From the instant New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing, Rebecca Yarros, comes a sweeping romance about the sustained power of chance encounters.

When Izzy Astor gets on a plane to go home, she isn’t expecting much. It’s the usual holiday travel experience: busy, crowded, stressful.

Then she spots her seatmate, who is anything but ordinary. Nate Phelan sports dark hair, blue eyes, and a deliciously rugged charm that Izzy can’t resist. Their connection is undeniable. Izzy never believed in destiny before, but she does now.

Just ninety seconds after takeoff, their plane goes down in the Missouri River.

Their lives change. They change. Nate goes on to a career in the military while Izzy finds her way into politics. Despite a few chance encounters over the years, the timing never feels right.

Then comes a high-stakes reunion in Afghanistan, where Nate is tasked with protecting Izzy’s life.

He’ll do anything to keep her safe. And everything to win her heart.

Critic reviews

“Yarros explores the horrors of war and the aftermath of traumatic experiences. Her authentic characters feel equally strong and vulnerable, and their will-they-won’t-they hits all the right notes…Readers are sure to be moved.” —Publishers Weekly

“An undeniable connection between two people amidst chaos intertwines to pack a satisfying emotional punch.” —Heidi McLaughlin, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author

“In the Likely Event is propulsive. It grips you from the moment Izzy and Nate lay eyes on each other and never lets you go. I couldn't stop reading, swooning, or letting my jaw drop with every twist and turn the story took. But you're always safe in Rebecca Yarros's hands.” —Ali Rosen, James Beard nominated host of Potluck with Ali

What a wonderful story to get lost in… the time jumps are a little distracting but the story itself is so wonderful. Great choice of narrators. So easy to get invested in the story. I wish it was another hour or two longer. Pure bliss. Absolutely loved it!

Oh my, be still my heart.

My first book by Rebecca and I really enjoyed her writing. She blended past & present well.

I also enjoyed the characters themselves and was brought into their world seamlessly.

I struggle with one thing and it left a bad taste in my mouth that was hard to ignore. Maybe it's just a pet-peeve of mine, I don't know, but I don't like how much sleeping around Izzy and Nate did once they've met. It was like an open relationship, but like it wasn't? I don't know. It gave me the ick.
I love when a couple meet for the first time and their world is changed. Not this concept of looking forward to seeing them again but having side relationships on the way? It watered down their relationship.

The possibilities

Story was enjoyable enough. Nothing special really. If you’re a romance fan, you’ll like this. Loved the male narrator. The female, not so much. I hated listening to her sections. She read like some customer service prerecorded phone service. “For information, press 1”, this was the vibe she gave. Grated on my last nerve. I almost gave up listening because of her. Would have given this 5 stars all around but for her performance.
