Summary
'I implore you to read (or listen to) it' - Marian Keyes, author of Again, Rachel
An all-consuming story of loneliness, obsession and how far we go for the ones we love, If I Can't Have You is the debut novel by Charlotte Levin.
After fleeing Manchester for London, Constance Little 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.

So captivating
Barely listen to audio books as I feel most narrators can’t capture the writers essence properly but this book and narrator were extremely captivating. Listening to the whole book in a day. Brilliant story line and magnificent delivery from the reader. Very well done.

Creepy, sad and great
I loved this book - I felt really sorry for Constance but found her very disturbing at the same time. Really liked the narrator - she bought the characters to life very well. The ending was good too - loved the final words on snow!
