My Lover's Lover by Maggie O'Farrell

A young woman plunges into a whirlwind romance and moves into her new lover’s loft, only to find her days dominated by the lingering presence of his missing ex, whose belongings and aura still claim the space. Unease grows into obsession as she digs for answers, while a parallel narrative reveals the ex’s harrowing experience of manipulation and betrayal. Their entwined stories converge to expose how desire, secrecy, and self-deception can warp love into something dangerous.
