In the evening after a near-perfect day \u2013 accepting the perfectly orchestrated marriage proposal after wowing her interviewers for her ideal job \u2013 Dannie falls into an exhausted sleep. She&#8217;s startled awake five years into the future in a bed, an apartment, and with a man she absolutely doesn&#8217;t recognize but most definitely can&#8217;t resist. And then she wakes up for real this time, back in her own home with her familiar fianc\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Disturbed but determined, Dannie makes sure life continues according to plan, until four years later, that dreamy stranger reappears: he&#8217;s Bella&#8217;s new lover (finally, a real keeper this time) and he&#8217;s renovating that same loft. Can Dannie escape a future that shouldn&#8217;t possibly be hers?<\/p>\n<p>With affecting nuance and gentle empathy, Hilty is crisply convincing as Dannie, softly breathy as Bella. The BFFs&#8217; interactions are especially resonating, from gleeful to joyous, disappointed and dismissive, desperate and forgiving. Hilty undoubtedly delivers a memorable aural enhancement to bestselling Rebecca Serle&#8217;s latest rom-com-with-a-twist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/bookverdict.com\/details.xqy?uri=Product2021-01-01-6537426.xml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">&#8220;Audio,&#8221; <em>Library Journal,<\/em> January 1, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers<\/strong>: Adult<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published<\/strong>: 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tony-nominated Broadway star Megan Hilty proves to be an ideal narrator, effortlessly assuming (almost-)always-in-control Dannie and her free-spirited best friend, Bella.
