Back to Serendipity
Synopsis
No one knows where life takes you, yet everyone has a path. For Kevin McGregor, a seminal moment that alters his course is the night he meets Liz Hampton. Their meeting is truly episodic as neither are searching to find someone. Nevertheless, they quickly begin dating and eventually get married and start a family. However, after a few years, the externalities of life encroach upon their happiness severing their communication and creating distance between them. Even worse, Kevin is struggling to find his stride in his new career and the McGregor's are under financial duress.
Their relationship gets even more strained when Kevin tells Liz at the last minute that he is staying home from a family trip to finish a paper for graduate school. In an exasperated state, Liz quickly finishes packing the car and pulls down the driveway with tearful eyes leaving Kevin and their dog Rigby behind.
The next day, a despondent Kevin stumbles upon a book about the journey of two people that fortuitously meet but are forced apart by a random event. After several years, the two eventually find their way back to each other as fate gives them a second chance. The relatable story prompts Kevin to reflect on his own life which ultimately sends him back to serendipity.

This is a delightful book that is hard to put down. I really enjoyed the story within a story, and became invested in what happened to the characters from both stories. Smooth transitions between the two stories helped make this a throughly enjoyable tale.

Premiere Book by this author and I hope it’s not the last! I found it refreshing that the book was written from the male Point of view. Nice transition between the two stories. Well worth the read!
