About this listen

 'A beautiful, brave, important book…devastatingly sad, yet still filled with light, hope and so much love' Sunday Times Bestseller Paige Toon

This wasn’t meant to happen. But it did.

Sofie Jensen has always lived by logic — calculating risk, staying in control, believing that if she did everything right, life would follow the rules. But nothing could prepare her for the unimaginable: the stillbirth of her baby boy.

Now, grief carves a hollow space where joy once lived, and love — so fierce, so fragile — teeters on the edge. Nothing adds up anymore. Not the life she had. Not the future she imagined.

Told with quiet strength and breathtaking honesty, This Wasn’t Meant to Happen is a searing but beautiful portrait of love, grief and the tender, complicated path back to hope. For anyone who has ever lost, longed, or held on when letting go felt impossible.

'Oh my heart. This is a book that lands deeply' Sunday Times Bestseller Giovanna Fletcher©2025 Ali Harris (P)2025 HarperCollins Publishers Contemporary Family Life Friendship Genre Fiction Women's Fiction
