'A beautiful novel about messy relationships, finding yourself and over-coming past trauma. I completely lost myself in this story' SARA JAFARI, author of The Mismatch

'[Sareeta] captures the finer details that normally slip through the cracks' PAULA AKPAN

Taylor is in love with Ryan.

She has been since the moment they met.

But Ryan is with Marcy - her best friend.

When everything fell apart around Taylor years before, Marcy was there for her. No matter how much Taylor wants Ryan, she refuses to lose Marcy's friendship. A master of burying her feelings, Taylor is determined to resist.

But the unspoken bond she and Ryan share isn't going away. And when Marcy leaves for a few weeks, just as Ryan moves into their shared flat, the tension grows to unbearable proportions.

As the line between right and wrong becomes blurred, Taylor will have to decide whether she can - or should - turn away from what might be the love of her life.

Tender and poignant, The Three of Us is a story about real life and true love, grief and joy, and the power of friendship.

'Sareeta Domingo is the voice of a generation of women wanting to see themselves and their lives featured in romance literature. Domingo effortlessly weaves stories that allow us to think about love, being in love and, most of all, desired. Her ability to craft characters lovingly and tenderly whilst ensuring her readers have the drama, stolen glances and sweaty embraces they crave makes her a permanent feature on my bookshelf' MELISSA CUMMINGS-QUARRY, The Black Girls' Book Club

'There's a certain mastery in the way Sareeta writes about human decisions, urges, disappointments and the like - she captures the finer details that normally slip through the cracks' PAULA AKPAN

Reviews
When twenty-something Taylor makes a tragic discovery one morning while walking her dog, all of her relationships, both present and past, are thrown into chaos. The Nearness of You is a quiet, thoughtful novel that looks at all the different types of love we experience in our lives and how they shape who we are. It tackles a difficult subject in a very sensitive way. I enjoyed this book very much
