Show is an utterly extraordinary tear-jearker of a book, a heart-breaking and joyful novel about dating, and waiting, and the ways love can find us.

‘It will break your heart in a million different ways’ LOUISE O’NEILL

Beth O'Leary is that rare, one-in-a-million talent who can make you laugh, swoon, cry and ache all in the same book and The No-Show is her most moving yet. O'Leary's wit, charm and heart are on full, fantastic display in this cosy, surprising and deeply satisfying novel. I couldn't possibly love it more

Daily Mail
Her fourth book is another gripping page-turner but with a more ambitious concept than her earlier novels . . . A superb rom-com with a heart wrenching twist
Daily Express
Beth O'Leary's latest novel opens with three women - Siobhan, Miranda and Jane - who have all been stood up on Valentine's Day by the same man. The question is, why? The trio try to work out what has happened to the elusive Joseph Carter - and their willingness to forgive him at first feels frustrating. But as the story unfolds, the lives of the main players draw the reader in until the tale builds to its unexpected, but ultimately satisfying, ending.
