A thoughtful, captivating and ultimately uplifting novel from this uniquely talented author.
Jasmine know two things: one, she loves her vulnerable sister unconditionally, and will fight to the death to protect her from anyone who upsets her. Two, she's only ever been good at one thing - her job helping business start-ups.
So when she's sacked and sent on gardening leave, Jasmine realises that she has nothing else to fill her life.
Bored and twitchy, insomnia keeps her awake and staring out of her bedroom window, and she soon finds herself watching the antics of her neighbour, shock jock Matt, with more than a casual eye.
Matt is also taking a forced leave of absence from work, after one of his controversial chat shows went too far in a discussion on disabled rights...
Jasmine has every reason to dislike Matt, and the feeling appears to be mutual. But not everything is as it seems, and soon Jessica and Matt are forced to think again...
Matt loves two things: his family and the booze. Without them, he hits rock bottom.
One New Year's Eve, two people's paths collide. Both have time on their hands; both are at a crossroads. But as the year unfolds, through moonlit nights and suburban days, an unlikely friendship slowly starts to blossom.
Sometimes you have to stop still in order to move on...
Original and poignant, The Year I Met You will make you laugh, cry and celebrate life.
