'You know that was the best thing that ever happened to me, don't you?'

She smiled. 'Me, too.'

July, 1986. Vince and Joy have their whole lives ahead of them on the day they meet. Two weeks later they must part, each having lost a piece of their heart to the other. They won't see one another for seven years.

Where will they be then?

Love the story, pity about narration

I've read this book countless times so listening to an audio adaptation seemed like it would be a thrill.
I actually cringed listening to Vince's portrayal. I'm not even sure if I can ever re-read the novel without that horrible gravely voice in my mind.

Beautiful love story

I found the beginning of the book a bit long and drawn out however the ending was intriguing suspenseful and well worth the read

Hooked

Another story from Lisa Jewell that completely hooked me from beginning to end.
There were times the helplessness of the characters annoyed me, but I just had to know the fate of the two characters!

Similar premise to One Day by David Nicholls.

Unfortunately, I found the male reader’s falsetto when reading women’s lines a tad annoying.

Brilliant, interesting read

She writes characters that have complexity and are real. I love how they are explored in terms of what makes them who they are, instead of being portrayed as inherently “good” or “bad”

I couldn’t stop listening and am off to download another one of hers right now
