I Love You, I Love You, I Love You

Laura Dockrill is a poet and illustrator from South London. A graduate of The Brit School of Performing Arts, twenty-two year old Laura was named one of the top ten literary stars of 2008 according to The Times and voted Elle's top twenty faces to look out for in 2009. Her sassy and unique way with words has captivated audiences at gigs and festivals everywhere. Laura has created artwork for Kate Nash and everything from chocolate wrappers to condom tins.

'Laura writes fiction like the poet that she is. No line wasted, every word perfectly placed. The kind of relatable attention to detail that will have you wondering if she stole your teenage diaries and rewrote them with clever insights and laugh out loud humour. I'm not sure I've read a book so perfectly observed. It's every woman's story of the highs and lows of falling in love, perseverance and self preservation. It will have you reaching for your phone to check in on the one that got away, just in case there is a chance. It's a reminder that True Love can really exist. It's a real skill to create a character who is as wild as she is sensible, as chaotic as she is together, as safe as she is dangerous. Ella was perfectly drawn, I rooted for her the whole way. I've been waiting for a book to make me laugh this much. I loved it, I loved it, I loved it! Laura is going to take adult fiction by storm, I can't wait to see what comes next.'

MATT HAIG

'An absolutely gorgeous book. So visceral, nostalgic, mucky, heartbreaking and bittersweet. Laura captures that weird pocket of time so perfectly: before smartphones, MySpace and calling your mates on the house phone and shag bands and Green Day and all those insecurities and the sharpness of every new experience and feeling. Just DELICIOUS.'

KIRSTY CAPES

'It's a transporting, technicolour plunge into first, and enduring, love. As ever, Laura Dockrill's voice is entirely her own. She writes from the inside out and it's beautiful.'

SOPHIE DAHL

'A nostalgic journey through the highs and lows of first love.'
