About this audiobook
Today is Josie’s 36th birthday.
Josie is a single British woman living in a tiny walk-up in Brooklyn. She misses her family, but her radio show is starting to go places. And sure, she could be a dress size smaller, but no one cares what you look like on the radio. The guy she’s had a crush on for months is finally going to break up with his girlfriend. She hopes.
She’s zipping through traffic on her way to meet her friends for dinner at a SoHo restaurant. There’s a screech of brakes, Josie crashes her bike and her world goes black.
Then something extraordinary happens.
She wakes up in hospital. The handsome stranger by her side, holding her hand and telling her he loves her, is Rob. Her husband of two years. They live in a chic Manhattan penthouse. She works in real estate. And she’s thirty pounds slimmer than when she got on her bike that morning.
Josie has no idea how she got here. This new life is everything she ever wanted. But there’s one very important thing missing . . .
And now she has to decide: should she go back to her old single life in Brooklyn or stay with the love of her nearly perfect new life?
What would you do?
This extraordinary and unforgettable love story is perfect for fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid, Audrey Niffenegger, Diana Gabaldon, Jojo Moyes, David Nicholls, Colleen Hoover, Laura Barnett, Rebecca Searle and Holly Miller.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5DNF, kept waiting on the plot to grow, 2 hours in I passed on this.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lovely book. Better then expected! ❤️ I really enjoyed it! ?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was afraid of the ending it could be really unfair but idk ? I think it turned ok but not amazing.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This definitely kept my interest and I found I was rooting for her and Rob. A bit far fetched and I was waiting for it all to be a dream. Even though I don’t believe in this sort of thing, I still enjoyed the book!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this book! Couldn’t put it down & am sad it’s over.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved this book! It is beautifully written. Want to read more by this author!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Actually an excellent book. Great ending, great perspectives along the way. I’d pick up her other books without even caring about the genre. My only issue at all was the narrator’s American accent. It was so awful. Haha!!! I’m sure anyone would say that about me attempting an English accent.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book kept me pretty interested. The concept may not have necessarily gripped me on reading the blurb but it definitely did once I began listening. I was fairly satisfied with the ending too, without saying too much to spoil it. Props to the author for not veering into the over simplified political statements that many authors often do now, it was nice to just listen to a good book without that rubbish.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoyed it very much. Parallel lives, crossing at the right time in the right place......very interesting theme. ?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great writer who built this story so beautifully. Thank you for sharing your interest in such an amazing way.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I finished the audiobook in a day. The ending made me really happy. It definitely makes you think of all the different lives we could be leading had a different choice been made.
