Author

Lily King

Lily King is author of the novel, Heart the Lover (Grove Press).

From the New York Times bestselling author of Writers & Lovers comes this intimate novel of desire, friendship, and the lasting impact of first love.

In the fall of her senior year of college, our narrator meets Sam and Yash. She soon finds herself at the center of a charged and intricate triangle. As graduation comes and goes, choices made will alter these three lives forever.

Decades later when those shattering events seem comfortably behind her, a surprise visit and unexpected news brings the past crashing into the present.

“Overflows with brilliance and heart.” –Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Tomorrow
