ONE OF THE BEST FEEL-GOOD BOOKS OF 2021 BY THE WASHINGTON POST
"I read Eight Perfect Hours in one sitting, in four perfect hours, because I couldn't bear to put it down without knowing the ending." --Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author
In this romantic and heartwarming novel, two strangers meet in chance circumstances during a blizzard and spend one perfect evening together, thinking they'll never see each other again. But fate seems to have different plans. From the acclaimed author of the "swoon-worthy...rom-com" ( The Washington Post ) Dear Emmie Blue.
On a snowy evening in March, thirty-something Noelle Butterby is on her way back from an event at her old college when disaster strikes. With a blizzard closing off roads, she finds herself stranded, alone in her car, without food, drink, or a working charger for her phone.
All seems lost until Sam Attwood, a handsome American stranger also trapped in a nearby car, knocks on her window and offers assistance. What follows is eight perfect hours together, until morning arrives and the roads finally clear. The two strangers part, positive they'll never see each other again but fate, it seems, has a different plan. As the two keep serendipitously bumping into one another, they begin to realize that perhaps there truly is no such thing as coincidence.
With plenty of charming twists and turns and Lia Louis's "bold, standout voice" (Gillian McAllister, author of The Good Sister ), Eight Perfect Hours is a gorgeously crafted novel that will make you believe in the power of fate.
"On a snowy evening in January, thirtysomething Noelle Butterby is on her way back from an event at her old college when disaster strikes. With a blizzard closing off roads, she finds herself stranded, alone in her car, without food, drink, or, even worse, a working charger for her phone. All seems lost until Sam Attwood, also trapped in a nearby car, knocks on her window and offers assistance. After eight perfect hours together, morning arrives and the roads finally clear. The two strangers part, positive they'll never see each other again but fate has something else in mind. As the two keep serendipitously bumping into one another, they begin to realize that perhaps there truly is no such thing as coincidence"--Page 4 of cover.
