The unpredictible and big-hearted new love story from the author of Until Next Weekend and Saturdays at Noon!

From their very first date, Jamie and Lucy know they've met THE ONE.

They're as different as night and day. Jamie's a home bird, while Lucy's happiest on holiday. He has a place for everything - she can never find her keys.

Yet, somehow, they make each other happier than they ever thought possible.

So why does their story start with them saying 'goodbye'?

And does this really have to be the end. . . ?

Relatable, romantic and heartbreakingly real, HELLO, STRANGER proves that the best love stories often have the most unexpected endings.

I loved Saturdays at Noon and its balance of funny moments alongside sad and difficult themes. I found Hello Stranger just quite sad and heavy, so maybe not for me, wanted to get to the end but had lost interest in the characters. I personally preferred the female narrator voice.
