BOOK REVIEW: The Day we Meet Again by @
Phoebe and Sam meet on June 14th 2017 and fall in love...on the day they are supposed to leave for a 1 year. Phoebe to Paris and Italy to find herself, Sam to Scotland to find his father and himself.
They promised to meet one year later in the same place they found each other to start a life together.
A year of postcards, emails, messages and a few phone calls and June 14th arrives.
Sam gets to the station and Phoebe can’t get up and enter her train to London. She’s sure of her love for Sam, but something prevents her from moving.
Will Sam ever forgive Phoebe? Once again he has his heart broken by someone he loves.
4.8 Stars

I am a big fan of Miranda Dickinson and her latest book, The Day We Meet Again does not disappoint. Phoebe and Sam have a chance encounter at St Pancras station, Phoebe is about to go off for a year to tour Europe and Sam is heading home to Mull in search of answers about his father who walked out in his childhood. The connection between them is instant and cannot be ignored, they have very little time together but agree to meet up in a years time at the same spot they met. If it is meant to be then they will both be there. We then follow them both on their separate journeys and are privy to their messages, emails and phone-calls. On the one hand they are so sure of their feelings for each other but on the other hand there are niggling doubts, is it crazy to think they can be together after just one short encounter?
The Day We Meet Again is romantic, captivating and a joy to read. I loved how we visited so many locations within the book, Mull, Edinburgh, Paris, Puglia, Cornwall to name but a few, Miranda really gives you a good feel of them with her wonderful descriptions and you feel like you are going along for the journey.
Sam and Phoebe are both extremely likeable characters, they both make mistakes within the story but I was willing for them to be together by the end of the book. Dickinson makes the idea of love at first sight entirely believable, the way Sam and Phoebe interact with each other and the feelings they divulge make their connection realistic and as a reader you can envisage them having a future together.
I enjoyed the back story of Sam looking for his father, it shows how our past can often hold back our future. Sam knows he has to deal with this issue before he can move forward, he wants to be with Phoebe but he can’t give himself completely until he has resolved this issue.
I can highly recommend The Day We Meet Again, it is a great book to lose yourself in for a few hours.

I found this book utterly charming. I loved the meeting of Phoebe and Sam and their instant connection. When they parted and went their separate ways it was realistic that so much would be read into the communications that they had, because it’s very easy online to misread something and put your own interpretation into the words used.
I loved their individual journeys, particularly Sam’s search for his father. I also loved it when Phoebe met someone who paints stones. I have a friend who is a kindergarten teacher in the US who encourages her students to paint stones and leave them for others to find. She takes painted stones with her whenever she is travelling so that she can make an impact elsewhere, so this tied in perfectly with Phoebe’s experiences.
There were plenty of ups and downs with this book, as well as twists and turns and missed moments that will keep you guessing until the end. I really felt that this exquisite novel would make a wonderful movie, and hope that someone notices it and does just that.
Many thanks to Netgalley and HQ for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I normally don't like the love at first sight tropes, but I'm glad that they decided to spend the year apart and get to know each other before making any rushed decisions. I had serendipity so there were parts that annoyed me but in general this was a cute, quick story.
