Publisher's summary

A poignant and heartwarming novel about friendship, ghosting, and searching for answers to life’s mysteries.

When Mackenzie, Sunna, and Maude move into a converted rental house, they are strangers with only one thing in common - important people in their lives have “ghosted” them. Mackenzie’s sister, Sunna’s best friend, and Maude’s fiancé - all gone with no explanation.

So when a mangled, near-indecipherable letter arrives in their shared mailbox - hinting at long-awaited answers - each tenant assumes it’s for her. The mismatched trio decides to stake out the coffee shop named in the letter - the only clue they have - and in the process, a bizarre kinship forms. But the more they learn about each other, the more questions (and suspicions) they begin to have. All the while, creepy sounds and strange happenings around the property suggest that the ghosts from their pasts might not be all that’s haunting them....

Will any of the housemates find the closure they are looking for? Or are some doors meant to remain closed?

Quirky, humorous, and utterly original, Sorry I Missed You is the perfect listen for anyone who has ever felt haunted by their past (or by anything else).

Worth the buy!

This book is well written and packs a lot of emotion into a somewhat complex storyline. The ending may not be what people expect, but it felt right for the characters. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the voiced the voice narrator used for some of the characters. She made one of the main females sound like a man and I wasn’t a fan. Definitely worth the buy!

funny

I liked it! the situations are described in a creative and funny way. narration is good too.

Great fun!

What a wonderful, well crafted story! I enjoyed every minute of it! Good ending.

Good reading

I really like the way the author made life lessons in love and positive self image with dry humor and pointedly funny characters. Very enjoyable.

Loved it!

Loved everything about this book. It was just fun. Loved the story line and characters. A nice variation to my usual reads. The reader was great. Loved the voices. They matched the personalities perfectly. Highly recommended for a fun, lighthearted read with some good insights into remedying past relationships!

Nice change of pace

Sweet exploration of dealing with our individual baggage with the help of unexpected friends. I enjoyed the narrator.

Don't miss this great book!

Yes, a lame headline for this really good book. I was finished with violent murders and the hearts and flowers books. I needed something with a strong story line, interesting characters, and a couple of laughs. After four misses, I got that and way more than a couple of laughs with "Sorry I Missed You". The plot was really good. I couldn't really tell which way somethings were going to go. It was good to have some thoughts to ponder for later and how to have conversations that are hard. It was a lighthearted, funny, yet serious book. Bravo to you, Suzy Krause.

A nod to the narrator. She did an excellent job of separating the different characters and making the story flow.

Entralling!

I could not stop listening! This story and the performance are excellent. I highly recommended it.

Good imagination

Almost gave up on the book! It picked up as the characters bonded! Would recommend!

Easy listen

The story is about 3 women who live in the same house in different apartments and their relationship and how their intertwined. It wasn't the best book that I listen to this summer, but it was a great 1 to finish the summer with.

The narrator's portrail of Maude is so bad that it's absolutely perfect. If you listen to the story, you'll understand what I mean.
