About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

One couple. One past. A million tomorrows. Adam and Jules have been married for 25 years when they discover a time machine in their shed - can it bring back their romantic spark? Or will it unravel everything?

Meet Adam and Jules - they're stuck in a rut and their future looks, well, boring.

Then Adam stumbles across a pile of old mixtapes he and Jules made for each other when they were young and falling in love. He dusts off his vintage stereo, inserts one of the cassettes, presses play…and the unbelievable happens.

With the power to travel back in time, he and Jules can revisit pivotal moments in their pasts. Is this the key to getting their sparkle back? They embark on an epic hunt through the multiverse for their perfect love story. But as they visit the past, they realise that time travel could be as dangerous as it is addictive, because the temptation to change just a few tiny things is irresistible.

As the consequences start to spiral out of control, can they find a way back to their messy, imperfect, glorious real life? Or will they lose each other forever?

Funny, heart-warming and honest, You & Me & You & Me & You & Me is a time travel rom-com and instant feel-good classic.

Critic reviews

A grown-up romance that captures the beauty of not only finding your person but holding on to them. Throw in some time travel, great music, and ’90s nostalgia, and you have an unforgettable read. I loved this book (Laurie Gilmore, author of Sunday Times Bestseller, PUMPKIN SPICE CAFÉ)
You & Me & You & Me & You & Me serves up a heart-warming insight into love after your happily ever after. I loved the sci-fi take on an everyday love that’s worth fighting for (Gillian Anderson)
Witty, relatable, and packed full of nostalgia - I can’t think of two better authors to project us back in time to the 90s. Readers new and old will find a lot to love about this story (Paige Toon, Sunday Times bestselling author of WHAT IF I NEVER GET OVER YOU)
Beneath its clever construct and the romp of likeable people and whipsmart dialogue, lie layers and layers of emotional intelligence… it’s funny, it’s moving and it asks questions we all have: if we could stop time and turn back the clocks what would we do differently? (Freya North)
If you read just one book this year, read this one — a time bending, high concept love story full of nostalgia and “what ifs”— I fell in love with these characters from the first page. One of the most original and moving love stories I’ve read (Sophie Cousens, bestselling author of IS SHE REALLY GOING OUT WITH HIM?)
The best treat... funny, heart-wrenching, clever, thought provoking (Jenny Colgan)
Warm, witty and thought provoking, You & Me & You & Me & You & Me is exactly the Gen X, Back To The Future-style romp we’ve all been waiting for! (Mike Gayle)
I loved this book. I don’t know when I’ve been more invested in a fictional relationship or felt so deeply the hopes and failures of people I’ll never meet. It’s a brilliant and heartfelt novel about how the mundane decisions of family life shape our futures. A perfect five star read (Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author of IT'S A LOVE STORY)
If you’ve ever thought that music IS time travel… and you love nostalgia and/or quantum mechanics, then this is the love story for you. From the first time they press play and rewind through the decades you’re gripped and invested and wishing your dusty old tape deck would do the same. If stories could be DJ-ed, this would be a joyful mash-up of One Day, High Fidelity and Sliding Doors… A wonderful love letter to analogue times, to true love, and to feeling homesick for the past. Until of course we learn that time - like love - isn’t linear. This is a beautiful novel which will stay with you long after the last paragraph has faded out. (Lorelei Mathias)
A stunning time travel romance…Funny, tender, bittersweet, and ultimately affirming…a showstopping tale about learning to embrace imperfection
All stars

I absolutely loved this — five stars without hesitation. It’s hilarious, sharp, original and unexpectedly thought-provoking. The music references were genius, adding a visceral energy that made the whole story hum.

The Audible production is outstanding — completely immersive and elevates the book even further. I’m already planning a re-listen. Don’t miss this one.

Immersive, Thought-Provoking, and So Funny!
