A Novel

“I love a good will-they-or-won’t-they romance, and this one turned out to be unexpectedly deep, tackling really important issues that impact so many.”—New York Times bestselling author Emily Giffin on the TODAY show

Is it possible to love someone you've never met? A young woman finds out in this sweeping will-they-or-won't-they love story that begins with a chance wrong number dial. . . .

When Hannah picks up a call from an unknown number, she thinks nothing of it—it’s just an easygoing American named Davey who misdialed her while calling into a job interview. And when Hannah wishes him luck after clearing up the confusion, she never actually expects to hear from him again.

Then she gets a text saying he got the job and he’ll be moving to London, and she can’t help but smile. Soon their texts become phone calls that turn into video calls, and their friendship becomes a relationship they can’t wait to start in earnest once Davey lands in London in a month’s time.

But when Hannah goes to meet him at the airport, Davey isn’t there—and the reason why changes both of their lives in an instant. With their future together suddenly so uncertain, they don’t know what to do but try to move on from each other.

Though their chance at love seems lost forever, neither is never far from the other’s thoughts. Will fate intervene once more to bring the two together, or will Davey always be the man that Hannah never met?

The sweetest love story

Love, love, love this incredible story of perseverance, sacrifice & true love. A tender reminder that you really never know what’s in store for you!!!

Must read/listen

I don’t know how I found this book, but I am so happy I did! Beautifully written and beautifully narrated. Great story and I think I agree with one of the reviewers that this book should be a movie. I recommend you, whoever you are that reading my review to listen to this story. I’ll be thinking of this story for a long time and I will ré-listen to it in a near future. Many thanks to the author and the narrators!

Enjoyable

Not sure why this is considered a rom-com. This is a beautiful and serious love story. Filled with sadness and challenges. The MFC was a bit immature but then she is only 27. The author does a good job of keeping your attention to wanting to find out what happens next. Narrators were great.

Couldn’t stop listening

This book starts out so wonderfully then bam it takes a huge angst right. I could not listen fast enough. I have never wanted to skip to the last chapter so bad. Narrators are perfect in this.

Wow

What a great story! I had to listen to it again as soon as it ended to live the emotions that provoked me.

Couldn't stop listening!

had me hanging on every word! I know a re-listen is in my future!

A little slow to start but then hang on!

I stopped and started this book a couple of times, because the beginning seemed a little slow and a little predictable. Little did I know that the beginning didn’t dictate what what would happen in the rest of the book! Once I started listening further, I couldn’t stop!

The Narrators

Mildly obsessed with Fiona Button’s narration and voice acting. I honestly got this audiobook because of Chase Brown, but Fiona shined.

Loved it!

I absolutely loved all the characters, even George. This was so well written, and a wonderful, feel good book.

Loved

Such a sweet story. I Loved the narration. Listed to the book in 2 days.
