The Seat Left Empty: Love, Loss & Matchday in L4
A heartwarming contemporary romance about love, grief, friendship, and football - set in the final season at Goodison Park.
Millie has spent her life in the stands at Everton, sharing every cheer, groan, and halftime chip barm with her dad. Now he’s gone, and the seat beside her is empty… until Jamie takes it.
He’s quiet, awkward, and full of unexpected charm - the kind of man who knows Bovril is sacred on matchday and that giving someone the last Rolo is an act of commitment. Between them grows an unlikely connection, fuelled by banter, shared rituals, and the roar of the Gwladys Street End.
With her best friend Jax - part comic relief, part matchmaker - egging them on, Millie and Jamie navigate their own heartbreaks, slow-burn attraction, and the bittersweet countdown to Goodison’s final game.
Perfect for fans of contemporary romance, slow-burn love stories, women’s fiction, and character-driven novels with humour and heart, The Seat Left Empty blends laugh-out-loud Scouse wit with tender moments that will stay with you long after the final whistle.
If you loved One Day, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, or Normal People - and you’ve ever loved a place as much as a person - this book will be your next favourite read.
