VII. Sorry I Missed You by Suzy Krause (3.5/5)

This novel follows the lives of three extremely different women who form a friendship over being ghosted by important people in their lives. They receive an unmarked letter in their mailbox and all are unsure as to who it is meant for. Through the story you get to see glimpses into their lives and where they have ended up, all with their questions remaining unanswered.

Having personally recently been ghosted by a long term boyfriend, I thought that it was a perfect book to read. There was humor, friendship, and a pinch of mystery. Personally, I could have lived without the ghost storyline, but in the end I realized how it played out. This was a cute novel and I would recommend it to anyone who has been hoping for closure - It helped me realize that closure is not always possible and some things are better left alone.
A huge thank you to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for this e-book.

A fun look at contemporary friendship, as if Friends was updated to current day. Loved this one!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

I received this book "Sorry I Missed You" from NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own. This was a really fun book. Quirky, funny, entertaining and kept my interests. Overall enjoyable read although the beginning was a lot of background. It picked up and like I said - quirky - but I like that.

When Larry Inherits his aunt's mansion, instead of moving in, he divides into 3 apartment units that he puts up for rent. Sunnah, Mackenzie and Maude move in. The only thing these three women have in common is that all 3 of them have been "ghosted" by people they really loved. A damaged letter (it got damaged sitting in rain water in their mailbox), arrived shortly after the women moved in. All they could make out from the letter was: "sorry I missed you ... and the name of a coffee shop where the person hoped to meet.

There is so much I loved about this book: the quirky characters, and all their relationships, I loved that it takes place in Regina, Canada, with streets like Montreal Street and Toronto Street. I love that the author is young Canadian as well. This book is just perfect "if you are looking for entertainment". It will make you laugh and maybe make you cry, or just make you feel good about people. I highly recommend Suzy Krauses's #sorryimissedyou. Thank you @netgalley for the e-ARC in returner my honest review. #5stars

Story line could not keep my attention. Thought it was a bit boring. Stopped readying almost half way through.

Sorry I Missed You is great!!! Like really really great you guys! Put everything down and read this book now. A swoon worthy Rom Com with all the right twist as turns. Krause gives you characters you love, some you hate and much much more.

The plot seemed interesting at first, but overall, this one felt a bit too all over the place for me. There was too much going on, and none of the characters really grabbed my attention. I don't know, I think I was expecting something different from Sorry I Missed You, and it just...wasn't it.

This was a surprisingly delightful read full of eccentric but lovable characters. Not only did the characters have entertaining personalities but their back stories will keep you reading wanting to know what happens and happened to them. Just when you think you have the majority of the story solved the house offers one final twist. A lovely story about friendship, acceptance, love, family and becoming your best self in the midst of rather strange circumstances. Definitely reccomend.

This was more a question of personal taste then a poorly written story but this had just enough of plot tropes that do not do it for me. Paranormal of any kind, even a light fun addition like this one, is not at all my cup of tea. I also prefer to have the majority of the characters a lot more likeable so that when I read, there is at least one that I want to learn more about. But it was an interesting idea and a fun twist to a friendship development story. Thank you to the author for sending me an e-copy for an honest review.

The story follows three different women who have been ghosted by an important person in their life. The women end of living in three converted flats in an old house.

At the beginning, a letter arrives to the shared mailbox. It has been damaged so parts are illegible, so it is unclear who it is from. The letter says sorry and to meet at a coffee shop one afternoon, but as they can't see which date, they decide to go every afternoon until someone shows.

I guess I thought this was going to be about the development of an 'unlikely' friendship.
It was about too many things. It was a ghost story, a murder mystery (for about two chapters), a revenge story, a finding yourself story, oh and there was a bomb threat.

It was just too choppy for me.

I was so excited to read this book and it did not disappoint. It's quirky and I love the perspective that it's written from. Definitely recommend.

This book made me smile in the best of ways- I loved all of the characters and the way they were developed. But something was missing for me.

