"Sarah Magee excels in creating characters and connections that embrace cultural and psychological differences. ... I Never Said I Love You holds vivid and unexpected insights about friendships, connections, and life events which drive people either together or apart. ... It deserves recommendation to book clubs and patrons interested in debating and thinking about the impact of travel, revelations, and deals with the devil in a story that churns out delightfully complex and thought-provoking details that readers won't see coming." - Midwest Book Review
"This is a story readers will want to lose themselves in." - Sharon Emery, author of 2023 Michigan Notable Book "It's Hard Being You"
Book Description:
Liss Larkin and Nao Kao Inthavong hail from opposite corners of the world when they meet in graduate school; she an exuberant daughter of the American Midwest, and he the reserved survivor of Southeast Asia's wars. Yet their connection is immediate and their bond gradually deepens – right up until the moment Liss walks away without a word of explanation.
Twenty years later, Liss and Nao Kao unexpectedly cross paths again and emotions that seemed lost to time resurface as the pair reckons with the decisions they made years ago. Ultimately, Liss finds herself traveling to Laos, bound toward the one person she had sworn to forget, not sure what, or who, she will find when she lands.
I Never Said I Love You is a story of travel, friendship, forgiveness, and the roads not taken that follows one woman's journey through her past and across the world. From the ancient temples of Luang Prabang to a remote corner of Senegal and through the heartland of America, Liss traces the contours of a relationship that spans decades and continents as she comes to terms with what it means to either shape life or be shaped by it - and learning to live with the choices we make along the way.”
