About this listen
'An incredibly exciting new talent' Beth O'Leary
'Lively, funny, poignant' Bonnie Garmus
'Utterly Charming' Celeste Ng
This isn't a romance. But it is about love.
Remy is lucky. Her three best friends have always been there for her - until the day that they're not. One of them is moving to New York. One of them is pregnant. And one is busy with her (awful) boyfriend. Suddenly, their foursome is splitting - and it feels like a break-up.
Simone doesn't need friends. The only people she needs are her family - but when they cut her off, she realises how alone she is.
When the pair meet in a bookshop, they don't immediately click. But as life keeps throwing them together, they realise that they might just have bumped into exactly what they need... if they can only be brave enough to let each other in.
