I Love You, I Love You, I Love You

Laura Dockrill is an award-winning writer from Brixton. Her writing for children and young adults has been shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, the Carnegie Medal and the YA Book Prize, and she has been named a ‘Top 10 Literary Talent’ by The Times and a ‘Top 20 Hot Face to Watch’ by Elle magazine. Laura was one of the judging panel of the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2024.I Love You, I Love You, I Love You is Laura’s first novel for adults. Based on her own lived experience, it is the ultimate love letter to her partner Hugo. It draws on first love, truelove, from-a-distance-for-pretty-much-her-entire-life love (I know, talk about desperate…), but don’t worry, she ended up marrying him.

‘Laura writes fiction like the poet that she is. No line wasted, every word perfectly placed. The kind of relatable attention to detail that will have you wondering if she stole your teenage diaries and rewrote them with clever insights and laugh out loud humour… I loved it, I loved it, I loved it!’ DAWN O’PORTER
