Miss You
Miss You | Kate Eberlen
"I couldn't put it down" Sophie Kinsella Sometimes it's the people you miss who matter most. Tess and Gus are meant to be. They just haven't met properly yet. And perhaps they never will... 'Today is the first day of the rest of your life.' That's what the plate in Tess's mum's kitchen says. And for a while, it seems like it might be true: Tess has just finished her A levels and is holidaying in Florence before going on to university and then Great Things. But that's before tragedy strikes. For Gus, the tragedy has already happened. He and his parents have come to Florence to pretend they're a normal family, but they all know that's not true, and Gus can't wait to escape. The first time Tess and Gus meet, they don't speak. The second time, they exchange nine words. The third time, three sentences. Then they return to England and their separate worlds and that, as they say, is that. Or it would be -- except that the universe seems to have other ideas, even if neither Tess nor Gus realise it.

"It's funny, isn't it? We have dictionaries full of amazing words, and yet the only phrase human beings have come up with to express their singular and infinite passion is three tiny, inadequate syllables?"

Very good. Love how this author can make you believe that you have been following around these characters in their life, celebrating, commiserating with them. You go through a rollercoaster of emotions during this book so you can this book will stay with you for a long time. Thank you @TrishB for this book as you bought it for my birthday last year.

I really liked this novel about Gus and Tess who have a chance encounter in Florence and then meet again sixteen years later. While I did not find their reunion quite as successful as I wanted it to be...overall I enjoyed time spent with these two characters. A very distracting read. #covid19readathon

Well, they announced last week that school would remain closed until the end of the school year, which is devastating on many levels. Thankfully, I have more than enough books on my tbr shelf-the pile in front of me, the shelves behind me, and more elsewhere-to keep me reading. I KNEW book hoarding would come in handy some day, but I was thinking more retirement. This picture was originally taken for our yearbook, which I just finished yesterday.

TheLibrarian Haha I told my husband with the pandemic, it‘s a good thing I‘m fully stocked on books. 4y
Balibee146 Snap... I have about the same physical TBR... Then there's all the others on my Kindle... If only I could get in the heads pace to read. 😘😘 4y

I feel misled by the One Day comparison. 😕

Melissa_J I haven‘t read One Day (or watched the movie), but I expected this book to be much different than it was based on the blurb. It was a so-so book for me, too. 5y

Miss You by Kate Eberlen is a very sweet novel and beautiful story about the most important things in life... Is the story of taking risks. So it gets more complicated. All the planes, everything changes...

What I did like was the premise of the book. Chance meetings, fated lovers, and the unwavering belief in romance. There were parts that were simply delightful and endearing, and I would definitely read more by this author and recommend this book for a fun summer read.

About two weeks ago a client/friend passed away from pneumonia due to a weakened immune system during her third round of chemo for breast cancer. I‘ve been ok, but off and on I just fall to pieces. I miss her and can‘t imagine not having her wonderful presence in my life. Tonight was another downer as I‘m planning a lunch with our third counterpart/friend tomorrow and I‘ve been sobbing imagining lunch without her. Your sweet wishes appreciated.

Received this from Harper Perennial. Lookinh forward to reading it.
About two people who meet briefly in their teens and their lives continue to cross paths many times over the years. Is it random or fate?....

It‘s just that sometimes when I‘m looking at a clear night sky, with all those stars, the universe seems so vast and random, it‘s strange to think how our tiny little moments down on earth can hold so much significance 🌌✨

This book made me think of David Nicholls' One Day ( which I loved and is mentioned in this story coincidentally) it follows 2 characters and uses their point of views over several years chronicling their near misses and almost connections and it's a fun read right up to the almost end and then it's okay

Almost done listening to Miss You - it switches back and forth between two narrators and the readers are pleasant and the story moves along at a good pace.

I want to finish so I can start listening to The Jane Austen Project.

#TBRtemptation post 6! I like this cover! Especially since it has someone reading 😆. Tess and Gus seem meant to be. They are both on holiday in Florence before university starts. For one day, this 18-year-old young woman and man will cross paths and their lives will change forever. Back in England, they both will face 16 years of challenges. Will they meet again? #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

This was really tough to get through. I have a lot of feelings about how this story line should have progressed, and none of them line up with what happened. The idea was cute but not really executed as well as it could have been.

Update on my Staycation: I put my shirt back on and proceeded to go just ask for towels. I get in the elevator with a few other girls from the pool in similar attire (but thinner). The hotel worker in the elevator leaned in and "politely" said to me only "you know we have robes" ??? Needless to say, I was over the pool at that point.

❤️ the readers on this audiobook! Tess and Gus keep barely missing meeting each other time and time again--leading them down paths full of bad choices. For fans of Sliding Doors, which should be everyone.

At 28, I am tracing patterns in my history, so the topic interested me. But the pacing was WAY off. It spans 16 years and 433 pages, but Part 1 encompasses 107 pages and four months, much of it repetitive theme and exposition building. It's a dirge. The final part is just 30 pages, so the climax feels forced & rushed. The whole conceit of the book is contrived. Not whimsical. Readalike: Jill Mansell, whose novels capture fate and love way better.
