A heartwarming story of love, loss, serendipity, and texting.

Now a major motion picture starring Sam Heughan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas.

After a heated argument, Clara’s fiancé stormed out of their apartment, but before they had a chance to reconcile, he died in a tragic accident. It has been two years, but she’s still paralyzed with grief, and her friends are worried about her. So, to try to say what was left unsaid, she starts texting his old phone. What she doesn’t realize is that the number has been reassigned.
 
Across town, Sven’s phone begins receiving mysterious but heartfelt text messages. He doesn’t respond, but he is captivated by the sender. His own relationship has been on the rocks, and when it ends he sets out to find the person who has been texting him. Neither Sven nor Clara knows what they are setting out to find, but it will change both of their lives forever."A heartfelt, compassionate journey about the messy but real side of love. Stock up on tissues." —USA Today
