About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

You never forget the one that got away. But what if ‘what could have been’ is yet to come?

Daniel was the first boy to make Alison a mix tape.

But that was years ago and Ali hasn’t thought about him in a very long time. Even if she had, she might not have called him ‘the one that got away’; after all, she’d been the one to run.

Then Dan’s name pops up on her phone, with a link to a song from their shared past.

For two blissful minutes, Alison is no longer an adult in Adelaide with temperamental daughters; she is 16 in Sheffield, dancing in her skin-tight jeans. She cannot help but respond in kind.

And so begins a new mix tape.

Ali and Dan exchange songs - some new, some old - across oceans and time zones, across a lifetime of different experiences, until one of them breaks the rules and sends a message that will change everything....

Because what if ‘what could have been’ is yet to come?

As I live in Adelaide but come from the UK this story was totally relatable. Even better that there is a playlist that you can download too.
It was an easy enjoyable story that got me hooked straight away.
The only downside is that South African accents crept in occasionally from the narrator.

Great story

I enjoyed this book, as a Brit living in Aus I especially liked the back and forth between the 2 places. But, the Australian accents sound very South African. Good try though! I think the Aussie accent is probably hard to grasp if you're not raised around it, But it didn't really detract from the story, it just would have added a touch of something with a strong Aussie accent. Especially Sheila and Dora. Lovely story and lovely narrator.

Nice
