About this listen

2024’s most unforgettable romance that will give you ALL the feels! From the queen of the 'what if' love story

‘It's the sort of story which makes you want to say, I love you, to everyone you care about the most in your life,’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dan is Emma’s person. She’s known it since the first time she saw him dressed in lederhosen on the tube.

On their fifteen year ‘dateversary’, Emma texts a list of everything she should have told Dan that morning.

Tell the kids to remember their homework…
And their gloves.
Can you defrost some sausages?

Emma just forgets to write the most important words of all – I love you – and by the end of the day everything changes.

Or does it? Emma is given the chance to rewrite their future – if she can just figure out their past…

Escape with the most uplifting and emotional love story of the year. Perfect for fans of The Man Who Didn’t Call and Jojo Moyes!

With me being a fulltime mom, I could see myself doing the same mistakes Emma did at times. Prioritising silly things over what is important. This book puts everything into prospective. Showing how easy it is to give for granted what is important and how easy it is to judge a situation before you see the full picture.

Emotional, Powerful and Heartbreaking. Loved every minute!

Maybe Next Time is one of the most emotionally resonant audiobooks I’ve listened to in a long time. Cesca Major delivers a stunning blend of lyrical writing, emotional depth, and a unique narrative structure that keeps you completely engrossed from beginning to end. It’s thought-provoking, tender and beautifully observed.

The story unfolds in a way that feels both intimate and universal — exploring themes of love, time, family, and the choices we make in everyday life. What makes this book exceptional is its ability to make you reflect on your own routines and relationships without ever becoming heavy-handed.

The narration is top-tier. The voice performance is filled with nuance and warmth, drawing you in and holding your attention with just the right balance of energy and emotion. It elevates the entire listening experience.

This is a story that lingers — the kind you finish and immediately want to recommend to someone you love. If you’re looking for an audiobook that will move you, make you think, and stay with you long after the last chapter.
Maybe Next Time is a must.

I can see why people rate it as it was definitely not boring but u found it predictable and cheesy. I read it as part of my book club and it's not my usual choice so if u like heart warming slightly predictable and cheesy stories you'll love it it was an easy read just not for me

ok but totally predictable
