Description
From New York Times bestselling author Sarah Jio comes an escapist novel following a young woman stuck in a “time loop” of one-day relationships with romantic partners from her past.
“An ingenious and heartfelt love story. I absolutely adored this novel!” —Emily Giffin, #1 New York Times bestselling author
What if you could have a second chance to say “yes” to the one who got away?
Lena Westbrook, a perfectionist and workaholic, has carefully planned and orchestrated every detail of her life—career, love, and everything in between. So when her boyfriend of two years lets her down on the night she expects him to propose, she’s heartbroken and confused. Lena flees to her beloved aunt’s home on Seattle’s picturesque Bainbridge Island to lick her wounds. The familiarity of home is a relief. But when she awakens the next morning, she’s no longer in a cottage nestled on the Puget Sound, but rather in a chic Parisian apartment—with a handsome French man who thinks Lena is his wife.
From the elegant neighborhoods of Paris and the sparkling skyline of New York City to the charming landscape of Kinsale, Ireland, and many other unexpected destinations in between, each time Lena wakes up, she finds herself somewhere else with someone else. In each experience, she’s given a glimpse of what life might have looked like had she chosen the “road not taken.” And as she becomes more clear-sighted about her past decisions, Lena begins to wonder: Were any of these former romantic encounters actually...significant?
Lively and surprising, poignant and heartfelt, Insignificant Others is an enchanting, upbeat novel that explores the relatable and resonant “what ifs” of life, but most especially, love.
