About this listen

From the no. 1 bestselling author of PS, I Love You comes an enchanting novel about two childhood friends whom fate and destiny can't help toying with…

From naughty children to rebellious teenagers, Rosie and Alex have stuck by each other through thick and thin. But just as they're discovering the joys of teenage nights on the town and dating disasters, they're separated. Alex's family moves from Dublin to America – and Alex goes with them. For good.

Rosie's lost without him. But on the eve of her departure to join Alex in Boston, Rosie gets news that will change her life forever – and keep her at home in Ireland.

Their magical connection sees them through the ups and downs of each other's lives but neither of them knows whether their friendship can really survive the years and miles – as well as new relationships. And at the back of Rosie's mind is whether they were meant to be more than just good friends all along. Misunderstandings, circumstances and sheer bad luck have kept them out of each other’s arms, but when presented with the ultimate opportunity, will they gamble everything – including their friendship – for true love?

Destiny, Alex and Rosie discover, is a funny thing and fate isn't quite done with them yet…

Poorly written brilliant idea

The ideas in the book are brilliant but the writing was cringeworthy and the narrations even more so. I love accents but when listening to an audiobook the Irish and Scottish accents were frustrating. It was also hard to follow as an audiobook because of the letter format where it switched between the characters' perspectives. I usually prefer the book to the movie version but this was definitely an exception.

Just save yourself 6 hours and watch the movie

Look, at first I was like oh yeah this runs pretty much the same as the movie, and then *spoiler alert* they don’t end up getting together till they’re like 50-60?? What the f*ck, how depressing is that, after so many years wasted with obviously bad relationships. It’s depresso. Also the writing format of emails, letter and dm’s is a bit hard to follow (because of audio book) at the start, but gets easier to listen to. Still didn’t love it, but it’s different.
