Happy Birthday!

The cover of Great Romances of the 20th Century by Robert Welbourn with a sticker saying 'available now' and the wording 'Growing up on a diet of romcoms has convinced Oliver he won't be okay until he is living happily ever after with The One. But what if The One doesn't feel the same way?'

Great Romances of the 20th Century is one today!

Happy birthday to my third baby!

Can you believe it? She’s been out in the world for one whole year.

Madness!

Here are some of the lovely things people have said about it:

"a bold and brave novel"

"sad and dark"

“the writing of this book is superb”

“this one deserves all the praise”

“the characters are flawed, imperfect, raw, real, and sometimes even unhinged, but it is a breath of fresh air from perfect stories that have happy endings”

“I couldn’t find the right words for how amazing this book is”

"I was expecting a sweet little romance, but this is SO much more than that"

"a compelling read and Welbourn, with his usual sharp style and crisp prose, has put together a fantastic and timely novel"

“another brilliant book by Welbourn”

Buy Great Romances

Woof, talk about a lot of love! Honestly, the reception to the novel has been superb, I’ve been overwhelmed with how much praise its received over the last 12 months.

Have you read it?

Good, good - yes is the correct answer.

If you’re some sort of oddball who hasn’t, however, it’s available now.

I call it Great Romances for short; I tried to use its acronym but GROTTC just felt a bit…grotty.
