I thought it was very slow for anything happening between them I mean it was page like 250 before something actually happened. I loved Clive. Felt we could've heard a bit more of their relationship developed. Overall a cute read

Sorry I Missed You is the second book I've read my Lorraine Brown and I have to say I preferred The Paris Connection, that book completely had me hooked with the plot and characters. Where as this plot was slow but had great loveable characters.
I did love the slow element to the plot as it gave you time to get to know the two main characters really well, each chapter was from different points of view. Jack and Rebecca's friendship was slow burning but I loved getting an in-depth insight into thier feelings and how their lives were going.
Only because I loved her first book more is this not a five star read.

A sweet romance story told in alternative pov, with characters that make me want to be their friend in real life and sometimes to even give them a real talk or a hug.
Both Jack and Rebecca have a lot on their plate and while trying to wave through their busy life, there’s a spark of what ifs between them from the moment they met. Even if the start is not exactly what you will think, the story takes us into a learning to know each other and ending into that fine line between friendship and feelings stronger than that. Now, Clive? That’s someone that I want just for myself.
A heartwarming romance that all fans of the genre will enjoy.

I really enjoyed this lovely story where we hear from the POV’s of both Jack and Rebecca in alternating chapters. They start off on the wrong foot so can they turn things around?
I loved the character Clive who was their elderly neighbour he was such a loveable guy.
I recommend this one for a great feel good read. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Thank you to Orion Books for inviting me on the blog tour and for the gifted copy of the book.

Sorry I Missed You is a lovely slow burn romance between Jack and Rebecca who live in neighbouring flats. Jack is a struggling actor, 10 years out of drama school whereas Rebecca is flying high in her marketing job and looking forward to promotion. When they first meet, they make negative assumptions about each other and it takes a while before the chemistry between them begins to take effect.
This is quite a slow paced book told by Jack and Rebecca in alternate chapters and there is a lot about their working lives which I really enjoyed especially Jack’s struggles to find a decent acting role. The secondary characters are fun, especially Rebecca’s work colleagues and the elderly neighbour Clive who is lonely and worried that Jack will end up alone like him.
I loved the way that the two characters fell into friendship and gradually began to realise that this could be something more. I think that the lack of confidence both of them felt about relationships is something that a lot of people will be able to relate to.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would definitely recommend. Thank to Net Galley and Orbit for providing this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
