About this listen

‘Inspiring, thought-provoking and incredibly moving – Samantha Tonge hit me straight in the heart with the wonderful tale of Tilda and Milo.’ No.1 bestselling author, Shari Low

Meet Tilda Wright…

Tilda has done everything she can to make her life neat, protected, tidy. No longer the girl who was scared of everything, whose family pushed her away, who hit rock bottom. Now she runs her life – as she does her successful business – with the utmost organization. As long as she keeps everyone at arm’s length, she will be fine. She will be safe.

But then a chance encounter with a man who’s fallen on hard times changes everything. Milo needs a break, and self-contained Tilda surprises herself by deciding she should help him. Just for a while. A few days at the most.

Maybe all he needs is someone to organize him, to help him clean up his act? She is sure she knows how to kick-start Milo into turning his life around.

What Tilda doesn’t know is that – with this single act of kindness – it might actually be her own life that’s about to change forever…

A totally gorgeous, heartbreaking and uplifting story, about friendship, trust, and finding love in unexpected places, perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Shari Low and Faith Hogan.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! A thought-provoking, heartfelt and uplifting read about learning to really live – and love – again… My single act of kindness would be to wrap up this book and press it into the hands of readers everywhere!’ Fiona Collins, author

Loved this book! An eye-opener and a page-turner, it celebrates our ability to change and to get up again when we fall. A beautiful story guaranteed to touch your heart and restore your faith in human nature.’ Hazel Prior, author

‘A joy to read. Sparkling with witty dialogue and full of wise words… a masterpiece of storytelling.’ Celia Anderson, author

Not my usual listen but so glad I decided to give this one a try from the rave reviews about it. It was so good. I was gripped from the start. Lived the story. Loved the ending. Loved the narrator. She really made the title. Will be getting any more titles by this new author I’ve discovered very soon and starting yet another collection. Absolutely fab! Grab a copy. You won’t be disappointed….

Wow. What a really enjoyable lovely audiobook. A huge 5 stars for everything about it!

A totally different read for me

I absolutely adored this book. It wasn’t all action or loud; instead, it felt quiet and subtle at first. We’re introduced to the main character, Tilda. Her world is small and organised, with everything in its place. She lives her life in an orderly manner, even having her food planned out for each day, which remained the same every week. Why all this discipline?

Tilda started her own cleaning business and had a few staff members. However, she struggled to keep everyone at a distance to maintain her safety.

One day, she encounters a young man named Milo, who is homeless and struggling. Her instinct is to help him, but that would disrupt her carefully planned order. Against her better judgment, she decides to help him, even if it means changing her orderly life.

Unbeknownst to Tilda, her act of kindness would have profound and unexpected consequences. They also share more than one thing in common, and her life will be forever changed. Will it be for the better or for the worse?

I found this story deeply moving. Interestingly, the way Tilda lived made me imagine that she was middle-aged, so I was surprised to learn that she was much younger than I had thought. Her reserved and buttoned-up demeanour initially made me think she was cold, but I gradually warmed to her.

Her backstory touched my heart and made me want to cry. I also enjoyed the ending.
