About this audiobook

From the national bestselling author of Before We Were Strangers, Swear on this Life, and Wish You Were Here comes a powerful story of two people who spend years denying their scientifically proven chemistry.

Penny spends her afternoons sitting outside a sandwich shop, surrounded by ghosts. Fourteen years ago, this shop was her childhood dance studio—and she was a dancer on the rise. Now she’s a suburban housewife, dreading the moment her son departs for MIT, leaving her with an impeccably decorated McMansion and a failing marriage. She had her chance at wild, stars-in-her-eyes happiness, but that was a lifetime ago. After The Kiss. Before The Decision.

The Kiss was soulful. Magical. Earth-shattering. And it was all for a free gift card. Asked to participate in a psych study that posed the question, “Can you have sexual chemistry without knowing what the other person looks like?” Penny agreed to be blindfolded, make polite conversation with a total stranger, and kiss him. She never expected The Kiss to change her life forever and introduce her to Gavin: tattooed, gorgeous, and spontaneous enough to ask her out seconds after the blindfolds came off.

For a year, they danced between friendship and romance—until Penny made The Decision that forced them to settle for friendship. Now, fourteen years later, both of their lives are about to radically change—and it’s his turn to decide what will become of their once-in-a-lifetime connection.

    Oh wow. I've never been so frustrated in my life. I loved Gavin and Penny's relationships so much. Can't tell you how many times I yelled at her to stop being so silly... oof this book broke my heart and put it back together again. I'm an emotional bitch and those last chapters got me deep, I felt their pain...
    I felt every word written in this book and I still can't stop crying about them ?

    I liked it a lot. There are not many books that I will remember but it’s one of them. A lot of emotional turmoil but unfortunately a lot of things in life happen in the wrong time and place. Thanks author for the great book.

    This book is one heck of a read: sweet, utterly frustrating, loving and heart wrenching. Wow,just wow. “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”

    I hated how it dived from 14 years ago to current day. I also didn't like how the whole book they darted around each other and then have less than 10 mins at end of book as a couple
