I enjoyed this author’s previous book The Paris Connection and this one is no exception. Sorry I missed you is a wonderful uplifting romance which is a delight to read and the perfect escapism for a cosy winter’s afternoon. The book is a slow-burn, close doors romance; as a reader, you can see them going to strangers, friendly neighbours to friends, and lovers. Considering it was a romance book, the main characters don't have a 'deep' conversation (basically not a random "hello" in the corridor, or "how was work?") until about 55% into the book. It's not until 78% that they have their first kiss. Now I'm all for a slow burn, but this was extreme! As I mentioned the only 'romance' for the first half of the book was extremely awkward, random passings. The humour was extremely forced and even by the end of the book I felt the couple had zero chemistry. This is definitely a result of them barely interacting for half the book.

A gorgeous will-they won't-they love story, beautifully written and with characters so perfectly realised they feel like friends... it's the ultimate feel-good read' HOLLY MILLER A perfect-for-these-times novel about friendship, connections and finding love where you least expect it’ ZOE FOLBIGG Thank you to Netgalley and Orion Publishing book for the digital arc of this book in exchange for an honest review. Both were in difficult places in their lives and found that they could be completely honest with one another about situations they had never told anyone else. Their friendship felt very natural, which is very hard to pull off in a book. Told from both their points of view, it’s hard not to be cheering them on.
