Just Haven't Met You Yet by Sophie Cousens
funny lighthearted medium-paced

 On a trip to the Channel Islands to write about her parents' epic romance, Laura accidentally switches suitcases with a stranger and falls for its unseen owner based on the items in his case. With the help of a surly cab driver, she tries to find the mysterious owner while researching her parents' epic love story and comes to realize that real life isn't nearly as perfect as she imagined.

A cute romantic comedy, Just Haven't Met You Yet endears with a quirky protagonist stumbling through love in an idyllic setting. The novel hits the right tone with Laura's epitome that a great story doesn't make a great love, yet I didn't connect with the story, feeling the plot was over-the-top. Also, I would not recommend the audiobook as the narrator mumbled through all of the cab driver's lines, making the story extremely hard to follow.
