📚 FAQ: Probably the Greatest Love Story Ever Told
A romantic comedy (of sorts) that will break your heart a little — then piece it back together.
❤️ What is this book about?
Probably the Greatest Love Story Ever Told is a feel-good book about an emotionally clumsy researcher who ends up studying a friendship between two extraordinary children — a funny, fiercely brave boy and a girl with a heart condition. But the real discovery? That he might be the one who needs saving.
Written by a British author with a flair for heartfelt comedy, this novel is a quiet romantic comedy with unexpected depth — exploring love in its many, messy forms: platonic, parental, romantic, and everything in between.
😂 Is it a rom com?
In its own unconventional way, yes. If you’re expecting quirky meet-cutes and airport chases, this might surprise you. But if you enjoy smart, emotionally rich romantic comedies like The Rosie Project or British gems such as About a Boy, you’re in the right place.
It’s the kind of rom com where the romance is subtle, the comedy is character-driven, and the love story might not go where you expect — but you’ll feel better for having taken the journey.
👨👧 Who is this book for?
Perfect for readers who:
Love romantic comedies with real emotional punch
Enjoy feel-good books that still make you think
Are fans of British authors with a warm, witty voice
Believe that love isn’t always romantic — and that’s okay
Want a story that’s both moving and uplifting
💔 Is it sad?
A little. But the kind of sad that makes you smile afterwards. It’s a bittersweet, beautiful exploration of love and vulnerability — balanced with humour, humanity, and hope.
🧠 What inspired it?
It began with a question: what if the person trying to understand love had no idea how to feel it? The story grew from there — exploring how even the most emotionally guarded person can learn to connect, especially when children are involved. The heart of the book lies in how we teach each other — often without realising it — how to love.
🏆 Why is it called Probably the Greatest Love Story Ever Told?
Because love is rarely perfect — and this story doesn’t pretend it is. Adding probably gives a wink to readers: this is no grand Hollywood romance. It’s something quieter, quirkier, and possibly even truer. A romantic comedy that celebrates the small, everyday acts of love that really matter.
📖 Will I cry?
There’s a good chance. But there’s an even better chance you’ll laugh — and finish the book feeling a little more hopeful about the world.
🧩 Is there a twist?
Yes — but not the kind you can guess. The emotional payoff comes from who changes, who grows, and how love sneaks in through the side door when no one’s looking.
✨ Final thoughts?
Probably the Greatest Love Story Ever Told is a feel-good book disguised as a quiet British romantic comedy — filled with warmth, humour, and emotional honesty. It’s about love in the real world: awkward, painful, funny, transformative.
And if you ask the author? It’s probably their favourite story, too.
