Adam Sharp is at home in Norwich, England, reading, when an email pops up. It is from Angelina, the love of his life, from whom Adam hasn't heard in 20 years. Sure he has thought about her and okay, he will admit he's still in love. But they both have moved on. Adam is comfortably married and making a decent living as an IT database architect. He knows Angelina is married with kids. But before long, Adam and Angelina are in an email exchange that feels like an affair, albeit virtually. When Angelina taunts Adam to live recklessly, he jumps at the chance to see if the passion still exists between the two of them. Of course, life is never that simple. Simsion (The Rosie Project; The Rosie Effect) is back with his third novel. While not quite as funny as the Rosie books, this is an entertaining read that asks, what would you do if you had another chance with the "one who got away?"
VERDICT A bittersweet read for fans of Simsion's previous works as well as readers who enjoy Emily Giffin, Sophie Kinsella, or Jane Green. [See Prepub Alert, 12/6/16.]
