Description
What if you met your soulmate one minute too late?
Ten years ago, four strangers were thrown together in the same flat at university. This chance arrangement will change their lives forever.
For Aurora, the first in her family to go to uni, it opens whole new worlds. For Ollie, arriving mere minutes after the others, it means years of pining for the one woman he can never have. Or risk losing the best friends he's ever had.
Through love, tragedy, and everything in between, the friends' paths seem set. But when soulmates are kept apart, fate might just give a little helping hand...
