Publisher's summary

A year ago, Evan and Sarah shared one incredible night. Then Evan’s music - the thing that brought them together - suddenly tore them apart.

Since then, Evan’s not been able to forget about her. And try as she might, Sarah can’t seem to get over him either.

With time running out, Evan’s got one last chance to convince her that the two of them were meant to be. But is one night enough for Sarah to make a decision about the rest of her life - even if it was the best night of her life? And if she doesn’t believe in love at first sight, how can Evan persuade her that what they had will last?

From the bestselling author of A Day at the Office, What Might Have Been is Matt Dunn’s new romantic comedy about two people in love. Though one of them needs a little convincing….

Jazzy Rom-Com

Exactly what I expected for a lighthearted rom-com; laughable moments with a few groans, sprinkled with clichés. Bonus, there’s a Hollywood-esque twist scene at the end of the book that unsettles the predictable outcome by an inch. Sometimes it's the simple, yet fluffy entertainment that comes off best.

Navigating ambivalence.

This book is all about decisions. Should you take the career opportunity of a lifetime, or stay behind for what could be a true soulmate connection with someone else? Should you marry someone boring but stable, or go for someone who makes your heart soar, but who might let you down? Should you let the love of your life slip away, or refuse to give up until you've done everything you could?

This book is full of questions and doubts as both of the main characters agonize over these decisions. And yet, it's a light read. It's not for everyone, but personally, I enjoyed it. It did git a bit tedious at times, but there were moments when I'd get a bit watery eyed. What can I say, I'm a sucker for romance. This book wasn't all about physical attraction or sex, although it had that. It was really about whether or not it's better to follow your heart, even if it isn't the most practical course.

The narrator was great, switching between his native English accent and an American one (he was from England, she was from America). And then, the narrator used several different regional accents for the different characters, which I thought was cool.

This story kept me adequately entertained for a couple weeks during my hour-long commute to work, and it was a nice break from the usual sci-fi and fantasy. I wish books like this were more popular.

Sarah’s Doubts

Sarah’s doubts went on excessively. Made me want Evan to walk away, not fight for her.
