Mix Tape

You never forget the one that got away. But what if ‘what could have been’ is yet to come?

*
Daniel was the first boy to make Alison a mix tape.

But that was years ago and Ali hasn’t thought about him in a very long time. Even if she had, she might not have called him ‘the one that got away’; after all, she’d been the one to run.

Then Dan’s name pops up on her phone, with a link to a song from their shared past.

For two blissful minutes, Alison is no longer an adult in Adelaide with temperamental daughters; she is sixteen in Sheffield, dancing in her skin-tight jeans. She cannot help but respond in kind.

And so begins a new mix tape.

Ali and Dan exchange songs – some new, some old – across oceans and time zones, across a lifetime of different experiences, until one of them breaks the rules and sends a message that will change everything…

Because what if ‘what could have been’ is yet to come?

Nu il uiti niciodata pe cel care a scapat. Dar daca „ce ar fi putut fi” va veni inca? * Daniel a fost primul baiat care a facut din Alison o banda mixta. Dar asta a fost cu ani in urma si Ali nu s-a gandit la el de foarte mult timp.
