Nice guys always finish last, and Coby Epstein is sick and tired of being last. After his boyfriend dumps him, Coby vows to take it slow and not jump into another relationship, no matter what his ninety-five-year-old great aunt says. When Coby sees his ex has moved on, he goes on a series of disastrous first dates and swears off men, determined to be alone. His best friend disagrees and finds the “perfect man” for him online and arranges a date. The only problem? Coby has no idea what she’s done.
Since childhood, Eli Kaplan has been his father’s greatest disappointment, a fact he’s reminded of at every opportunity. For years, he’s struggled with the knowledge that dating women doesn’t work for him. A late-night confession to his brother changes everything and Eli realizes, maybe, just maybe, he can come out, find himself, and find love. Eli takes the plunge and creates a profile on a dating website, not knowing what to expect. One night he chats with an intriguing man, and despite his nervousness, they arrange to meet for coffee. No big deal. They’ll probably never see each other again.
On the day of their first date, nothing could surprise Coby and Eli more than to discover that they live in the same apartment building, on the same floor. In a city of eight million people, coincidences don’t get crazier than that. But as the two men begin to weave their lives together with cautious optimism and hope for a future, they find an even greater thread holding their families together—one born from the ashes of a final solution that couldn’t destroy their ancestors’ courage, leaving scars that remain almost a century later. Past lives torn apart can be pieced together by a future no one could have ever imagined, where love is more than fate or coincidence. It’s meant to be.
“It’s more than a coincidence. It’s fate.”
The universe works in mysterious ways and nothing is coincidence if the universe want it….

One thing that always made me fall in love with Felice's works is her capability to turn a very simple things that happen in our daily life into something extra ordinary through her writing and made us keep falling and falling in love again and again with the story she wrote and all the main characters she created.
I already falling in love with the blurb before I even read the book, and I’m fall deeply in love more when I started the book. The dynamic of the story, the connection, the slow burn and the two adorable main characters had stolen my heart right away. The coincidence by coincidence that happen in this book work like magic and warmed my heart. But what I love the most in this story is the way the author always put a family love into the story, and this is what made this book successfully warm my heart to the fullest.
The Coincidence is no doubt another good read from Felice Stevens. And I recommended this book to YOU!!