I found this a really enjoyable read with a very unusual story line. It would be great for a book club choice as there is a lot to discuss about the characters and their evolving stories. It was well written and engaging and would recommend to others looking for something a little different,

The story revolves around four very different individuals, Maude, Sunna, Mackenzie and their landlord, Larry. These people find themselves propelled into eachother's orbit by their circumstances and connected to each other by a mysterious letter...

The central theme to the book is "ghosting" and I feel that this will resonate with a lot of people. It's not just romantic ghosting either, Sunna for example was ghosted by her best friend.

I found this book a little lacklustre for me. I'm just not a massive fan of these types of books! I also thought the plot was a bit too fussy, there was a lot going on and to be honest, in the end, none of it really made a lot of sense!

I felt the ending was rushed, a lot of loose ends were tied up too quickly and I also felt the author didn't do much justice to a couple of the characters.

It's a quick and easy read but I just didn't really connect with it. I don't have much to say about this book because I don't feel strongly either way! I give it 2.5 stars.

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a cute and quirky read. It starts quickly with three strangers who start living in a rental house together after they have each been ghosted. I felt like the story started to take some weird turn about half way through. If you are looking for a not so scary ghost story this might be for you. Thanks so much netgalley for giving me a chance to read this in exchange for my review.

I found this novel meandering and difficult to get into. It was full of characters with personalities that were difficult to like. The story is about three very diverse women who move into three apartments in an older house. A letter arrives that is difficult to read, that ends with ‘sorry I missed you’. Each woman believes it could be for her. They then get together to wait to see who the letter was for. Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read an early arc of this novel.

This book was an okay read for me. I liked some parts of the book but others seemed all over the place. Maude was probably the best character in this book. She made me laugh with her bluntness and I can relate to that. All in all, started off good but lost me in the end.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Sorry I Missed You is the story of three very different women who have all had a similar experience of being ghosted by people they loved. There’s also a subplot with ghosts in the attic which is always good.
Mackenzie’s story is the most complicated and absorbing and Sunna’s is probably not explored as thoroughly as it could have been. She does however have to find closure to her situation in a different way from the others. There’s also a nice maiden, mother, crone dynamic between women of three different generations whose approach to what happens to them is very different and they all learn something from each other and are all happy at the end which is nice.

A bittersweet read about relationships that ended abruptly and the start of new ones. Three women, each of whom have been ghosted in their own ways in the past, come to live together under the same roof. Each have their own stories and troubles. Maude, Sunna, and Mackenzie are often at each other's throat, but if they want to see who sent that letter (and to whom) they would have no choice but to stick together during their daily coffee meetings at Paper Cup. Slowly, their relationship goes from intolerable to loving and caring. A nice read that shows you three different stages of life and the many issues and lessons behind them. Old relationships fall forever as new ones are built, and not everyone will get their closure...but at least, in the end, they would have each other. A quirky and original story with bits of romance, friendship, mystery, and ghosts to keep you well entertained.

The only minor flaw I had was the amount of bickering there was. I know it's part of the growth from strangers to friends, but some of the fights made me roll my eyes wondering what they were fighting about THIS time. Sometimes, the fights seem to erupt out of nowhere. Maybe that's the charm and dynamic of this particular group relationship? It's minor, but I eventually grew a weee tired of the constant fights. I still enjoyed myself and the ending even surprised me. Looking past the fights, I actually grew quite fond of the story, the side plots, and the characters.

story takes place in Regina, Canada. The plot is interesting, but it is the unique assortment of characters that makes this book endearing. Larry, a past his prime punk rock lover, inherits a house from his deceased aunt. The one stipulation is that he must leave the attic alone. Larry does some remodeling. He rents parts of the house out to different tenants. Maude, Sunna, and Mackenzie are the three renters. The women were unique, each with a story of being ghosted. Then, an anonymous letter arrives saying that they sorry they missed them and could they meet. The letter is unsigned, but each tenant is sure the letter is meant for them. So the unlikely group hangs out a coffee shop, mentioned in the letter waiting for their person to arrive. Over the course of their time spent together, I learned more about each characters’ life and how how they ended up where they were.

Each character was delightful and engaging. It was hard not to get swept up in their odd lives. This is a book of friendship and ultimately hope. The story pulled me in and kept me engaged until the final word. It is never too late for a do-over.
