The first book from the No1, million copy bestseller Shari Low's fabulous series that will make you laugh and cry... What if you were wrong to say goodbye to Mr Right...?

1999.

Carly Cooper is 30, single, and after coming close to saying I do to six different men, she’s wondering if she accidentally said ‘goodbye’ to Mr Right.

So, Carly quits her job, her flat, her whole life and sets off on a quest to track down all the men she's ever loved.

But there is a problem. Her ex-boyfriends are scattered all over the world and Carly lives in an era before the Internet and Smartphones.

Her Mr Right must be out there, but can she find him?

And what if he’s moved on from the ex-girlfriend who said goodbye?

A laugh-out-loud vintage '90s romantic comedy from #1 bestselling author Shari Low.

The hilarious, laugh-out-loud sequels What Now? and What Next? are available now...
