Poignant, hopeful, and full of emotional power, an unforgettable story in the vein of P.S. I Love You about two people learning to love again after great loss, perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and Josie Silver.

How can you move on if you can’t let go?

Spencer was the love of Anna’s life: her husband, her best friend, her rock. She thought their love would last forever.

But three years ago, Spencer was tragically killed in an accident and Anna’s world was shattered. How can she ever move on, when she’s lost her soulmate?

On New Year’s Eve Anna calls Spencer’s phone number, just to hear his old voicemail greeting. But to her shock, someone answers…

Brody has inherited Spencer’s old number and is the first person who truly understands what Anna’s going through. As her and Brody’s phone calls become lengthier and more frequent, they begin opening up to each other—and slowly rediscover how to smile, how to laugh, even how to hope.

But Brody hasn’t been entirely honest with Anna. Will his secret threaten everything, just as it seems she might find the courage to love again?

25% (view spoiler)[ Grief doesn't have a time limit and while I'm sure her friends mean well, it sucks for them to push her when she is so clearly not ready. I definitely think she needs therapy and hanging out with her mother in law is not helping anything (hide spoiler)]

51% (view spoiler)[ Is Brody lying to her about being agoraphobic or is there more to it? Like maybe his wife didn't die, she left him or something. I'm glad he's been there for Anna and I hope he has motivation to get better (hide spoiler)]

70% (view spoiler)[ Is Brody catfishing her?? I hope not, I'll feel so bad for her if he is! (hide spoiler)]

75% (view spoiler)[ Awh, I liked Jeremy! I'm sad she broke up with him, I thought they were cute together (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I wasn't happy with the way Anna handled her panic attack by trying to make Brody forget about her abandoning him. But I am glad both of them have started to heal and the ending was hopeful (hide spoiler)]

Part I (view spoiler)[I wish we knew more bout who Brody lost. It’s feels like maybe he lost a kid too? And I’m really proud of Anna for going off on her mother in law, I’m sorry that women has been downright cruel. (hide spoiler)]

Section 39 (view spoiler)[I cannot believe that woman just told her she should have died instead... (hide spoiler)]

Section 55 (view spoiler)[Sometimes I hate to be right. I just knew he had lost a child but I’m blown away he’s been stuck since then. Nine years ago is a long time to grieve 😞 (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[This was a really beautiful story. I love that the heroine took the idea of how they met and is turning it into a app to help others. Overall I wish we got a bit more time of them actually together but nonetheless I really enjoyed it. Remarkable the way they bonded and slowly healed one another without even knowing.

(view spoiler)[Yeah I liked him too, wasn’t sure where he was going to fit in since t first she did have feelings for him. Surprised he took it so gracefully though, thought he was going to cause a scene or overreact like her mother in law. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Just wished we got to see more of them once they were together. Felt a little unfinished. Omg I did love her BFF calling and befriending an 80 year old, that was hilarious especially since she didn’t let it be known on his age right away lol (hide spoiler)]

@Finished (view spoiler)[ I agree, I'm happy they were able to heal each other without even realizing it. I do wish we saw them fully together, but at least we got the sense that they'll continue a relationship (hide spoiler)]
