About this listen

Don't miss another brilliantly uplifting and funny listen from bestselling author, Carmen Reid!

'Escapist Summer reading at its best' Jill Mansell

Eve Gardiner is a single mum with way too much to juggle. With four kids and their dramas, a hectic job, two complicated exes, not to mention the occasional hot date, she knows her spinning plates could come crashing down at any moment.

After her first ex abandoned her and her second ex let her down, Eve has worked hard to rebuild her family’s life and now, she’s doing just fine, or so she thinks. She definitely doesn’t have the time or the energy to trust anyone else with her fragile heart.

But then eldest son Tom drops a bombshell and precocious daughter Anna is determined to make Eve see that there is a man in her life who could be absolutely perfect for her, if she could just let down her guard once again.

As the whole family reunites for a wedding, Eve’s urge to run away from it all has never been stronger. But perhaps, with a bit of courage, this is her second chance to get it all back, including the one who got away the first time...

Please note: This book was previously published as Did The Earth Move

Perfect for fans of Fiona Gibson, Lucy Diamond and Jill Mansell
