Mix Tape

ÔA lovely novel, delicately drawn, with characters that really linger in the mind and memory. A clever and compelling blend of realism and idealism - I got really swept up in it.Õ Laura Barnett, author ofÊThe Versions of Us
You never forget the one that got away. But what if Ôwhat could have beenÕ is yet to come?

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

But that was years ago and Ali hasnÕt thought about him in a very long time. Even if she had, she might not have called him Ôthe one that got awayÕ; after all, sheÕd been the one to run.

Then DanÕs 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 sixteen 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 Ð some new, some old Ð 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 everythingÉ

Because what if Ôwhat could have beenÕ is yet to come?
