Cecelia Ahern has just announced her newest novel, and it is set to be the love story of the summer.
Readers were stunned to find out that the Irish author has penned a new novel, and you can get your hands on it in just a matter of weeks.
Love Unlocked will be published by Harper Collins this August.
The syopsis reads:
Melody has vowed never to fall in love.
Al is a hopeless romantic.
So, when they quite literally bump into each other, there’s no reason sparks should fly. But the world seems a little upside down lately.
A few weeks ago, Al ordered the removal of all the lovers’ padlocks from one of Dublin’s beautiful bridges. Ever since then, couples across the world have started splitting up.
Together, they decide to uncover what’s unraveling so many love stories. And, in the middle of solving everyone else’s heartbreak, can they unlock their own?
Cecelia Ahern has long been one of Ireland's most loved authors, and we cannot wait to read yet another one of her books this summer.
