A heartwarming romantic comedy about fate, missed chances, and the unexpected paths that lead us to love.
Born on New Year’s Day at the same London hospital, Minnie Cooper and Quinn Hamilton have crossed paths many times without realizing it. Thirty years later, fate finally brings them together — and the result is a charming, funny, and emotional story about timing, destiny, and second chances.
 
In This Time Next Year, Sophie Cousens spins a heartwarming romantic tale that celebrates fate, love, and all the near-misses that lead us where we’re meant to be.
