Nothing Good Happens After 2AM

Behind the unmarked door of Love and Death, a tiny speakeasy in East London, Robbie Saunders and El Tippett are cocktail-making stars on the rise.

As London's bar scene explodes around them, Robbie and El circle each other, connected by passion and competitive spirit. From Hackney to Soho in the small hours, as the city transforms itself, nothing – and no one – has ever felt so alive.

But when it all comes crashing down, something indefinable keeps drawing Robbie and El back into each other's orbit. Over the years that follow, in bars around the world, one unexpected, ill-advised, and utterly glorious late night after another, can they put aside professional betrayals to build something brand new?

'A dream of a book – a beautiful and unusual love story, but also an exploration of what truly matters in life' Jane Casey

'An epic love story across decades, I fell in love with El and Robbie from the off, addicted to their world ... Utterly absorbing, a book to rival Taylor Jenkins Reid' Sam Holland
