About Sophie Cousens
Sophie Cousens started her career in television, where she produced, among other things, The Graham Norton Show, Big Brother, Ant and Dec and Russell Howard’s Good News. Working in TV taught her three things;
1 - Wearing a lanyard makes you look as though you know what you are doing.
2 -The best phrase you can contribute in meetings is "let's action that!"If you say it often enough, hopefully someone else will do your work for you.
3 - If in doubt, find someone wearing a lanyard - they'll know what to do.
Sophie currently lives in Jersey where she now writes full time. She lives with her husband Tim and has two small children who keep her occupied with important questions such as 'but did Cinderella have a toothbrush?' and 'do giraffe's know they have really long necks?' She yearns for a time when she will be able to add a miniature dachshund to the party.

Hopeless romantic and lifestyle reporter Laura’s business trip to the Channel Islands isn’t off to a great start. After an embarrassing encounter with the most attractive man she’s ever seen in real life, she arrives at her hotel and realizes she’s grabbed the wrong suitcase from the airport. Her only consolation is its irresistible contents, each of which intrigues her more and more. The owner of this suitcase is clearly Laura’s dream man. Now, all she has to do is find him.
Besides, what are the odds that she’d find The One on the same island where her parents first met and fell in love, especially as she sets out to write an article about their romance? Commissioning surly cab driver Ted to ferry her around seems like her best bet in both tracking down the mystery suitcase owner and retracing her parents’ footsteps. But as Laura’s mystery man proves difficult to find—and as she uncovers family secrets—she may have to reimagine the life, and love, she always thought she wanted.
A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK
Their lives began together, but their worlds couldn't be more different. After thirty years of missed connections, they're about to meet again...
Minnie Cooper knows two things with certainty: that her New Year's birthday is unlucky, and that it's all because of Quinn Hamilton, a man she's never met. Their mothers gave birth to them at the same hospital just after midnight on New Year's Day, but Quinn was given the cash prize for being the first baby born in London in 1990--and the name Minnie was meant to have, as well. With luck like that, it's no wonder each of her birthdays has been more of a disaster than the one before.
When Minnie unexpectedly runs into Quinn at a New Year's party on their mutual thirtieth birthday, she sees only more evidence that fortune has continued to favor him. The gorgeous, charming business owner truly seems to have it all--while Minnie's on the brink of losing her pie-making company and her home. But if Quinn and Minnie are from different worlds, why do they keep bumping into each other? And why is it that each fraught encounter leaves them both wanting more?
A moving, joyful love story, This Time Next Year explores the way fate leads us to the people we least expect--no matter what the odds.
What would you do if 'the one that got away' turned up the night before your wedding?
Head-in-the-stars Audrey is about to marry down-to-earth Josh. Though they are polar opposites, they have a healthy, stable relationship; Josh is just what Audrey needs. But romance should be unpredictable and full of fireworks, and as the big day approaches, Audrey’s found herself wondering if Josh really is "The One."
So, when Josh’s sister shows up to the rehearsal dinner with Fred, Audrey’s "What If? guy"—the man she met six years ago and had one amazing day with—Audrey finds herself torn. Surely Fred’s appearance the night before she is due to get married can’t be a coincidence. And when everything that could go wrong with the wedding starts to go wrong, Audrey has to ask herself: Is fate trying to stop her from making a huge mistake? Or does destiny just have a really twisty sense of humor?
Laura ist eine hoffnungslose Romantikerin. Als Redakteurin bei einem Lifestyle-Magazin schreibt sie eine Kolumne über die schönsten Kennenlerngeschichten – und glaubt fest daran, dass auch sie und ihr Traummann eines Tages auf ganz besondere Weise zueinander finden werden. Bei einer Reise auf die malerische Kanalinsel Jersey erwischt sie am Gepäckband aus Versehen den falschen Koffer. Und als sie ihren Irrtum im Hotelzimmer bemerkt, stellt sie fest: Dieser Koffer muss ihrem Seelenverwandten gehören! Denn er enthält nicht nur einen grob gestrickten Seemannspulli und ein wunderbar duftendes Parfum, sondern auch Klaviernoten ihrer Lieblingsband und eine zerlesene Ausgabe ihres Lieblingsbuchs. Wenn Laura eine Sache aus ihrem Job gelernt hat, dann ist es, dass man sich gegen das Schicksal nicht wehren kann. Sie macht sich auf, den geheimnisvollen Unbekannten zu finden – und mit ihm ihr großes Happy End. Doch was, wenn das Schicksal ganz andere Pläne für sie hat?
»Sophie Cousens zu lesen ist als träte eine neue beste Freundin in dein Leben. Sie bringt dich zum Lachen, sie bringt dich auch mal zum Weinen, du hast das Gefühl du hast sie schon immer heiß geliebt, und du willst sie niemals mehr gehen lassen.« Clare Pooley, Autorin von »Montags bei Monica«
Zwei Dinge weiß Minnie ganz genau: Dass an ihrem Geburtstag immer alles schiefläuft, was nur schieflaufen kann – und dass ein Mann namens Quinn der Grund dafür ist. Minnie ist ihm noch nie begegnet. Doch sie weiß, dass sie beide am Silvesterabend kurz nach Mitternacht im selben Londoner Krankenhaus geboren wurden. Quinn kam eine Minute früher zur Welt und gewann als erstes Neunzigerjahre-Baby fünfzigtausend Pfund, während Minnie leer ausging. Als sie sich an ihrem gemeinsamen 30. Geburtstag durch einen Zufall kennen lernen, weiß Minnie endgültig, dass Quinn die für sie bestimmte Portion Glück einfach gestohlen hat: Im Leben des gutaussehenden, charmanten Unternehmers läuft alles glatt, während sie kurz davor ist, ihre Wohnung und den geliebten Job als Köchin zu verlieren. Doch wenn sie aus so unterschiedlichen Welten kommen, warum laufen sie sich fortan immer wieder über den Weg? Und warum lässt jede Begegnung Minnies Herz ein bisschen schneller schlagen?
»Genau richtig für einen Tag mit Kuscheldecke und heißer Schokolade. Unglaublich romantisch! Ein Buch wie eine Umarmung.« Josie Silver
Quante possibilità ci sono di incontrare l’anima gemella?
Quinn e Minnie sono nati insieme, ma non potrebbero essere più diversi. Dopo trent’anni adesso stanno per incontrarsi di nuovo... Minnie Cooper sa con certezza due cose: che il suo compleanno, che cade il primo giorno dell’anno, è sfortunato; e che la causa di tutto è Quinn Hamilton, che non ha mai incontrato. Le loro madri li hanno partoriti nello stesso ospedale subito dopo la mezzanotte dell’ultimo giorno dell’anno, ma Quinn è comparso su tutti i giornali per essere stato il primo bambino nato a Londra nel 1990 e a lui è andato il tradizionale premio in denaro. Come se non bastasse, ha ottenuto anche il nome destinato a Minnie. Quando lei si imbatte casualmente in Quinn a una festa di Capodanno, si convince più che mai che la fortuna abbia continuato a favorirlo: lui è diventato un affascinante imprenditore di successo, mentre lei sta seriamente rischiando di finire sul lastrico e perdere tutto ciò che ha. Ma se Quinn e Minnie appartengono a mondi tanto diversi, perché continuano a incappare l’uno nell’altra? E perché ogni volta sentono quella irresistibile attrazione, come se una misteriosa forza unisse i loro destini?
