Synopsis

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you suddenly looked into the eyes of your handsome ex-boyfriend, at a romantic wedding in Rome ... far away from your husband? Helen is almost forty and her boobs are starting to go south. She’s also happily married to Mark. But why, then, can’t she stop staring at ex-fiancée Rob’s big blue eyes from the minute she finds him on Facebook? And why does she agree to go to a mutual friend’s wedding in Rome—accompanied by her very loud and touristy mom and even louder gin & tonic drinking friend, Lori—when she knows he will be there? It can only mean one thing: Trouble. Things don’t get less complicated when Helen finds out that Mark is going on a business trip with his perfect ex-girlfriend (with perfect perky boobs) at the same time somewhere in Germany. Or when he suddenly shows up in Rome unannounced. A fun, warmhearted, and compelling story, The One That Got Away is a novel about a lot of what if’s, how we often take love for granted, and how life doesn’t always have to be picture perfect. “If you love a fast-paced story, with snappy dialogue and lots of humor and heart, this is the book for you.”

About this title

About the Author

My first novel, Miss Apple Pants, took me YEARS to finish! Into chapter 3, I got pregnant with twins. Trying to write a novel with one hand, and change diapers and make baby food with the other (and play soccer with one leg) can take you off course. But when Alfred went to school, and the twins turned 3, my novel finally took off and here--2 years later--I look at the front cover and CRY! I finally dared--not afraid whether I would fail or succeed, suck or be a great writer. Now, when people ask what I do, I tell them I'm a mom and a writer. I don't make any apologies for myself anymore--I look them straight in the eye and say: "Yes, I'm a writer!" It took me a long way to get here--physically: about 7000 miles; mentally: light years! I live in Seattle with my husband Jeppe, and my 3 kids: Alfred and the twincesses Emma and Olivia. When I'm not "Mom," I spend all my free time writing, re-writing, researching, reading, observing people, and making stories and characters in my head (and speak with them a little, too). My favorite spot is my local Starbucks, where my imagination runs wild--or works as a sponge soaking up whatever I encounter. The world is by far the greatest inspiration! Please visit me on www.charlotterothbooks.com if you want to read more about my book(s) or leave a comment--oh yeah, and see that infamous cover that makes me cry. Welcome to my world of writing. I hope you enjoy it.
