The Girl He Used to Know

by Tracey Garvis Graves

'The most riveting, rewarding, refreshing novel I've read in years' - Barbara Delinsky, bestselling author

What if you had a second chance at first love?

Annika Rose likes being alone.
She feels lost in social situations, saying the wrong thing or acting the wrong way. She just can't read people. She prefers the quiet solitude of books or playing chess to being around others. Apart from Jonathan. She liked being around him, but she hasn't seen him for ten years. Until now that is. And she's not sure he'll want to see her again after what happened all those years ago.

Annika Rose likes being alone.
Except that, actually, she doesn't like being alone at all.

The Girl He Used to Know is an uplifting novel full of surprising revelations that keep you turning the page. Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Gail Honeyman, Jill Santopolo and Sliding Doors.

*I received a free copy of The Girl He Used to Know from St. Martin's Press via NetGalley. This has in no way influenced my review which is honest and unbiased.*

What an emotional story! Annika really had trouble with a lot of social interactions. However, she grew so much between her college years and ten years after! Still not fully fluent in social cues, she still managed to live her life, have a job she loved, and interact with more people than in the past.

Jonathan is the kind of hero that makes me swoon. He was fully capable to fight for a relationship he believed in. And he trusted that Annika would get there, too.

Full review to come.
