Take a Chance on Me

Evie is heartbroken and betrayed when a video of her confronting her cheating ex boyfriend goes viral, so what's a girl to do? Flee to London for the summer, of course! Evie loves everything about London -- the double decker buses, afternoon tea, history around every corner. Everything that is but having to stay with the person who's hurt her most of all -- her father.

Desperate for a distraction from their contentious relationship, Evie spends her days wandering the historic streets . . . where as though fate is intervening, she keeps meeting a charming and beautiful British busker named Aiden.

Evie doesn't want to open herself up again, but Aiden is funny, kind, and he never treats Evie like she's too much. He may just be worth taking a chance on . . . if Evie can keep her past from getting in the way of her future.

Internationally bestselling author Elizabeth Eulberg pens an unforgettable journey that's heartwarming, hilarious, and heavy on both romance and jetlag.

Take a Chance on Me comes out on March 4, 2025. Click here to find or pre-order from an independent bookstore near you. Or you can pre-order from Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

BEHIND THE STORY

I love romcoms. I love the young adult books I’ve written. If you’re wondering why on earth it took me so long to get back to books like Better Off Friends, well, I started writing Take a Chance on Me back in 2018. I was at a writing retreat in England and just finished the edits on the book and had a few days left. I knew I wanted to write a fun love story that took place in London. I knew the girl had a difficult relationship with her father, who is British. I knew she was going to meet a busker. And I just started to write it. Usually I know more when I sit down to write, but I started and let the story take shape. There were some surprises and heartache for myself and the characters along the way.

If you’re now curious as to why it’s taken over five years for it to come out. Well, a few things: I had other books on deadline, I had some major issues with my literary representation, and someone told me that my YA career was over (this goes to the issues with my representation). But I never gave up on this story. The market went through some issues of its own during the pandemic, but I always had this book at the back of my mind. After living in London for a couple years and devouring romcoms, I decided it was time to…well take a chance on getting this book published.

And here we are! I hope the readers that enjoyed The Lonely Hearts Club and Prom & Prejudice haven’t forgotten about me, but also looking forward to meeting new readers. Get ready to swoon. Oh, and maybe have a hanky ready.
