Book Synopsis
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK Their lives began together, but their worlds couldn't be more different. After thirty years of missed connections, they're about to meet again... Minnie Cooper knows two things with certainty: that her New Year's birthday is unlucky, and that it's all because of Quinn Hamilton, a man she's never met. Their mothers gave birth to them at the same hospital just after midnight on New Year's Day, but Quinn was given the cash prize for being the first baby born in London in 1990--and the name Minnie was meant to have, as well. With luck like that, it's no wonder each of her birthdays has been more of a disaster than the one before. When Minnie unexpectedly runs into Quinn at a New Year's party on their mutual thirtieth birthday, she sees only more evidence that fortune has continued to favor him. The gorgeous, charming business owner truly seems to have it all--while Minnie's on the brink of losing her pie-making company and her home. But if Quinn and Minnie are from different worlds, why do they keep bumping into each other? And why is it that each fraught encounter leaves them both wanting more? A moving, joyful love story, This Time Next Year explores the way fate leads us to the people we least expect--no matter what the odds.Review Quotes

The characters are highly unlikeable. I didn’t finish it because it was so bad.

“I don’t think the scale of other peoples problems makes your own easier to live with.” * * This quote! This Time Next Year has one of the most annoying characters I’ve read in awhile. Minnie is convinced she is unlucky for her birthday, January 1st, and complains for 325 pages (there are 330 total) of this book. I’ve seen others describe her as quirky and I think that fits too, but I stand by my first opinion. Lol. The unlikeable characters mixed with the nonlinear timeline, slow burn, and quick ending just didn’t work for me. I enjoyed the London setting the most and have added it to my travel wishlist!
