Perfect Timing | Owen Nicholls
5 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
From the author of Love, Unscripted. . . . They're perfect for each other. But what happens when you meet the right person at the wrong time--over and over again? "A modern-day love story with an old-fashioned warmth."--Debbie Johnson, author of Maybe One Day Up-and-coming musician Tom thinks he met the love of his life one night a year ago, but thanks to a made-up girlfriend, he's pretty sure he's never going to see her again. If it weren't for the painkillers the doctor had given him for his dislocated shoulder, he could've explained what really happened. But now the moment for explanations has gone, so he just keeps writing songs about her in the wild hope that she'll hear one on the radio and understand. Jess thinks she met a cheating liar one night a year ago, but much to her chagrin, she can't seem to stop thinking about him. When she finally decides to take it upon herself to tell Tom's girlfriend what happened that night, she finds out that the truth isn't quite what she thought it was. But by then it's too late--she's headed to the other side of the world to launch her comedy career. As the years go by, Tom and Jess are never far from each other's thoughts. But every time it seems that there might be a way for them to move forward, something else conspires to keep them apart. In life and in love, timing is everything--but will Tom and Jess ever manage to get it right?

A great read! Cute story and a great light distraction I needed! Loved the side info about anxiety in it as well, didn't intentionally pick it for that reason but it definitely made me feel not so alone in some of my own symptoms!

I really enjoyed this book. This was the first I‘ve read by this author and definitely plan to read others. I found the characters to be so believable and absolutely imperfect and I related to them. This novel really showed how truly awful timing can be to love and how it can also be just right.

This was such a cute love story, but had a lot of depth to their characters. Each of them dealing with their own pasts that continually make them second guess their careers and their feelings for each other.

This was simply delightful. If you are just hearing about this book for the first time, then I highly recommend this, and if you overlooked it, give it a chance.

Jess is an up-and-coming stand-up comedian. Tom is in an up-and-coming band. They meet at a talent show in Edinburgh, spend several hours walking and talking but are on their way in two different directions. They can‘t forget the other, and there are several accidental meetings, but it‘s never the right time for them (other relationships, career issues, etc.). Yes, this is a romance but a bit broader than that. Tom suffers from panic attacks, 🔻

robinb low self-confidence and a distant relationship with his parents. Jess has issues with a father who abandoned the family when she was 2, and she goes down a dark hole in order to further her career. This book was just an OK for me. I found both Jess and Tom (especially Jess) a bit immature in some of their actions (both are late 20s), and I got a bit anxious for their eventual growth and “perfect timing”. 3.5/5⭐️ 3y

If this isn‘t perfect timing, I don‘t know what is! I woke up to this newsletter from my local libraries. They will be opening their doors in September, just in time for #Scarathlon2021 which starts October 1st! Bonus that the MJLB is just a 15 minute walk from my new house! I will definitely be heading there to check out their selection before the event starts in October.

CindiB I almost wept when my library reopened. Enjoy! 3y
