The brand new novel from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of The Flatshare and Swept Away.

A fresh start is waiting for Charlie Jones.

But another Charlie Jones wants it too...

The Isle of Ormer: population 500, soon to be 501.

Charlie Jones has landed on the island to embark on her brand new life. As the manager at Ormer's only farm shop, this job will be her perfect next chapter. Good riddance to the mainland, this is it - fresh air, and a clean slate.

Except there is one small issue ...

Charlie Jones has also just arrived on the Isle of Ormer, to embark on his brand new life. His job at the farm shop feels like fate, and could not have come at a better moment. On Ormer, Charlie has promised himself he'll escape old friends, bad habits and heartbreak.

This second chance is the best thing that could have happened to Charlie . . . and Charlie.

That is, until they are introduced . . .

The Name Game is the brand new love story from the multi-million copy bestselling author of The Flatshare and Swept Away, about second chances becoming new beginnings and about love finding us in the most secluded of places.

I tumbled head over heels into this novel, falling for Beth's gorgeous cast of characters, her whip-smart plotting, and the genius way she has of making her readers care, cry, and laugh alongside her protagonists.
