Summary
Imagine a universe where Sander saw Robbe at the spraying club and immediately realized he should probably break up with his girlfriend, thus missing the beach trip and his chance with Robbe.
Fast forward 12 years, divorced dad Sander is at the zoo, sketching animals for his new children’s book series, and a beautiful zookeeper catches his eye. Afraid to date and introduce more adults into his daughter’s life who might leave, Sander is happy to admire him from afar. When, by chance meeting, he finds that the zookeeper is actually a kind veterinarian, always willing to step in and help, his crush becomes impossible to ignore. Can Sander learn to balance his protective instincts with his growing feelings, or will his fear of abandonment win?

Summary
This is a story about soulmates, but it's not a soulmates story.
Isak is heading into the end of his second year at Nissen with his best friend Jonas by his side, and his trusty study buddy Sana helping him with his grades. He lives at home with his mother, Marianne, in a house that is too big for them. Isak's father left a couple of years ago in a drawn-out separation, and his sister Lea is at university in Germany. But he's fine with that. He takes care of his mother, and his mother takes care of him. They're both focused on school, since Marianne is a professor at the university and Isak is Isak. The only other thing of particular interest in his life is driving a car, since he'll be getting his license shortly after turning 18 in June. He drives Marianne around the city when she needs a chauffeur, and waits for her in parking lots while she runs errands.
That's where he first sees Even, in a parking lot, outside of a church. Even doesn't see him, but that doesn't really matter. Isak sees him first, and the search for a name, a friend, a story, begins.

Summary
”It’s ironic isn’t it? I broke your heart and now mine is not working,” Isak continued.
“Isak…”
Even fought against the lump in his throat and the tears that burned behind his eyes.
Isak laughed unhappily, his face void of emotions.
“It kind of feels like karma, you know?” he said.
“Don’t” Even pleaded. “Don’t say things like that.”
About love, friendship, and forgiveness. About moving on and letting go. About making amends and forgiving yourself.
