Synopsis: When Minnie meets Quinn at a NYE party, it’s clear that they’ve got nothing in common – except for the strange fact of their being born in the same place at the same time on New Year’s Eve. A crazy coincidence, but not a reason to pursue a friendship, and definitely not an excuse for Quinn to hope for something more.
He is a privileged party boy who believes the world is his for the taking. She is a hard-working realist, whose lack of confidence tends to hold her back.
Opposites don’t really attract…it’s not like this is a rom-com, right?
The clock strikes midnight, their moment passes, and another year begins. But if Quinn and Minnie are from different worlds, why do they keep bumping into each other? And why is it that each frustrating interaction somehow seems to push their lives in the right direction? Could it be that instead of clashing, their different outlooks might complement each other? Perhaps now is the time for them to finally come together...

My Review:
I requested this on Netgalley back in April but recently got invited onto the blog tour and I’m glad I didn’t say no as I really enjoyed this book and the story between Minnie and Quinn.
I’m sure people will be comparing this to Our Stop, but I found this a lot more interesting and less infuriating when you realise they’ve between intwined all fo their lives. Literally -n they was born ad the same hospital on the same time, just Quinn is a few minutes older and managed to steal the title of being the first baby borned in anew year in London which meant they received a lot of money and different money opportunities.
Where as Minnie was born Minnie Cooper - yes you can imagine the jokes she must of got all through her life! Her mum always said you would of been luckier and better off in life if you was Quinn Cooper (poor Minnnie!)
The book goes through different years of both of their lives and shows how they have know each other all their lives(without knowing - some bits are super cute: especially when they was at the club on NYE.
The chapters I also enjoyed when both Minnie and Quinn was when they was at the ponds on Sundays and having bacon rolls, it was just a sweet wa they was getting on with over showing themselves.
I also loved Lelia - Minnie’s best friend who is also her business partner in Delivery pies for the vulnerable and the elderly. They’ve had some great adventures - the chapters when they was in India was hilarious!
I also enjoyed reading about the two girls working for the pie business: Fleur and Beverly. Fleur is someone who is always making up outrageous stories about friends and past lovers but are they actually true? - Read it to find out!
I also found Beverly a lovely character who is elderly but is worried about her impact on the world and the environment - so much so getting a reusable shampoo bottle!
Overall, I think you should go and buy this book as it;s so interesting and doesn’t just focus on the love relationship
Also there are some triggers in this book: miscarriage, cheating and depression
