Publisher Description
A heartwarming and playful novel about the ones we love and the ones we lose by the New York Times bestselling author of This Time Next Year
What would you do if 'the one that got away' turned up the night before your wedding?
Head-in-the-stars Audrey is about to marry down-to-earth Josh. Though they are polar opposites, they have a healthy, stable relationship; Josh is just what Audrey needs. But romance should be unpredictable and full of fireworks, and as the big day approaches, Audrey’s found herself wondering if Josh really is "The One."
So, when Josh’s sister shows up to the rehearsal dinner with Fred, Audrey’s "What If? guy"—the man she met six years ago and had one amazing day with—Audrey finds herself torn. Surely Fred’s appearance the night before she is due to get married can’t be a coincidence. And when everything that could go wrong with the wedding starts to go wrong, Audrey has to ask herself: Is fate trying to stop her from making a huge mistake? Or does destiny just have a really twisty sense of humor?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cousens (Just Haven't Met You Yet) charms with this witty and emotionally rich story about a woman who reunites with the one who got away on the eve of her wedding. Six years before the start of the novel, Audrey discovered photos of a handsome stranger left behind in a London photo booth. Believing the strip to be a message from the universe, she took her own snapshots, hoping the man would return and find her photos. This memorable meet-cute led to one unforgettable date, but miscommunication and missed opportunities conspired to keep them from ever starting a real relationship. Now, the day before Audrey's wedding to Josh, a handsome, successful man who adores her, Audrey is shocked to run into Fred, her soon-to-be sister-in-law's plus one and the man from that unforgettable date. Audrey is certain she loves Josh—but what if Fred is her soulmate and this is fate offering them one more chance? Cousens enhances this lighthearted rom-com with some truly touching moments as the authentic characters grapple with tough decisions. Readers will be especially drawn to Audrey, a woman unafraid to chase her own happiness and face challenges head-on. This is sure to charm.

Funny and lovely!
Cousins is on of my favorite authors. Before I do was witty, warm, and the exact book you want to curl up on the couch with your cup of tea or glass of wine.
