About this listen
What are the odds that the stranger sitting next to you on a plane is destined to change your life? Especially when they appear to be your opposite in every way…
The perfect read for fans of Ruth Jones, Jane Green and Sheila O'Flanagan, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Just My Luck and Both Of You…
Jo is a hopeless romantic. Worried she let her soulmate slip away, she's chasing her past all the way to Chicago to break up her ex-fiancé's wedding.
Dean is a resolute cynic. After a brief (but not brief enough) trip to London, he's returning to Chicago, where he moved to escape his dysfunctional past.
In the time it takes to fly from London to Chicago, each finds something in the other that they didn't even realise they needed.
But it's only when they get off the plane that their true journey begins…

‘Kept me guessing and had me gasping at the twist’ Ian Rankin
‘Ambitious, nail-biting, darkly voyeuristic – I tore through it in two sittings' Louise Candlish
‘Addictive, provocative and thoroughly relatable’ T.M. Logan
‘An absolute joy: gripping, shocking and surprising’ Jane Fallon

What a ride!
One of the most entertaining books from Adel. From laugh out loud moments to a very bitter sweet ending. Highly recommend if your heading to middle age and battling the dating scene. I guarantee you are going to find the characters very relatable.

Loved this
I really enjoyed this book, great story and good narration. Only slightly annoyed by some sloppy editing, with occasional duplication including chapter 39 (Dean) which crops up twice! But otherwise I highly recommend
