About this audiobook
What if your future was somewhere in your past?
Rosie Jones has been dumped by every boyfriend she’s ever had - most recently by Dinosaur Dave, live on TV, during the ‘phone-a-friend’ segment of a quiz show. After the footage goes viral Rosie receives a bunch of flowers with a message:
I love you, I should have never let you go, I want you back x
But who sent them?
At a loose end and with £50,000 prize money in her back pocket, Rosie decides to take a trip down memory lane, visiting each of her ex-boyfriends to see not just if they are the one who sent the flowers but if they are the one.
Her journey takes her back to the house she grew up in and on a transatlantic cruise to New York, but can Rosie figure out which ex-boyfriend is the love of her life, or should the past stay in the past?
Million-copy bestseller Portia MacIntosh's romantic comedies are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a mixed bag. While some enjoyed the original and funny plot, others found it to be bloated and tedious. The mystery element was deemed anticlimactic by some readers. However, many praised the likable characters and their mature, romantic relationship. The narration was also highly praised. Overall, this book is recommended, but some readers found it to be predictable and similar to the author's previous work.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The audio narration was great. The plot started out as original and funny. Then the main characters embarked on a cross-Atlantic cruise consuming most of the story, with each cruise chapter more tedious than the last. This was a novella’s worth of plot bloated up to pass off as a novel.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved the story and the narrator is perfect! On to the next one!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nice story, great narration, bud this was one of those books that you think you have read before...
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really liked the book, however, the who sent the flowers mystery was a bit anticlimactic.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've listened with great pleasure to Honeymoon for one so when this title showed up in the recommended section I knew I'd be hearing a good time. my impasses were with Rosie from the first she is so funny smart kind. It's such a shame she is struggling to accept her body. hope she gets through it. Love Rosie and Ali duo. they are so sweet together. Relationship between Rosie and Josh despite several comical moments was really mature, romantic and pleasant but not too much. They new each other quite well and were enjoying one another's company. the use of a few cheap romantic cliches had worsened the overall exprience phrases like 'you are the love of my life' or the fact that she didn't finish her holiday even thou they were going in the same direction& Still, highly recommend
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was an okay book, however after listening to Faking it first, I realized that the books are very similar and that made this one predictable and kind of boring. The main characters are basically the same person.
