You & Me & You & Me & You & Me comes exactly twenty-five years after the publication of real-life couple Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Rees' first co-written novel, the number one Sunday Times bestseller, Come Together, which was translated into twenty-seven languages and made into a film by Working Title. Josie and Emlyn have continued to write both separately and together and live with their kids and dog by Brighton beach, but sadly they haven't discovered a hole in the space time continuum in their garden shed - or at least not yet.
