About this listen
In this enchanting tale of modern love and timeless romance, a young woman’s extraordinary discovery whisks her away to alternate timelines—a multitude of possibilities, a singular love story.
Disconnected and listless, Mattie Bridges is fraying at the edges. Working as a wardrobe assistant on a charming Christmas movie in an even more charming small town should be a balm to her turmoil. But she still can’t find her footing.
And after getting lost in her own closet, her life—or more accurately, her lives—becomes a lot more unsteady.
Following a passageway hidden behind her clothes hangers, Mattie uncovers a portal to all the paths her life could have taken. Each reality sees her in a different career, different headspace, and sometimes, a different romance.
Meanwhile, in her current reality, she’s trying to untangle her feelings for her coworker, charming actor Austin Farrow. Between professional decorum and past trauma, Mattie doesn’t feel ready to explore that story further.
But if she’s been paying attention, she might see that her multiple realities aren’t that different after all. There’s a common thread running through them, and Mattie needs to decide whether to knot the thread, or let it unravel.

“Our Common Thread will have you climbing through every wardrobe just like Mattie (with two T’s) on her magical journey of self-discovery. In her debut, Kahli Scott brings to life a delightful cast of characters and a swoony romance with confidence and wit. I couldn’t put it down!”—Amy E. Reichert, author of The Kindred Spirits Supper Club and Once Upon a December
“Our Common Thread is a must-read for anyone who never stopped hoping that magic can be found in unexpected places. Scott weaves together a tale of romance and self-discovery that will have readers racing to see how all the strands fit together.
