For fans of Jojo MoyesΓ’β¬β’s 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 donΓ’β¬β’t remember falling in love with?
A gorgeous husband, two beautiful children, a job she lovesΓ’β¬βClaireΓ’β¬β’s 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 EstherΓ’β¬β’s growing up in the blink of an eye, and twenty-year-old Caitlin, with her jet-black hair and clothes to match, looks like sheΓ’β¬β’s about to join a punk bandΓ’β¬βand 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 canΓ’β¬β’t 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 ClaireΓ’β¬βher passions, her sorrows, her joys, her adventures in a life that refuses to surrender to a fate worse than dying: disappearing.
