This Wasn't Meant to Happen

'A beautiful, brave, important book…filled with light, hope and so much love' Sunday Times Bestseller Paige Toon –-

This wasn’t meant to happen. But it did.

Sofie Jensen knows the safest way to live is by staying in control. And she knows that love can come with a cost.

But what she doesn’t know is that one unexpected moment will change everything. Because meeting Rory and falling in love wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was becoming pregnant or losing her baby.

Sofie doesn’t know how she’ll survive this kind of grief – but she knows life will never be the same again…

Told with quiet strength and breathtaking honesty, This Wasn’t Meant to Happen is a powerful portrait of love, grief and the tender, complicated path back to hope. 'Oh my heart.
