A chance nocturnal meeting leads to two insomniacs striking up a friendship that forces them to confront the problems they're avoiding not only to make them sleep but ultimately to allow them the capacity to love each other.
By day, Bec supports her boyfriend Matt with his incurable illness. Matt's always had a passion for life, and his illness has only made him more determined to make the most of everyday, ticking off bucket list items and making memories whilst he can. Bec's by his side supporting him and putting on a brave face, but by night, it's a different story.
Elliot hasn't slept properly since his footballing career came to an abrupt end before it had really begun. When the marriage he'd thrown himself into in a bid to create a new plan for his life falls apart, he finds himself struggling to cope. But after dropping off a parcel at a neighbour's flat after a nighttime run, he meets Bec, who he assumes is Molly who the parcel is addressed to, and she doesn't correct him. The next time Bec sees him running she asks him if she can go with him, and a nightly routine begins, striking up a friendship.
Before long they swap running for trips to all-night cafes, and chats into the small hours. As Bec begins to question her relationship with Matt, and battles the impending mortality of his illness, she finds herself seeking comfort with Elliot, who in turn, begins to open up himself to her too. Only the longer it goes on, the more she feels like she's lying to everyone, and soon Bec must face the reality of her life and what it is she really needs to move forward and find her own happiness.

If you are not satisfied with your order in any way, get in touch. We have an excellent customer service record and we will do our best to ensure you are pleased with your purchase.
📄 Exercise Your Right of Withdrawal
Under EU consumer law, you have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving your order, without giving a reason. To formally exercise this right, use the button below. This is a distinct function separate from our general returns process.
Your right to cancel
If you order online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason. This cooling-off period runs from the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last item in your order. To cancel, contact us at shop@chaptersbookstore.pro stating your order number and your wish to withdraw from the purchase. Once we've confirmed your cancellation, you have 14 days to send the goods back to us.
Condition of returned items
To be eligible for a refund, your item must be returned unworn, unused and unread, in its original packaging, and in the same condition you received it. You'll also need your receipt or proof of purchase. If your return is based on the item's condition on arrival, please include a photo so we can advise the best resolution.
Faulty or damaged items
Please inspect your order on arrival and contact us immediately if an item is defective, damaged, or not what you ordered. Separately from the 14-day cancellation right above, you're entitled to a repair, replacement or refund on faulty goods for up to two years from purchase, under standard consumer guarantee rights.

If you're unsure whether an issue qualifies, send us a photo and we'll be happy to advise.
