Not much.
Really didn’t enjoy this story. One hour into it and I couldn’t carry on. It had no substance.

Enjoyable
Holly is adopted. She is on a quest to find her identity and who she truely is. Her struggle. as the story shows is not the preserve of those looking for their birth mothers... but a journey many of take as we try and find out who we are...... If you lived through the eighties, especially if you were in a minority, marching against Thatchers Britain you may particularly enjoy this. It may not be great literature, & may never find itself added to the GCSE study list, BUT it is a very enjoyable, absorbing story, with my kind of hero's. The best audible book I have listened to for quite a while.

Brilliant!
Really loved this book. Love how Darren and Holly’s stories combine to build the bigger story. Entertaining and heart warming. Would definitely recommend.

Great story
I really enjoyed this. The main character had flaws like a real person, I didn’t always like her but that just made her more believable. I laughed quite a few times too at the slightly nutty but relatable inner dialogue. Loved the male narrator too and the part of the story he told was heartbreaking and compelling. I’m looking forward to listening to more from this author.

Give it time
It took a while to get into this story. You have to listen past the first chapter or so.
It was a good story. The main character takes a while to like but she gets there in the end.
