After a heated argument, Clara’s fiancé stormed out of their apartment, but before they had a chance to reconcile, he died in a tragic accident. It has been two years, but she’s still paralyzed with grief, and her friends are worried about her. So, to try to say what was left unsaid, she starts texting his old phone. What she doesn’t realize is that the number has been reassigned.
 
Across town, Sven’s phone begins receiving mysterious but heartfelt text messages. He doesn’t respond, but he is captivated by the sender.

      Natalie Naudus and Barrett Leddy narrate an audiobook soon to be a movie. Months after Clara's fianc� suddenly died, she starts sending messages to his phone number, hoping to come to terms with his death. Unbeknownst to her, his number has been reassigned to Sven, a reporter who lives in another town. Sven is determined to track down the author of the mysterious texts. Naudus's narration experience shows as she deftly brings Clara to life and realistically portrays male figures. However, secondary female characters frequently sound over-the-top. A less experienced narrator, Leddy gives an enthusiastic performance that often misses. Some variation in the production's volume requires frequent sound-level adjustments.

      The narrating duo Natalie Naudus and Barrett Leddy introduce us to Clara and Sven, the central characters in Cramer first novel to be translated into English. Two years after her fianc� Ben dies in a sudden and tragic accident, Clara continues to be crushed by guilt and grief. Looking for closure, Clara starts to send emotional texts to his old cell phone, not realizing that the number now belongs to someone else. Across town and amid a heartbreak, Sven begins receiving her text messages, and together they embark on a unique romantic adventure. The novel's premise is appealing, but something fundamental is lost in translation and affects everything--dialogue, pace, character development, chemistry. Naudus gives a heartfelt performance as Clara, but other characters' voices become exaggerated at times. Leddy's voice is bright and youthful but perhaps too boyish. There's much potential for Cramer's novel, but this feels like a rough draft; not even the talented narration can rescue this one. VERDICT This book will soon be released as a major motion picture starring Sam Heughan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, but the audio remains a strictly optional purchase.--Emily Pykare
