Niche book recommendations

[Amazonmulu]

Can anyone please recommend books about people that never quite got together romantically / sliding doors type scenarios? 🙈

You could try The Midnight Library by Matt Haigh. It’s about a woman who through a magic library chooses alternate versions of her own life to live in, one of which is with a man she was attracted to but didn’t have the courage to follow through with to a date.

The Narrow Road to the Deep North is a very good book, it’s a harrowing read at one point so not lightweight feel good but has a storyline about a man and woman who through circumstance (WW2 and her marriage) don’t end up together.

The Time Traveller's Wife has this vibe

Kate Atkinson… Life after Life.

You may like 'one day' by David Nicholls

Falling for Christmas,

The Post-Birthday World
by Lionel Shriver

brilliant book!

The Remains of the Day

This is a brilliant book. However, reading it will turn you into an arsehole for at least two weeks. It is bleak and it makes you see the world bleakly and behave like a misanthropic twat. Or maybe that's just me. But be warned!
