Beth O'Leary is an internationally bestselling author whose novels have been translated into more than thirty languages. Her debut, The Flatshare, sold over a million copies and is now a major TV series. Her subsequent novels The Switch and The Road Trip were instant Sunday Times bestsellers. Beth writes her books in the English countryside with a very badly behaved golden retriever for company. If she's not at her desk, you'll usually find her curled up somewhere with a book, a cup of tea, and several woolly jumpers (whatever the weather).

"At once playful, twisty, and achingly raw, The Name Game is Beth O'Leary at her brilliant best. I fell so hard for this book, I know I'll read it again."--New York Times bestselling author Annabel Monaghan

"The Name Game is O'Leary at her surprising and heart-stopping best. This book has it all. A wild meet-cute, a moody and autumnal setting, but what sets O'Leary apart from other writers of her genre is her ability to handle the best twist you'll read all year."--New York Times bestselling author Gillian McAllister

"So gorgeously life-affirming and heartwarming. I loved it so much, just a complete joy."--Paige Toon, USA Today bestselling author of What If I Never Get Over You

"A fabulous, playful, twisty ride--another clever, fresh take on 'boy meets girl' from O'Leary that ticks every box. She always does that something extra, and when I'm in the mood for dreamy romance, her books top my list every time."--Caroline Hulse, critically acclaimed author of Reasonable People
