About this listen
In this genre-bending audiobook from best-selling Israeli author Yoav Blum, there is no such thing as chance and every action is carefully executed by highly trained agents. Listeners will never look at coincidences the same way again.
What if the drink you just spilled, the train you just missed, or the lottery ticket you just found was not just a random occurrence? What if it's all part of a bigger plan? What if there's no such thing as a chance encounter? What if there are people we don't know determining our destiny? And what if they are even planning the fate of the world?
Enter the Coincidence Makers - Guy, Emily, and Eric - three seemingly ordinary people who work for a secret organization devoted to creating and carrying out coincidences. What the rest of the world sees as random occurrences, are, in fact, carefully orchestrated events designed to spark significant changes in the lives of their targets - scientists on the brink of breakthroughs, struggling artists starved for inspiration, loves to be, or just plain people like you and me....
When an assignment of the highest level is slipped under Guy's door one night, he knows it will be the most difficult and dangerous coincidence he's ever had to fulfill. But not even a coincidence maker can see how this assignment is about to change all their lives and teach them the true nature of fate, free will, and the real meaning of love.
Part thriller, part mystery, part love story - Kirkus calls The Coincidence Makers "a smart, unpredictable, and heartfelt adventure story."

"This existential, mind-bending, jigsaw puzzle of a novel is supremely satisfying." (BookPage)

Unusual, engaging, thoughtful.....
It was having listened to other books narrated by Fred Berman that led me to this one, and I'm glad it did. What initially looked like a fairly simple premise for a story turned out to have far more depth, thoughtfulness and intrigue. This isn't a fantasy world where there are coincidence makers. This is an everyday world where there are coincidence makers, and because this is treated as fact without explaining the whole back story (after all, why would you if it's part of everyday life) makes the whole thing more believable, even as the story bends this believability in unexpected directions.
The narration is as good as ever by Fred Berman, and I really look forward to more from this original author.

I want the next books in the series!
An interesting story that, after making assumptions on where the story is going, takes you on a different path. I highly recommend.
