About this listen

Winner of the Launch Pad Writing Competition 2022

In this witty and heartfelt debut love story for fans of Josie Silver's One Day in December, a woman stranded in Paris for the day discovers that the wrong road can sometimes lead us in the right direction.

When Hannah and her boyfriend, Simon, set out to Amsterdam, they’re confident that they’ll make it to his sister’s wedding in time. However, unbeknownst to them, their train is scheduled to divide in the middle of the night. And when it does, half of it continues the route to Amsterdam. And the other half—the one with Hannah in it—heads three hundred miles away, to Paris.

Left without her belongings or hope of reuniting with Simon, Hannah has no choice but to spend the day in Paris before the next train out. Worse than being stranded in a foreign city alone? Being stuck with Léo, the handsome but infuriating Frenchman who blames Hannah for his own unwanted delay. The series of mishaps that sends them traipsing through the City of Light is only further proof that Hannah’s day has gone from bad to worse. But as she takes in the glorious sights of the city—and spends more time with Léo—Hannah discovers that the unexpected detour might actually be leading her to the life she was always meant to live . . .

Critic reviews

"Decadent fun in Brown's debut romcom. Fans of Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic series may also enjoy this.” (Booklist)

“A young woman spends an unexpected, unstructured day in Paris in Lorraine Brown’s heartfelt debut.” (Bustle)

"Fresh, charming and wonderfully escapist." (Beth O'Leary, author of The Flatshare)

Cute story. Refreshing ending.

My family and I really enjoyed this story and it’s performance for a variety of reasons. In a way it’s a coming of age, learning to find your own voice/your truth, reconciling unspoken words or the thought of knowing what’s going on with someone else, per se, and finding your own strength/courage kind of story. I enjoyed the ending especially because it was better than most non-fictional relationships go about things, let alone the norm of a RomCom ending. Really looking forward to listening to it again. I may check out some of her other works if they’re just a good.
Still, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you decide to purchase-I’m not.

Engaging

I enjoyed this novel. I thought the narrator did a great job with the voices. The story was interesting, the characters were realistic, the dialogue was believable, as were the conflicts. Overall, an entertaining and engaging read.

Light and pleasant…

I light romance with some humour and plausible scenarios. Great travel or vacation listen that doesn’t require you to think too much about details and keeps you smiling.

Good

As always it wouldn’t be the same without Imogen’s performance. It was lighthearted and I appreciated the accurate descriptions of Paris. I found the characters relatable as well.
