ONE OF THE BEST FEEL-GOOD BOOKS OF 2021 BY THE WASHINGTON POST

“I read Eight Perfect Hours in one sitting, in four perfect hours, because I couldn’t bear to put it down without knowing the ending.” —Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

In this romantic and heartwarming novel, two strangers meet in chance circumstances during a blizzard and spend one perfect evening together, thinking they’ll never see each other again. But fate seems to have different plans. From the acclaimed author of the “swoon-worthy…rom-com” (The Washington Post) Dear Emmie Blue.

On a snowy evening in March, thirty-something Noelle Butterby is on her way back from an event at her old college when disaster strikes. With a blizzard closing off roads, she finds herself stranded, alone in her car, without food, drink, or a working charger for her phone.

All seems lost until Sam Attwood, a handsome American stranger also trapped in a nearby car, knocks on her window and offers assistance. What follows is eight perfect hours together, until morning arrives and the roads finally clear. The two strangers part, positive they’ll never see each other again but fate, it seems, has a different plan. As the two keep serendipitously bumping into one another, they begin to realize that perhaps there truly is no such thing as coincidence.

With plenty of charming twists and turns and Lia Louis’s “bold, standout voice” (Gillian McAllister, author of The Good Sister), Eight Perfect Hours is a gorgeously crafted novel that will make you believe in the power of fate.

Amazing narrator. Incredibly moving & thought-provoking story, beautifully written. Heart wrenching yet ultimately uplifting. So many takeaways to consider- but the best is probably “Act now & Panic later”. My own life is a version of this story, and so it was particularly meaningful for me. Cannot recommend this author and this book and this narrator enough. A 10 out of 5 stars!

WOW-One of the best books I have ever read!

The beginning started pretty good. Emma Powell's version of a man's voice seemed a stretch. Her version of an American accent was just plain terrible. So listening to her do an American male voice turned into a bit of a trial. The story also seemed to drag a bit long. So I was relieved when it finally got to its predictable ending. I think I would've enjoyed this story more if I read it. I could've skipped over some of the sappy parts and had better voices in my head for all the men!

American accent is not good
