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 doesnt imagine it will change her life. After all, its just an easygoing American named Davey who misdialed her while calling into a job interview. And when Hannah jokingly 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. As they continue to message and their texts become phone calls that become video calls, their friendship becomes a relationship that they can't wait to start in earnest as soon as Davey lands in London in a month's time. But when Hannah goes to the airport to meet him, she finds herself standing alone in the terminal, Davey nowhere to be found. Then comes another life-changing phone call--Davey won't be able to move to London anytime soon, if ever. And its for a reason neither of them could ever have anticipated. With their future so uncertain, they don't know what else to do but try to move on from each other, even if nothing feels right anymore. Even as months go by and their love seems lost forever, neither is ever far from the others thoughts. Will fate intervene one last time to finally bring them together, or will Davey always be the man that Hannah never met?

This book! Ya'll. I had so much anxiety reading this even though it's a romance, and I wanted to peek at the end but I was listening to the audio and just had to trust the author wouldn't totally rip out my heart and feast upon my tears. Absolute love for this!

Clwojick This!!! Books almost NEVER gave me anxiety, and I got 30 mins into a suspense audiobook the other day, and had to switch to something different! I know it‘s going to be a good book, but I was not prepared for the start of it to catch me like that. 😅 I‘m going to leave it for mid month after I‘ve read too many romcoms lol.

Fat phobia. We don't need this in books being published in this decade. Every character comments on calories, being over weight, commenting on other people's weight. Gym culture, denying food. Its toxic. We don't need it.

I know this book is ultimately fluff but I've seen fluff do better.

If you are weight conscious, believe men have feelings or have lost someone to cancer, this probably isn't going to be for you.

Jari-chan Sounds awful 😑 12mo

Hannah lives in London & answers a wrong number call from an American named Davey.This starts a relationship between them through phone and video calls.When Davey is due to arrive in London to start his new job and meet Hannah in person, he doesn‘t show up.We learn the reason why, which is very sad, but then we have to spend the majority of the book with the 2 of them not even talking & dating other people which feels wrong to me.

I enjoyed this one but with a couple of caveats.
Hannah, a single Londoner, has a good life…friends, a good job, nice flat, loving parents. One day she receives a wrong number call from an American, Davie, which changes her life. They begin calling regularly as Davie is getting ready to move to London for work, and she provides info about London and apartments for him. They become friends with the possibility of more, and she agrees to 🔻

robinb meet him at the airport…he never shows. After finally discovering the truth behind his absence, she moves forward and begins a relationship with George, a personal trainer at her gym. Davie moves on as well. After one phone call (at the urging of Davie‘s best friend) and a chance sighting of Davie in London triggers Hannah‘s feelings, she and her boyfriend decide to break up. Will they or won‘t they finally connect? There are lots of things 🔻 2y
robinb to recommend this one. I enjoyed the characters for the most part, there‘s some fun humor. But Hannah‘s relationship with George felt too contrived to me, and Hannah deviated from what I had come to expect from her to a 180 when she was with him. Davie also had his moments of disbelief judging from what I would expect from him.
So, it was a good story but not without some glitches. 3.5/5⭐️ (edited) 2y

Pub Day 19th April

Davey accidentally calls Hannah. They start texting, then video-calling. When Davey gets a job in London, Hannah intends to meet him at the airport. Davey doesn't walk through the Arrival doors. Now to carry on with their lives. Will they eventually meet up?

The plot was predictable. What I hadn't anticipated: the very serious reason for the male MC's no-show. The main and secondary characters are fleshed out very well.
