About this listen
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of One Day in December . . . When a double-booking at a remote one-room cabin accidentally throws two solace seekers together, it feels like a cruel twist of fate. But what if it’s fate of a different kind?
“A perfectly executed and quintessential romantic comedy.”—Christina Lauren, author of The Unhoneymooners
Spending her thirtieth birthday alone is not what dating columnist Cleo Wilder wanted, but she plans a solo retreat―at the insistence of her boss―in the name of re-energizing herself and adding a new perspective to her column. The remote Irish island she’s booked is a far cry from London, but at least it’s a chance to hunker down in a luxury cabin and indulge in some self-care while she figures out the next steps in her love life and her career.
Mack Sullivan is also looking forward to some time to himself. With his life in Boston deteriorating in ways he can’t bring himself to acknowledge, his soul-searching has brought him to the same Irish island to explore his roots and find some clarity. Unfortunately, a mix-up with the bookings means both have reserved the same one-room hideaway on exactly the same dates.
Instantly at odds, Cleo and Mack don’t know how they’re going to manage until the next weekly ferry arrives. But as the days go by, they no longer seem to mind each other’s company quite as much as they thought they would.
Written with Josie Silver’s signature charm, One Night on the Island explores the meaning of home, the joys of escape, and how the things we think we want are never the things we really need.

Story
When Iris decides to move to New York to restart her life, she realizes she underestimated how big the Big Apple really is—all the nostalgic movies set in New York she’d watched with her mom while eating their special secret-recipe gelato didn’t quite do it justice. But Bobby, Iris’s best friend, isn’t about to let her hide away. He drags her to a famous autumn street fair in Little Italy, and as they walk through the food stalls, a little family-run gelateria catches her eye—could it be the same shop that’s in an old photo of her mother’s?

Story
Laurie is sure love at first sight doesn't exist anywhere but the movies. But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic...and then her bus drives away. Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend, Sarah, giddily introduces her new boyfriend: the man from the bus.

Ever since a car accident tore her family apart, Holly has been part of a lonely-hearts holiday letter–writing club. Each December, she writes to a stranger who is also spending Christmas alone, and receives a letter from another lonely person in return. Usually, the letters go unanswered. That’s the point—the letters are anonymous, and the senders write whatever is in their heart. But this year, the letter Holly receives is different; not only is the letter full of a grief she knows all too well, but its writer, Emma, mentions a place that Holly has visited.

Growing up the daughter of notorious treasure hunter and absentee father Duke Wilder left Lily without much patience for the profession…or much money in the bank. But Lily is resourceful, and now uses Duke’s coveted hand-drawn maps to guide tourists on fake treasure hunts through the red rock canyons of Utah. It pays the bills but doesn’t leave enough to fulfill her dream of buying back the beloved ranch her father sold years ago, and definitely not enough to deal with the sight of the man she once loved walking back into her life with a motley crew of friends ready to hit the trails.

What the critics say
“Silver spins gold from the story of two lost souls whose paths cross on a remote Irish island. . . . Laughter is abundant. . . . This celebration of unexpected love will leave readers thoroughly satisfied.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Josie Silver has cornered the market on literary coziness. She writes immersive love stories that simply must be read in front of a roaring fireplace.”—Entertainment Weekly
“This rom-com is filled with unexpected twists and engaging details and has a truly heart-lifting ending . . . That’s the beauty of this novel: It is often in the most unexpected places we find friendship and warmth. It also takes a unique approach in exploring what solitude means and gives a fresh perspective on romantic relationships in modern-day life. With the hustle and bustle of work, family and friendships, it is not often that we get to escape to our own reality.”—USA Today

A thoughtful book with beautiful messages, but not a tear-jerker
Let me start by saying that I have listened to One Day in December (ODD) probably 5x in the last 2 years. And still cried and held my breath at certain scenes every time.
I used my Audible credit to buy One Night on the Island (ONI) with no expectation that it would be of the same caliber. Still, knowing it came from the same author and having read some reviews, I hoped that it would also be beautiful and touching.
This book didn’t grip me the way ODD still does. I was ok to pause the audiobook (or “put down the book” as one might say) most of the time. I didn’t cry a tear. But then, ONI is not a story of true love and heartbreaks. This is a story of self love. For that, I love Cleo’s thoughtful reflections and I like the directions that Josie Silver chose for her characters. I love the characters, primary and secondary (and, accordingly, not the antagonists). While I don’t think I will be itching to replay the audiobook, I will probably re-listen to this book again someday for the lessons and reflections it gave me.
As for the performance, Eleonor Tomlinson rocks as usual. I love her sensitivity, the way I could hear Cleo’s joy, excitement, dread, and emotional and even physical struggles. Davis Brooks, it took some getting used to. For the first few chapters, I was disappointed by the way Davis voiced Mack and preferred the Mack voiced by Eleonor Tomlinson. Then somewhere into the book, I just forgot to resent him and started to root for both version’s of Mack. Unfortunately, though, neither narrators voiced the Irish lilt that I had so looked forward to hearing. Furthermore, while Eleonor made some attempts to sound American for Mack, Davis didn’t seem to try to sound British for Cleo. It would have been wonderful to hear the contrast of accents in the conversations (instead of simply in the different chapters).

I patiently waited for this book knowing it would be good and it didn’t disappoint. There are only a few authors I purchase books blindly on and Josie Silver will always be one of them.

Good for the heart- spoilers
Just wow!! Silver beautiful and gracefully puts into words, the vastness of both love and grief one can feel during a separation. I didn't expect this and it touched me. She also knows how to tie up a story. I'm so satisfied. do many stories I've read in this genre lately, have rushed endings. I loved this book and will be lis again in the near future ♡

The trip I didn't know I needed
I didn't know how much I needed this trip to Salvation until I was on it. The characters and place were so vivid I feel like I was there, and I feel like this journey will say a part of me. This ended up being much more than a romance novel.

Delightful
I have come to expect more than a basic romance from Josie Silver and this delivered. I loved the characters of Salvation; and the budding relationship between Mac and Cleo. Not to give anything away but I could have loved two endings but was happy with where it went. Enjoyed listening to it on audible.

A lovely story and well narrated. The author painted the settings and characters that were layered and interesting. One of the theme lines about self care and listening to your intuition was very inspiring. Thank you!

A Romance Novel of a Different Kind
How refreshing to read a love story where a woman doesn't lose herself in her man's world. This novel was charming, poignant, and multi-layered - a story of a woman who discovers authentic love but, more importantly, discovers her true place in the world.
The description of the island, the village, and the tight-knit community had me one step away from packing my bags and hopping on a plane.
Loved it.
