"How is it possible to know someone you've never met?
With her marriage already in pieces, Joyce Conway nearly lost everything else. But she survived the terrible accident that left her hospitalized--and now, inexplicably, she can remember faces she has never seen, cobblestone Parisian streets she's never visited. A sudden, overwhelming sense of deja vu has Joyce feeling as if her life is not her own.
Justin Hitchcock's decision to donate blood was the first thing to come straight from his heart in a long time. He chased his ex-wife and daughter from Chicago to London--and now, restless and lonely, he lectures to bored college students in Dublin. But everything is about to change with the arrival of a basket of muffins with a thank-you note enclosed--the first in a series of anonymous presents that will launch Justin into the heart of a mystery . . . and alter two lives forever."

I had mixed feelings about this book. While I did really like the story and the whole idea behind it, I did find that there were a lot of slow spots. I also loved the characters, especially Joyce's father, but I wish that the two main characters would have spent more actual time together. My favorite thing about Ahern's novels is that she always adds a small dose of magic, and this one was no different and it definitely makes for an entertaining read. Overall, it was a good story; humorous, and fairly entertaining and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a fairly light read.
I gave this book a 3/5 on my GoodReads.
