“A modern-day love story with an old-fashioned warmth.”—Debbie Johnson, author of Maybe One Day

Up-and-coming musician Tom thinks he met the love of his life one night a year ago, but thanks to a made-up girlfriend, he’s pretty sure he’s never going to see her again. If it weren’t for the painkillers the doctor had given him for his dislocated shoulder, he could’ve explained what really happened. But now the moment for explanations has gone, so he just keeps writing songs about her in the wild hope that she’ll hear one on the radio and understand.

Jess thinks she met a cheating liar one night a year ago, but much to her chagrin, she can’t seem to stop thinking about him. When she finally decides to take it upon herself to tell Tom’s girlfriend what happened that night, she finds out that the truth isn’t quite what she thought it was. But by then it’s too late—she’s headed to the other side of the world to launch her comedy career.

As the years go by, Tom and Jess are never far from each other’s thoughts. But every time it seems that there might be a way for them to move forward, something else conspires to keep them apart. In life and in love, timing is everything—but will Tom and Jess ever manage to get it right?

Critic reviews

“Fun, funny, and totally uplifting, Perfect Timing is the ideal modern love story. Owen Nicholls gives us characters who are flawed enough to believe wholeheartedly but lovable enough to root for desperately. Simply put, it’s a joy of a book.”—Matthew Norman, author of Last Couple Standing and All Together Now

Great story. ?

Are some of the last chapters repeats? tha rest of the story is fun to listen to

So good

I listened to Love, Unscripted using my free credit. I loved it so much I purchased this one right after finishing it. Such a good story. The two narratives being told are well performed. Both characters you go through stages of loving and hating. Beautiful arcs.

Special and full of heart.

Anyone in their twenties needs to read this book. It's quite the companion for the moments it's in your hands, but it's deep in your mind when it's not. You'll relate to more than you thought you would, and learn more than you thought you could.
