Summary

“Rich, romantic, beautifully drawn and utterly compelling’ Jane Green

Life is short. Sometimes you have to take a chance…

‘A deeply moving tale about never taking life for granted’ Stylist

Two single parents, Frankie and Scott, meet unexpectedly. Their homes are far apart: Frankie lives with her children on the North Norfolk coast, Scott in the mountains of British Columbia. Yet though thousands of miles divide them, a million little things connect them. A spark ignites, a recognition so strong that it dares them to take a risk.

For two families, life is about to change. But no-one could have anticipated how.

Critic reviews

‘Beautifully drawn and utterly compelling’ Jane Green

'A stunning read about an impromptu meeting that alters two destinies' Daily Record

‘Gorgeously eloquent and touching…a celebration of the wonderful glory of love and life’ Lovereading.co.uk

‘A moving and poignant novel about long-distance love…will draw you in so deeply’ Heat

‘From the initial spark and through the unfolding drama, it is joyous but understated. And the great cruelties that life harbours are not forgotten, either’
The Lady

‘Keep the tissues close…a gripping love story’ Good Housekeeping

‘Thoughtful and moving’ Closer

‘An emotional tale about finding love in unexpected places’ The Herald

‘Get your tissues out for this one’ Woman and Home

‘A richly drawn, romantic weepy’ Sunday Mirror

‘Thoughtful and moving…a story you won’t want to put down’ Sunday Post

‘[An] outstanding contemporary love story eschews a traditional happily-ever-after ending, but is no less romantic for that… readers will immediately be reminded of the great loves in their own lives… [and] will find it impossible to put down their five-hanky story until the last page is turned.’ Publishers Weekly (Starred)

‘If you cried at Jojo Moyes’ “Me Before You”, get your hankies ready.’ Booklist (Starred)

Literally just finished listening to this. What a story! Not at all what I was expecting and it didn't go where I was expecting either! But as a big fan of Freya North (I absolutely LOVE the McCabe sister books), this book really has to be right up there.

I'm less familiar with Frankie's location, but we had the most wonderful time in the area of Scott's location some years ago and could just see, feel and smell the locations as the descriptions were so accurate.

I definitely feel those "mourning" feelings you get when you finish a really good book with well described, genuine characters that you just want to hear more about. DEFINITELY recommend this book!

Oh! One of her best!
