About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Three couples. One therapist's couch ...

Alice and Niall used to be lovers, best friends and parents, in that order. Now they're no longer on the same page or even reading from the same book.

Ann thought when she and Ken retired, it would be their second spring. Instead, it feels more like an icy winter.

Orla is falling in love with boyfriend Paul, but her complicated past makes her unsure if she can ever be intimate with anyone.

Three couples find themselves telling a stranger about the most private part of their lives - their hopes, their disappointments, their awkward realisations.

Can they learn to be honest with each other? And what life-changing decisions will be made when they do?

Critic reviews

A brilliant read and perfect for summer. Sinéad is a master when it comes to characters who you care for and storylines that feel genuine and sincere
Such a joy to read . . . a wonderful book (Claire Byrne)
Brilliant and beautifully told (Anna McPartlin)
Moriarty has perfected the fine dance between light and shade, turning some of the most substantial and challenging of life's realities into compelling, companionable reads
There is a bit of each of these women in us all. A charming, laugh-out-loud read
The standout book of the summer

I was hearing the same phrases over and over, I felt like saying “you’ve already said that’. Also got quite frustrated that the characters didn’t tell the truth but then I suppose that that was the whole point of the story. Good vocalisation though.

Repetitive

Very disappointed. Kept wait for the stories to pick up and then the end really matched the rest of the stories : felt like it could have been a nice book but left a unsatisfactory feeling lingering.

Lame
