Izzy doesn’t believe in love at first sight, but when Sam walks into the cafe where she works one winter’s morning, she knows without a doubt that he’s The One. Too bad Sam’s getting married. Today.
Nearly a year later, Izzy still can’t stop thinking about Sam, the one that got away, but she knows it’s time to move on: he’s a married man and probably wouldn’t recognise her if he passed her on the street.
But Sam has never forgotten Izzy, the funny, gorgeous woman who asked him out on his wedding day. If the timing had only been better, he knows they could have had something wonderful.
When Izzy and Sam’s paths finally cross again, everything has changed. But with the Atlantic Ocean and decades of baggage between them, they are about to find out whether some obstacles are too big for even true love to overcome.
Jo Lovett lives in London with her family.
She worked in Corporate Tax before taking a longer-than-expected career break to have more-than-expected children (five). She started writing romantic comedy when she realised that she was regularly begging her oldest son to let her do his English homework but she wasn't actually that interested in haunted houses or Macbeth.
Jo was runner-up in the Good Housekeeping/ Orion First Novel Competition 2018 and shortlisted for the Comedy Women in Print Award 2019.
When she can escape from her laundry mountain and childcare, she enjoys reading, tennis and wine.

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Jo Lovett, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
If you believe in fate and love then you need to read Jo Lovett’s new book The First Time We Met. This is a sweet book that will put a smile on your heart and love in your heart. You will be rooting for Sam and Izzy throughout the whole book!
WOW!! There seemed like there was a spark between Izzy and Sam! She was bold enough to ask him out. What blew my mind was he turned her down-because-he was getting married that afternoon!! My heart ached for Izzy.
Fate has brought Sam and Izzy together on and off throughout the years. Each time their connection got stronger.
I love that Izzy had such a rewarding career in Speech Pathology and really loved it.
She was able to help Sam’s son with his stutter after he was in an accident.
Jo breaks the book up into four parts.
Sam’s two kids pulled on my heart strings! They were too adorable! Sam was lucky to have them. My heart ached as they lost their mom at such a young age.
I loved the email exchanges between Sam and Izzy back and forth.
Even though Sam Izzy’s life there was another man in her life. Dominic the father of Izzy's daughter. They still have a friendship.
There was a very shocking and pleasant turn of events at the end that put a smile on my face!
