About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

‘This grown-up love story is gorgeously written and romantic without being sentimental’ Good Housekeeping
'This tender tale of second chances... is a nostalgic delight' Sunday Mirror

You never forget the one that got away.

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 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 – 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...

Exquisitely crafted and beautifully told story about first true love, the circumstances and pain of separation then the joy and intrigue of reunion. To be honest, it took me longer to read than it should have because the story is punctuated with songs that I had to stop and listen to along the way (added an amazing new dimension and another level of connection to the characters). I now have my own Spotify "Mix Tape" playlist :-) Wonderfully narrated by Candida Gubbins. Highly recommended book.
