When Ros steps off a plane after four years away she’s in need of a job, a flat and a phone that actually works. And, possibly, her old life back. Because everyone at home has moved on, her parents have reignited their sex life, she’s sleeping in a converted shed and she’s got a bad case of nostalgia for the way things were.
Then her new phone begins to ping with messages from people she thought were deleted for good. Including one number she knows off by heart: her ex’s.
Sometimes we’d all like the chance to see what we’ve been missing…

This is my first Lindsey Kelk book so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Happily, I was not disappointed.
Ros is back from four years away to find everything has completely changed, and yet she longs for things to go back to the way they were. Including is her old boyfriend who is somehow back in her life. For good?
I really enjoyed reading this book. I love Ros and how conflicted she is. After being in the states for four years, she came back to find life moved on without her. She struggles with her parents who have moved her out to a shed in the backyard, she struggles with her friends’ lives who have moved on and are happier than they were. And she struggles with her own heart. She has built her ex up on in her mind, and it might be the thing that makes her miss out on new romance.
This was such a fun story to read because we’ve all been there. We return to our childhood home remembering it to be exactly the same as when we left it, yet we are dismayed to find the slightest differences even after years away. I like how that came through in the story and how Ros had to accept that her past wasn’t all she remembered it to be and how she had to embrace her future.
I love Ros’s network of friends and how comfortable and lively they are. You could really feel their friendship through the page. And John is dreamy, and of course they don’t like each other at first and that made me root for him all the more.
Overall it was a fun book that was easy to read.

This book sounds fun to read and your review makes me want to find it soon. I haven’t read a book by this author before. Finding strong friendships in novels is always a happy aspect for me.
I’m glad you enjoyed this story. I think I will too.
