This Time Next Year (2020) by Sophie Cousens
Get ready to fall for this year’s most extraordinary love story
The story starts as Minnie Cooper (yes, that’s really her name) is attending a New Year’s Eve party with her boyfriend Greg. She’d much rather be hiding at home away from the jinx that appears on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day (her birthday). So far she’s already lost her coat, she gets vomited on at the party, knocks into a waiter and ends up locked in a disabled toilet. So as you can see it’s not the best time of year for her.
Finally being released from the toilet after spending the night in there. She meets the man whose birthday party it was – Quinn who was also born on January 1st – in the same year, same hospital etc. It transpires that there is a history between them (or their mums at least). Minnie’s mum felt that Quinn’s mum not only beat her to the 50k prize of the first baby born in 1990 but also stole her name choice.
Follow the story across the course of a year as it flashbacks to key moments in each of their pasts. How their lives have intertwined without them realising.

Before I Do (2022) by Sophie Cousens
What would you do if the one that got away turned up the night before your wedding?
Audrey is all set to marry Josh, someone who is run-of-the-mill, down to earth and reliable. They have been dating for four years and now it is time for them to exchange their vows and become Mr & Mrs. However, at the rehearsal dinner Audrey has a few wedding jitters, not helped by the arrival of Josh’s sister and her date Fred. Someone she met six years ago and might just be the one that got away.
The story flits between timelines to gain insights into the different characters’ backstories, how they met, how their relationships unfolded and how things could have been different if they had chosen a different path (very Sliding Doors). Audrey is struggling with a whole host of what-ifs. Pulling on emotional heartstrings about love, friendship and how making the next steps in our lives can be overwhelming.
