Laurie and Pete should never have met.
But fate has pushed them together for a reason.
Six months ago, on the same night, Laurie and Pete both lost their partners.
Struggling to manage the grief, they join the same counselling group – and meet each other.
From their sadness, Pete and Laurie find happiness growing and they sense a fresh new beginning.
Except, the more they talk, the more they begin to spot the strange parallels in their stories.
Then Pete discovers a truth that changes everything.
But, as surely as a compass points north, some people cannot be kept apart.
My One True North is a story of friendship and what love means, of secrets uncovered, teashops on corners and the northern lights.

Our Review
I have never wished for a Happy Ever After more than I did for Laurie and Pete. They were two lost souls floating around in a world they didn’t know if they fitted in anymore. Both of them heartbroken and not knowing which way to turn.
My One True North encapsulates everything you could ever want in a love story in a way that only Milly Johnson can do. Places and characters from my other favourite books of hers made themselves known and I loved my trip back to the Teashop on the corner.
Milly writes as though she’s an artist painting a landscape, every sentence reveals another piece of the masterpiece until you can see the whole scene vividly in front of you. I was torn between wanting to devour every word of this book in one go and limiting myself because I never wanted it to end. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I think Milly Johnson is a genius for the way she puts words together, a true wordsmith. This book will play on every emotion you’ve got, heart-breaking, uplifting and sprinkled with Milly’s humour and that little bit of magic.
Apart from the main characters the secondary characters bring about so much love and warmth and humour and I laughed out loud on numerous occasions.
My One True North is a powerful love story written by one amazing woman who has poured her heart out onto these pages.
