Story
What if the life you wanted, and the woman you fell in love with, belonged to someone else? Chris and Claire Canton's marriage is on life support. Downsized during the recession and out of work for a year, Chris copes by retreating to a dark place where no one can reach him, not even Claire. When he's offered a position that will keep him away from home four nights a week, he dismisses Claire's concern that time apart could be the one thing their fragile union can't weather. Their suburban life may look idyllic on the outside, but Claire has never felt so disconnected from Chris, or so lonely.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling author of On the Island Tracey Garvis Graves presents this compelling, hopelessly romantic audiobook about unconditional love.
Annika (rhymes with Monica) Rose is an English major at the University of Illinois. Anxious in social situations where she finds most people's behavior confusing, she'd rather be surrounded by the order and discipline of books or the quiet solitude of playing chess.
Jonathan Hoffman joined the chess club and lost his first game - and his heart - to the shy and awkward yet brilliant and beautiful Annika. He admires her ability to be true to herself, quirks and all, and accepts the challenges involved in pursuing a relationship with her.
Jonathan and Annika bring out the best in each other, finding the confidence and courage within themselves to plan a future together. What follows is a tumultuous yet tender love affair that withstands everything except the unforeseen tragedy that forces them apart, shattering their connection and leaving them to navigate their lives alone.
Now, a decade later, fate reunites Annika and Jonathan in Chicago. She's living the life she wanted as a librarian. He's a Wall Street whiz, recovering from a divorce and seeking a fresh start.
The attraction and strong feelings they once shared are instantly rekindled, but until they confront the fears and anxieties that drove them apart, their second chance will end before it truly begins.

a truly beautiful second chance romance
I love Tracey Garvis Graves writing, so when I saw she had a new book, I jumped in right away. I didn’t read the synopsis and the cover didn’t really call to me, but I am so glad I picked this one up. I adored this story and these characters so so much.
Annika and Jonathan meet in chess club their last year of college. Annika is a truly gorgeous girl who is on the autism spectrum, and Jonathan falls hard for her. Their relationship has it’s ups and downs, but it’s so beautiful. Annika has a lot of trouble dealing with her autism at first, but she works on learning how to cope.
This book is set in 1991 (their college year) and 2001 (the present for them) and I think seeing how Annika is accepted with her behaviors is a true indication of how people perceived people who are autistic back then. Jonathan never makes Annika feel like anything less than the amazing woman she is and I loved that for her.
Annika and Jonathan’s relationship was so sweet and pure. What I loved most about it is that Annika was allowed to 100% be herself and Jonathan loved her for it. She’s autistic, she does her best, and it’s good enough for him. Where are all the Jonathans of the world? I hope they exists for the Annika’s of the world.
I also felt this was the most real depiction of an autistic character I’ve ever read about. Being in Annika’s head helped me to truly understand the thoughts and behaviors of someone different than me and I appreciated that. Annika had the best heart and I loved her so much. Jonathan, too. They were both incredible.
As much as I loved them both, their relationship wasn’t perfect. There was some conflict and a pretty big gap of time they were separated, but I understood it and did feel it was necessary for both characters growth.
I loved most everything about this book. The characters, the writing, the progression of the story. Honestly, I think had we gotten more of an ending/epilogue I’m sure it would have been a 5 star for me. I feel like after all we went through, we deserved more than a quick hfn. I wanted the real deal of an ending for Annika and Jonathan.
I cried all the tears towards the end of this book. I was so immersed in the story, I had my airpods in at the grocery with tears streaming down my face looking like an emotionally unstable wreck, but it’s okay. It was better than the alternative, which was waiting to finish this book!
If you’re looking for read that is emotional, heartwarming, and just a truly beautiful second chance romance with complex characters and spectacular writing, pick up The Girl He Once Knew. Side note, the audio was fabulous!

✫✫ ALL THE STARS!!!✫✫
Oh this book!!!! I spent a little time in the beginning thinking it was a slow starter but then it grabbed me and didn't let me go. It's hard to review this book without giving any spoilers so without details I will just say that this book hit so many buttons for me. I was on the verge of pausing the audio forever with 1 hour to go because I was so afraid of what was going to happen and wasn't sure my heart could take it. This story was so beautifully written and the characters were amazingly real. I know there must have been a lot of research done while writing this book because of the many subjects this book touches throughout the story. AMAZING book!
The narration was perfect! Both of them were great but Kathleen McInerney was Phenomenal! Her portrayal of Annika was award winning in my opinion!

The Girl He Used To Know
I loved this novel and wished it was even longer than it was. It was such a sweet love story with a very interesting female protagonist. It was very easy to care about her right away. Jonathan was an equally compelling character and I can see why Annika would fall in love with him.

Great audible! Tracey Graves nailed Anika! I enjoyed this story. Was not expecting the ending. I do feel there were too many sex scenes that took away from the story of Anika,Jonathan, and Anika’s family and friends.

May have had too high of expectations.
I loved On The Island and had high hopes for this one. I read the paper version of On The Island and don’t know if that made a difference, but this audiobook just felt like someone laboriously narrating some events in their life like they were reading a dry textbook. Also with On The Island, there was suspense throughout as I had do idea what would ultimately happen to the characters. I don’t want to say what gave it away, but I knew what events were going to transpire in this book very early on. Once the book reached the climax, I felt it was way too rushed and only focused on the female character’s view point of which by design is only going to be able to present her specific mindset of the events.
I lived through the events facing the characters and there wasn’t nearly enough emotion and drama put into the narrative. This book was very tame and didn’t seem well researched.
The female narrator adapted a staccato cadence when in the voice of Annika and I understand why she did that but it made the character feel distant and robotic to me. I think if the book had used more of Jonathan’s voice, it could have instilled passion and emotion into the relationship and I would have cared much more what happened to both characters.
