The Man I Never Met by Elle Cook
5.0
The Man I Never Met had me engaged right from the beginning. I appreciated the flow of the story and the highly likeable, well-developed characters. The story is told in a dual narrative which worked extremely well. This is my first book by Elle Cook and it certainly won’t be my last.
When England-based Hannah receives a misdialled phone call from a U.S. number, she has no idea how much this will change her life. Davey is calling the U.K. for a job interview when he inadvertently calls Hannah. The two have a pleasant, easy conversation which ends with Hannah wishing him luck on his interview.
Fast forward and Davey has interviewed and been offered the position. He feels the need to call Hannah to let her know and ask about the neighbourhoods he should be seeking out for his new home. The two begin a friendship and soon are communicating daily. A romance is clearly developing and is palpable to the reader.
Hannah has agreed to meet Davey at the airport on the day he is to arrive. But fate has other another plan. Without giving anything away, Davey is unable to make it to England. Moreover, he stops all communication with Hannah. She eventually learns from Davey the reason why he hasn’t arrived in England. Davey asks her not to call again.
Serendipity has other ideas for this couple. Despite life’s challenges and other relationships, the couple eventually meets in person. Will this couple finally get together or will the feelings that they have for each other over the many months be for nothing?
I listened to the audiobook version of The Man I Never Met which was narrated by Fiona Button and Chase Brown. Their performances were easy to listen to and added to an already amazing book. The audiobook version is a great choice for all those that enjoy this format.
I highly recommend this book to those that enjoy Women’s Fiction or Romance.
