When Jasmine loses the job that defined her entire identity, she finds herself adrift—until insomnia turns her into an accidental voyeur of her neighbor Matt's life across the way. Matt, a controversial shock jock also banished from his work, seems like everything she'd naturally despise, but as these two broken-down overachievers begin to really see each other, there's an unexpected warmth brewing between them. With Cecelia Ahern's signature blend of humor and heart, this is a story about finding connection when you've lost your footing, and discovering that sometimes the person you least expect to understand you is exactly who you need. It's a tender, uplifting reminder that healing often comes from the most surprising places.
