A GOOD HOUSEKEEPING GOOD BOOKS SPRING COLLECTION PICK

'I LOVED this addictive, beautifully written novel about romance, life and immortality.'
DAILY MAIL

'I loved it so much I wanted it to go on forever'
FERN BRADY

'A timeless romance and a bold, inventive novel'
ELA LEE

'Dazzling: a cold hard reckoning with reality; a constantly surprising fear of imagination, philosophy, humanity, warmth and love'
JESSICA STANLEY


This is the greatest romance you will ever listen without the happily ever after.

Yuki and Sam are soulmates.
They are destined to spend the rest of their lives together.
They are supposed to love one another, forever.

But when a miracle drug is released which can extend a human's life indefinitely, Sam chooses to live forever, instead of loving Yuki forever - and the world they know is spun inside out.

WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER plunges into a parallel universe where forever is on sale to the highest bidder. What comes next is a world-building epic narrated by an intersecting cast of characters that will drive you to the edge of reality and leave you to answer biggest questions of all: What is life without death? What is life without love?

This is a novel of ideas, but one which wears its intelligence lightly. In anyone else’s hands this subject matter could have been lofty, preachy, or dry but Thomas Uose’s writing is none of those things. It is witty, relatable, shrewd, thought-provoking and compelling. Hard to believe this is a debut. Would thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful, moving, thought-provoking
