I Know How This Ends

I Know How This Ends by Holly Smale Pre-Order August 12th 2025

In I Know How This Ends by Holly Smale—perfect for fans of In Five Years and Maybe Next Time—one woman must decide whether love is worth the heartbreak when she sees exactly how it will all fall apart.

Margot Weyward has everything planned. At 35, she’s got a successful career, loyal friends, a chic London flat, and a wardrobe built for the long haul—including the handbag of her dreams. Her life is built around logic, security, and preparing for the future. The only thing missing? A man who meets her impeccably high standards—someone dependable, enduring… a "keeper."

Enter Henry. Charming, spontaneous, funny—and absolutely not what Margot had in mind. He’s broke, chaotic, and infuriatingly irresistible. Against her better judgment, she falls for him. Hard.

But just as their relationship begins to bloom, the visions start. Uninvited glimpses into her own future with Henry—some filled with joy, others with undeniable pain. As the visions become clearer and more disturbing, Margot faces an impossible choice: walk away before the heartbreak arrives, or stay and risk everything for love she knows won’t last.

Smart, heart-wrenching, and profoundly romantic, I Know How This Ends is a thought-provoking exploration of time, love, and the courage to live in the moment—even when you know how the story ends.
