For fans of Jojo Moyesรขโฌโขs Me Before You comes a beautifully written, heartwarming novel about mothers and daughters, husbands and wives. The Day We Met asks: Can you love someone you donรขโฌโขt remember falling in love with?
A gorgeous husband, two beautiful children, a job she lovesรขโฌโClaireรขโฌโขs got it all. And then some. But lately, her mother hovers more than a helicopter, her husband, Greg, seems like a stranger, and her kids are like characters in a movie. Three-year-old Estherรขโฌโขs growing up in the blink of an eye, and twenty-year-old Caitlin, with her jet-black hair and clothes to match, looks like sheรขโฌโขs about to join a punk bandรขโฌโand seems to be hiding something. Most concerning, however, is the fact that Claire is losing her memory, including that of the day she met Greg.
A chance meeting with a handsome stranger one rainy day sets Claire wondering whether she and Greg still belong together: She knows she should love him, but she canรขโฌโขt always remember why. In search of an answer, Claire fills the pages of a blank book Greg gives her with private memories and keepsakes, jotting down beginnings and endings and everything in between. The book becomes the story of Claireรขโฌโher passions, her sorrows, her joys, her adventures in a life that refuses to surrender to a fate worse than dying: disappearing.
