Mix Tape

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 ¨C some new, some old ¨C 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?
