Summary

Mel Taylor was thirteen years old when she found her Mr Right. Twenty years on they remain blissfully in love. She has the man she adores, a gorgeous daughter, a great job and a dream home. But Mel's seemingly perfect life is spoilt by a dark secret and a niggling fear that her good fortune can't last for ever. Despite her husband Adam telling her to live for the present and stop worrying about the future, Mel can't shake the feeling that someone is about to call time on their happiness. And then it happens.

Couldn’t stop listening!

A great and gripping story which kept me hooked throughout. Loved the way the story was told from different perspectives.

Best Narrator I have heard

Lovely story with a realism and which could effect anyone's life
Narrator portrays the different characters with a true realism so you hear their emotions.
Offers true life humour, sorrow, regret, delight and hope. Has been a pleasure to listen to.

Notthing really happens

The story is just a continuous telling of what it would be like if someone is in a vegetive state, sad but monotonous grind for the family. The big secret really isn’t worth waiting for. I also felt the narrators voice was much older than the supposedly 34yr old at the centre of the book. Sorry but Not worth the hours to listen to it.

Awful narrator

I’ve listened to a lot of Linda Green’s books narrated by the likes of Emma Gregory who is brilliant, but I won’t be listening to any more narrated by Suzie Aitcheson, I’m afraid. She made the story sound like a flippant comedy sitcom, which it wasn’t, and the only reason I made it to the end was because I love this author.

A bit far fetched

It’s ok but I’ve enjoyed other books by this author far more. Seems very far fetched in places and more like a fantasy novel.

Thought provoking and moving

I enjoyed listening to this even though I thought it would be a difficult subject to cope with.
Cleverly written with insight and surprising humour. It brought back memories of when my husband had a mild stroke and his personality changed slightly, in fact, this book helped me to understand it more.
There were a couple of minor negatives. I think the child seemed more like a six year old than a four year old and I’m still not quite sure if Adam’s thoughts when in his coma were real or inside Mel’s head which left me feeling a bit confused.
Still a very ‘un-put-downable’ book.

Much intensity and many twists and turns

I enjoyed the book very much. Very intense at times and different twists and turns made it a gripping story. Narrator did well with the many voices.
