Es beginnt wie in einem Traum. Um halb acht Uhr abends betritt Sabrina ein New Yorker Restaurant, um nach guter alter Tradition mit ihrer besten Freundin Jessica Geburtstag zu feiern. Als sie durch die Tür tritt, traut sie ihren Augen nicht: Neben Jess erwarten sie dort in bester Feierlaune Sabrinas ehemaliger Philosophie-Professor, ihr Vater, ihr Ex-Verlobter Tobias – und Audrey Hepburn. Sie alle sind Wunschgäste einer geheimen Liste, die Sabrina vor langer Zeit anfertigte. Sabrina ist verzaubert und verwirrt, ihren Vater hat sie seit 20 Jahren nicht gesehen und Tobias, ihre große Liebe, stahl sich urplötzlich aus ihrem Leben. Darf sie auf eine zweite Chance hoffen? Und dann ist da ja auch noch Audrey Hepburn ...

This was pretty good. Definitely an interesting idea. I didn't really care for Sabrina though, and only kept reading because I wanted to know what happened, which I guess means I liked it? I know not everyone has to be likeable, but... she seemed very young and trying too hard for someone turning thirty.
Another unexpected story set out in such an interesting way. Although i find the layout of the past/present to be slow moving, i deeply enjoyed this book. The focus on loss/grief in it's many different forms is presented so well. Rebecca Serle always has me tearing up
I was expecting more out of this. I feel like the revelation that Tobias was dead happened too soon. I can't keep rooting for a couple if one of them is dead, especially if they aren't really that great of a couple to begin with. I think if this book wasn't marketed as romance, I would have liked it more. The setting of the dinner with the 5 different people was interesting. The little sister's letters and deciding to have a relationship with her at the end was the only redeeming plot point. I just didn't like much else.
