About this listen

The Good Place meets Sliding Doors, Begin Again is an uplifting novel about life's what if's, missed chances and new beginnings.

Despite living firmly in her comfort zone, Frankie McKenzie feels unsettled. She can't help feeling something's missing. Is it a home to call her own? Travel? A more rewarding job? A relationship? Before she can work it out, she dies in a freak kebab-related accident after yet another dud of a first date.

But life isn't over for Frankie. Instead, she is offered a second chance: Frankie can revisit key moments from her past to see if different choices will lead her away from that fateful takeaway and on to the fulfilling life she's always dreamt of.

Soon, Frankie will see what her life would have been if only she'd caught that one-way flight, accepted the marriage proposal or attended the intimidating job interview. Will she finally find her Mr Right? Or discover she already had?

What would you change if you could begin again?

Helly Acton is so underrated as an author and deserves more praise. I've loved all of her books so far and this one is equally brilliant. A fun story with a magical element in but very thought provoking too. Well written & well narrated.

Another fabulous story from one of my favourite authors.
We’ve all done it, wondered ‘what if?’. In this story we get to vicariously do exactly that.
I loved the authors note at the end, and gave to agree. Our life choices make us who we are, and we are usually exactly where we should be.

Entertaining and thought provoking
