My Review
When Hannah in London receives a misdialled telephoned call from Davey in Texas, there's an instant connection between the two. They continue to talk despite the distance between them, and when Davey gets a new job in London, they plan to meet. However, Hannah is left confused when Davey isn't on his flight, but when she finds out the real reason, they both find their worlds turned upside down.
This was my first book by this author, and I absolutely loved it. I was pulled into the storyline right from the very first page, and I similarly found that instant connection with Hannah and Davey that they did with themselves. The story is such an easy read - one which I finished in just under a day - and it tugged at my heartstrings throughout. The characters are likeable, and I could dreamily imagine how lovely Davey was…and even George in some respects! The story is initially told from Hannah's point of view, but Davey's storyline is added in as the book continues. It is a little bit of a sad read, all the more so when I read that the author drew from her own experiences, but it also has heart-warming, light-hearted and charming moments scattered amongst the pages.
Filled with love, friendships, hope and second chances, this book had me hooked into Hannah and Davey's stories. Their will they/won't-they, do they/don't they storyline was endearing and delightful! Loved the conclusion to their stories, and to be honest, wished it could have just carried on! Would recommend!
