Who's playing who?

The Isle of Ormer: population 500, soon to be 501.

Charlie Jones has landed on the island to embark on her brand new life. As the manager at Ormer's only farm shop, this job will be her perfect next chapter. Good riddance to the mainland, this is it - fresh air, and a clean slate.

Except there is one small issue ...

Charlie Jones has also just arrived on the Isle of Ormer, to embark on his brand new life. His job at the farm shop feels like fate, and could not have come at a better moment. On Ormer, Charlie has promised himself he'll escape old friends, bad habits and heartbreak.

This second chance is the best thing that could have happened to Charlie . . . and Charlie.

That is, until they are introduced . . .

The Name Game is the brand new love story from the multi-million copy bestselling author of The Flatshare and Swept Away, about second chances, new beginnings and about love finding us in the most secluded of places.

Critic Reviews

O'Leary at her surprising and heart-stopping best. This book has it all. A wild meet-cute, a moody and autumnal setting [and] the best twist you'll read all year
So gorgeously life-affirming and heart-warming. I loved it so much, just a complete joy
A fabulous, playful, twisty ride - another clever, fresh take on "boy meets girl" from O'Leary that ticks every box. She always does that something extra and, when I'm in the mood for dreamy romance, her books top my list, every time
Beth O'Leary crafts novels with such wit, heart and truth
Beth O'Leary is that rare, one-in-a-million talent who can make you laugh, swoon, cry and ache all in the same book
Fiendishly gripping and searingly romantic, this edge-of-your-seat, will-they-won't they love story harbours a series of twists that should come with their own health warning. I binge-read this wonderful book in hours and had many, many laughs along the way
I tumbled head over heels into this novel, falling for Beth's gorgeous cast of characters, her whip-smart plotting, and the genius way she has of making her readers care, cry, and laugh alongside her protagonists. The Name Game is a clever, compelling, and immersive love story that will stay with you long after you've finished the final page.
Playful, twisty and achingly raw
