Laura Barnett, author of The Versions of Us

Touching, peppily nostalgic love story.

Funny, moving, relatable and with a great playlist, this is one mix tape well worth investing in.

Nostalgic and poignant, prepare for all the feels.

A nostalgic tale of devastating but enduring love.

Beautifully written and a joy to read.

Carefully formed, well-rounded and likeable, by the final pages I cared about Alison and Daniel as if they were my friends.

A wonderfully musical story about modern relationships and lost loves.

A masterpiece. The best book I’ve read for a long, long, time.

You never forget the one that got away. 
 
Daniel was the first boy to make Alison a mix tape. 
 
But that was years ago and Ali hasn't thought about him in a very long time. Even if she had, she might not have called him 'the one that got away'; after all, she'd been the one to run. 
 
Then Dan's name pops up on her phone, with a link to a song from their shared past. 
 
For two blissful minutes, Alison is no longer an adult in Adelaide with temperamental daughters; she is sixteen in Sheffield, dancing in her skin-tight jeans. She cannot help but respond in kind. 
 
And so begins a new mix tape. 
 
Ali and Dan exchange songs - some new, some old - across oceans and time zones, across a lifetime of different experiences, until one of them breaks the rules and sends a message that will change everything...
