Description
'If you cried at Jojo Moyes' "Me Before You", get your hankies ready.' Booklist
Two single parents, Frankie and Scott, meet unexpectedly. Their homes are far apart: Frankie lives with her children on the North Norfolk coast, Scott in the mountains of British Columbia. Yet though thousands of miles divide them, a million little things connect them. A spark ignites, a recognition so strong that it dares them to take a risk.
For two families, life is about to change. But no-one could have anticipated how.
