Brought to you by Penguin.

The addictive new book from the author behind the hit film and novel The Idea of You

When Cecilia Chen finds herself in an accident shortly after moving to Los Angeles with her husband and two children, she’s shocked to recognise the woman she’s collided with as Anouk Ferrand.

The two women last saw one another other twenty years ago, on a photo shoot in Mexico in 1996, when Cecilia was a photographer’s assistant, and Anouk an unknown model on the precipice of fame.

Cecilia doesn't know if Anouk even remembers those few days on the coast. But she has never forgotten them. Now, their connection reignites into an explosive affair – and as their lives become entangled, Cecilia finds herself torn between protecting what she most loves, and pursuing what she most desires.

Reseñas de la Crítica

An illicit romance. The sins of the fashion world. A mysterious past. With Crash Into Me, Robinne Lee weaves a sensual, captivating story that’s so deliciously propulsive, I pushed “pause” on my entire life to read it. Such elegant writing! Robinne Lee has created magic, once again (Tia Williams, New York Times bestselling author of The Missed Connection)

I absolutely loved this beautifully written book which mixes thoughts about race, class, beauty, art and relationships with an edge of your seat story about love, betrayal, secrets, and learning to inhabit your own self. It felt like a book for grown ups - thought-provoking and compelling. Robinne Lee effortlessly creates layers that draw you in while also giving an insight into the worlds of Hollywood, French cinema, art exhibitions and modelling, all set against the context of an era in which society is facing some uncomfortable truths. I was gripped (Ellie Levenson, author of Room 706)

I didn't think I'd love any book as much as The Idea of You, but this is a devastatingly good follow-up. Rarely does a novel move with such intoxicating confidence - at once sensual and sharp, every sentence gliding with purpose. The language shimmers, the pace refuses to loosen its grip. A gorgeously written, utterly propulsive read. (Laura Jane Williams, bestselling author of Our Stop)
