An exciting and nostalgic read for music fans!

Nick Hornby's 'High Fidelity' is one of my favourite books, so I was intrigued by this new love story between music lovers. I was looking for a light read ... READ MORE

Synopsis

Get ready to fall in love with the beautiful and funny second-chance romance, perfect for fans of One Day by David Nicholls and Love, Rosie.

Now a major BBC TV Series featuring Teresa Palmer, Jim Sturges, and Bridgerton star Florence Hunt!

You never forget the one that got away….

Daniel was the first boy to make Alison a mix tape.

But that was years ago and Ali hasn't thought about him in a very long time. Even if she had, she might not have called him 'the one that got away'; after all, she'd been the one to run.

Then Dan's name pops up on her phone, with a link to a song from their shared past.

For two blissful minutes, Alison is no longer an adult in Adelaide with temperamental daughters; she is sixteen in Sheffield, dancing in her skin-tight jeans. She cannot help but respond in kind.

And so begins a new mix tape. Ali and Dan exchange songs - some new, some old - across oceans and time zones, across a lifetime of different experiences.

Until one of them breaks the rules and sends a message that will change everything...
