"It was the most impactful misdial of Hannah's life when Davey calls her twice thinking he is calling to interview for a position in England. What follows is an electronic long distance relationship that leaves both of them falling slowly in love and looking forward to connecting when he moves across the Atlantic for his new job. This novel's meet cute seems like it will be resolved in the first third of the book until Davey doesn't appear at the airport due to tragic circumstances.<br/><br/>Hannah is left reeling and rejected as Davey informs her that he thinks they should make a clean break and try to move on with their lives. The rest of the book is a study in coping, often poorly, friendship, and, hopefully, a MTB love.<br/><br/>Trigger warnings/Spoiler: If reading about serious health issues (cancer) will make a book too difficult, you may want to steer away from this one. However, as someone who is usually unable to read books with this topic, I did manage to make it through and still enjoy the novel."
