Thanks to the lovely Suzana at Bookalicious Ramblings, we now have the cover for Alexandra Potter’s new novel You’re The One That I Don’t Want, which is due out on 5th August. Alexandra posted it on her website, and I think it’s lovely, and it ties in with her older covers too. Here’s the synopsis again:

“What if you found your soulmate…
and then discovered you couldn’t lose him?

When Lucy meets Nate aged 18, it is love at first sight. As far as she’s concerned, he’s The One. Caught up in the whirlwind of first love, they kiss under the Bridge of Sighs in Venice at sunset and – according to the legend – are tied together indefinitely.

But ten years later, they’ve almost forgotten about each other. That is, until fate starts to bring them together. Again. And again. And again. It doesn’t seem as wonderful as it had before, but if Nate’s not The One – then why on earth is it proving so hard to break up with him?

A funny and magical romantic comedy about what happens when every girl’s dream of finding her dream man comes very true indeed…”

Heather Hamilton wishes for a lot of things: that she could get a seat on the tube, that she could meet a great man and that she could eat a bag of maltesers without gaining a stone in weight. Typical small wishes that we wish for every day.

Her wishes never come true until one day Heather buys some heather (irony!) from a gypsy and suddenly everything Heather wishes for seems to be coming true. She gets a flatmate, she loses 5lbs, she even gets a fab boyfriend.

Is it really magic?

If only you knew then what you know now… Imagine if you could go back ten years and meet your younger self – would you recognise her? And what advice would you give?

Wear sunscreen!
Back away from those PVC trousers?
DON’T give that idiot your phone number?
Lemon juice won’t bleach your hair – it just attracts wasps…
He’s the one - don’t let him go!

For Charlotte Merryweather, there’s no need to imagine. She’s about to find out for real. With surprising consequences… (more…)
