What if what could have been is still to come MIX TAPE is the novel that's taken the media by storm- 'Fantastic, moving, beautiful' Daily Mail; 'A nostalgic delight' Sunday Mirror; 'This grown-up love story is gorgeously written' Good Housekeeping 'This grown-up love story is gorgeously written and romantic without being sentimental' Good Housekeeping 'This tender tale of second chances... is a nostalgic delight' Sunday Mirror You never forget the one that got away. Daniel was the first boy to make Alison a mix tape. But that was years ago and Ali hasn't thought about him in a very long time. Even if she had, she might not have called him 'the one that got away'; after all, she'd been the one to run. Then Dan's name pops up on her phone, with a link to a song from their shared past. For two blissful minutes, Alison is no longer an adult in Adelaide with temperamental daughters; she is sixteen in Sheffield, dancing in her skin-tight jeans. She cannot help but respond in kind. And so begins a new mix tape. Ali and Dan exchange songs - some new, some old - across oceans and time zones, across a lifetime of different experiences, until one of them breaks the rules and sends a message that will change everything. __________ Readers are falling in love with Mix Tape!
