4.5 stars. A good story with likable characters and the right amount of surprises for it to be believable while not being overly predictable.

Content warnings: cancer, ghosting, breakups

Davey calls Hannah thinking he's beginning a job interview at a London architectural firm. Hannah tells Davey he misdialed, but asks him to tell her how the interview went. They text, then call, then FaceTime and begin to develop feelings for each other. They can't wait to meet when Davey moves to London for his new job.

Although the story has an ideal beginning, the rug is pulled out from under our characters and they must navigate illness, other relationships, and career changes separately. But a connection as strong as theirs doesn't just go away...

Recommended for readers of contemporary romance and women's fiction.

Representation: living with cancer, long-distance romance

I received an electronic galley copy of this title from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Not what I expected, moved very slow, and didn’t enjoy. The ending was satisfying, overall well written. Just not for me.

What a fascinating and wonderful read. The entire story pulled me in right from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I knew what happened to the main characters. I just loved this book.
