"Für Jonathan Grief verspricht das neue Jahr alles andere als perfekt zu werden. Seine Frau Tina hat ihn verlassen, und überhaupt ist ihm der Glaube an einen Sinn in seinem Leben seit langem abhandengekommen.
Für Hannah Marx sieht das anders aus: Unbeirrbar glaubt sie an das Gute, an den Reichtum des Lebens und das Glück im Kleinen.
Als sich die Umlaufbahnen dieser beiden Menschen auf unvorhergesehene Weise und von beiden unbemerkt kreuzen, nimmt das Schicksal das Heft in die Hand. Eine bezaubernde Liebesgeschichte findet einen Anfang und an ihrem Ende wird selbst Jonathan eine Antwort gefunden haben auf die Frage: Was ist der Sinn deines Lebens?"
"A man consumed by a meaningless life is going to do something he’s never considered doing before. He’s going to enjoy the day…
For hyper-particular publishing heir Jonathan Grief, the day starts like any other—with a strict morning fitness regimen that’ll keep his divorced, easily irritated, cynical, forty-two-year-old self in absolutely flawless physical condition. But all it takes to put a crimp in his routine is one small annoyance. Someone has left a leather-bound day planner with the handwritten title Your Perfect Year in his spot on his mountain bike at his fitness course!
Determined to discover its owner, Jonathan opens the calendar to find that someone known only as “H.” has filled it in with suggestions, tasks, and affirmative actions for each day. The more he devotes himself to locating the elusive H., the deeper Jonathan is drawn into someone else’s rich and generous narrative—and into an attitude adjustment he desperately needs.
He may have ended up with a perfect year by accident, but it seems fate has set Jonathan on a path toward healing, feeling, and maybe even loving again…if only he can meet the stranger who’s changing his life one day at a time."
