If you knew beyond all doubt that one chance encounter would change the course of your future, what would you choose? There’s nothing like a spring day in Boston to make your heart sing. I’m out with my girls, having drinks in a bar, enjoying the bright pulse of our beautiful city, when I see Caleb. The second my eyes meet his, I know this is the moment when everything will change. All I have to do is choose him. I meet Whitney on the worst day of my life. I’ve always been an adrenaline junkie, but I never knew how fast things could change. Her soft gaze melts my cynicism, makes me forget the bitter man I was becoming. She makes me want to be the version of myself that I see in her eyes. All she has to do is choose this life. When We Met takes Whitney and Caleb on the ride of their lives, hitting every note on the scale of beauty and tragedy along the way. USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann will make you question everything you thought you knew about love and fate, and this unforgettable story will leave you certain that destiny always finds a way.

When I first saw the cover and sign up for ‘When We Met’, I found myself intrigued by this book. Although it is part of a series, it’s a standalone, so I knew it wouldn’t be a problem that I hadn’t read a book by this author before. The book description of ‘When We Met’ just really made me curious, and I was over the moon when I received the ARC.

In ‘When We Met’ we read about Whitney and Caleb, and how one decision can change the course of your life. Whitney is a RN in a hospital in Boston, where she works during the Boston Marathon bombings. And Caleb, is the heir of a very successful firm that makes him a lot of money. Whitney and Caleb meet the day of the bombing, and their life changes immediately. They have this connection and instant chemistry, and the both make each other’s lives better.

What I expected to read in this book was some nice Romance. What I didn’t expect was this emotional roller coaster that made me tear up multiple times. (Damn you pregnancy hormones!! Although I’m pretty sure I would have teared up if I wasn’t pregnant too.) This book is told in different parts, and although I didn’t expect it, I loved that. It definitely kept me wanting to keep on reading, and I finished this book in a day.

The two main characters where definitely fun and easy to love. Especially Whitney. As a nurse myself, I rarely read about female lead characters that are nurses, so I loved the fact that Whitney was one. She sure was a much kinder and compassionate nurse then I am to be honest. And there where things she did as a nurse I didn’t get. But I loved her!

Caleb was one of those characters that changed right when he met the ‘right’ woman. And I loved that! I loved how he was rich, but wasn’t arrogant and just wanted to make life better for Whitney. We also read about Whitney’s best friend Emily. And I really hope we get to read more about her someday. I loved how quirky and fun she was.

So what was so emotional about this read? Well.. obviously the whole Boston Marathon bombing was a thing. And their where some moments you’ll just have to read for yourself, that where heartbreaking and touching. I can’t really say to much about it without giving things away. But ‘When We Met’ definitely blew my mind, and I wouldn’t have wanted to miss this read for the world.
