Summary
If I Can't Have You by Charlotte Levin is an all-consuming novel about loneliness, obsession and how far we go for the ones we love.
My name is Constance Little.
This is my love story.
But this isn’t the way it was supposed to end.
After fleeing Manchester for London, Constance attempts to put past tragedies behind her and make a fresh start. When she embarks on a relationship with the new doctor at the medical practice where she works, she’s convinced she’s finally found the love and security she craves.
Then he ends it.
But if life has taught her anything, it’s that if you love someone, you should never let them go.
That's why for Constance Little, her obsession is only just beginning....

Much more than the book you are expecting
This book takes some really unexpected and poignant turns. It is beautifully written. I really empathised with Constance and felt her pain.
I can’t recommend this book enough, I devoured it in a couple of days.

Fantastic slow burn Psychological thriller
This is a very dark story, incredibly well written, great characterisation which details Constance's spiral into madness.
This was a re-read after initially reading as an ARC. The audiobook definitely enhanced the story, the narrator was great, especially with the Northern accent, it wasn't a monotonous drone like the narrator in Girl A, you really felt like Constance was telling you her story.
Can't believe this is the author's debut it was so amazing, especially with the little twists to the ending.Will be looking forward to Charlotte's next. Glad I did this re-read as it alerted me to her next book in March.

Loved every minute of it!
I couldn't stop listening to this captivating, funny, poignant, beautifully written story. I loved the frankness and quiet strength of the main character. And the narrator performing various accents was superb!

Loved it
I have listened to this book twice, for some people this may seem far fetched but I found many parts to be very relatable.
Great story

A-M-AZING
Loved every minute of this book - initially not warming to Constance however as the story progress and you learned more. You begin to understand her - will definitely recommend and will look about for more books by Charlotte Levin

Disappointed
Was looking forward to listening from the great reviews but was left disappointed. Didn’t like the main character or invest in her at all. An average story and plot. Saved for me by a good narrator.
