The One That Got Away
Autor Charlotte Rixonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 apr 2025
Two years together.
Twenty years apart.
One day to change their story.
2000. Benjamin's world is turned upside down the night he meets Clara. Instinctively, he knows that they are meant for each other, but a devastating mistake on their last night at university will take their lives in very different directions.
20 years later, Clara has a high-profile job and a handsome husband. But despite the trappings of success, she isn't happy, and she knows that a piece of her heart still belongs to Benjamin, the boy she fell in love with years earlier. The boy whose life she fears she ruined.
When a bombing is reported in the city where they first met, Clara is pulled back to a place she tries not to remember and the first love she could never forget. Searching for Benjamin, Clara is forced to confront the events that tore them apart. But is it too late to put right what went wrong?
Across the miles and spanning decades, Charlotte Rixon's The One That Got Away is a sweeping, poignant story about growing up, growing apart, the people who first steal our hearts, and the surprising, winding roads that love can take us on, for readers of Jill Santopolo, Rosie Walsh, and Colleen Hoover.

Two years together. Twenty years apart. One day to change their story.
Benjamin's world is turned upside down the day he meets Clara. Instinctively, he knows that she is his person and he is hers, but the events of one devastating night will take their lives in very different directions.
20 years later, a bombing is reported in the city where Clara and Ben met, and she is pulled back to a place she tries not to remember and the first love she could never forget. Searching for Ben, Clara prays that twenty years of silence is about to end.
But is it too late to put right what went wrong?
This is not a love story. But it is a story of first love, of the mistakes people make, and the lengths they'll go to put things right.
***
For fans of Colleen Hoover and Rosie Walsh: this book will break your heart... then put it back together.

Recenzii
Hard-hitting, gripping and emotional
This is a cleverly written and thought-provoking novel... We are treated to a touching and evocative portrayal of first love... a real and raw examination of lost opportunities and harsh realities
Colleen Hoover's books were the star of the show in 2022 - however Charlotte Rixon has released a rival novel!
It is a romance... But it is so much more than that as we unpick their lives afterwards... it's all told really cleverly, the present day unfolding alongside their young love
Poignant... a modern tale of love and loss
If you love Sally Rooney and Colleen Hoover, this book is one for you!
