      Chi ha detto che in amore non contano le coincidenze? Tutto inizia con un bigliettino. Daisy, chef famosa e mamma single, ha deciso di chiudere definitivamente con gli uomini. Durante un volo per Parigi, un passeggero le fa scivolare un messaggio nella borsa, ma Daisy non è interessata a chi l’ha scritto, convinta delle sue teorie sugli uomini. Arrivata a Parigi, il vero dramma si presenta: sua figlia Coco ha preso la borsa sbagliata al ritiro bagagli, rovinando la loro settimana di vacanza. Nel frattempo, il passeggero del 13C, un architetto single e un po’ imbranato, si chiede perché abbia scritto quel bigliettino, dato che non è nel suo stile. Colpito da Daisy, il suo viaggio prosegue verso Barcellona, dove ha una mostra e deve affrontare la crisi adolescenziale del figlio Webb. Le cose si complicano quando Webb scopre di aver preso la borsa con l'indirizzo e-mail di Coco. Se cercate una lettura frizzante e deliziosa, capace di farvi ridere e commuovere, siete nel posto giusto. Preparatevi a scoprire qualcosa di vero sulla vita, sulle relazioni e sull’amore, sempre inaspettato e irresistibile.
