The Man I Never Met by Elle Cook
5.0
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Man I Never Meet is a contemporary fiction novel of love, hope, heartache, patience, and survival to name a few key points.
It was a page turner, watching these characters grow and develop in a years time. It was fun spin to have Hannah POV first portion of book. As the book progresses- half way or more- we begin to hear Davey’s POV.
Davey from Texas has an online job interview in England. He dials the wrong number and Hannah answers. They laugh and went about their day. Davey lands the job and sends a message to let Hannah know. Awkward, but it strikes a cord in Hannah. She’s wanting to respond but how weird is that? He’s quick to respond back. Which leads to more texting, phone calls, video chats. They both feel a strong connection for one another. A fast friendship is blooming into genuine feelings. Time is drawing closer for Davey to move to the UK. Hannah has taken her new found interest in Davey She takes her personal time to look at apartments for Davey. Feeling a real bond, she decides she will meet him at the airport. She makes a signs to greet him . . . .but he doesn’t show up. His plane has landed but no Davey. She waits for hours. She is Heartbroken, sad, angry, frustrated, and feeling foolish. Overwhelmed with a basket of emotions she trudges home to be alone with her sorrows.
Eventually Davey makes contact with Hannah explaining how life had a different outcome for them. With this twirl, he breaks off their relationship.
He wants ZERO contact.
Hannah heartbroken is swooped in by her good friend George. They had booked a holiday together and he is not letting her bail on the trip. They have a great time. By the end of the trip they end up as friends with benefits. Once home, they decide to continue to dating only each other. Davey has never left Hannah’s thoughts. She thinks she sees him in every tall blonde man in England.
Fate is not done with Davey’s and Hannah’s story.
