About this listen

The warm, sparkling first novel from Melanie Murphy, author of nonfiction best seller Fully Functioning Human (Almost) is full of heart, humour and magic.

Erin is about to turn 30, and her life is definitely not where she thought it would be. She hates her job, she's jealous of her perfect flatmate - and she has just called off her wedding.

A trip home to Ireland to celebrate her birthday with her beloved grandmother is exactly what Erin needs, and she's spent days preparing herself to break the news about her broken engagement.

What she's not prepared for is the gift she receives: a secret family heirloom that will change everything.

Could this be the answer Erin has been looking for - the key to the happy life she's always dreamed of? Only time will tell....

Such a different book, I’ve been reading a lot of auto biography’s at the moment and whenever I want fiction I always resort back to Harry Potter. It was so nice to listen to something new and completely escape! With just enough mystery I found I was hooked. I became emotionally invested in all the characters and it was very relatable. I think we’ve all question “If only” in our lives and it made a lot of food for thought. Can’t wait for Melanie’s next book Glass Houses 💚

Amazing!

The story clicks very well with the Irish narrator and is a very good example of casual magic in an otherwise ordinary everyday life. Very relatable characters and enjoyable dialogues . Loved the casual rainbow mentions too.

Great debut novel from a lovely author.

Absolutely loved it. Had me so hooked that I finished it in 2 days. I loved the story - it was real, honest and touching. It covered a lot of interesting topics, but still managed to flow really nicely. It was written with loads of personality too! I could really relate and empathise with the characters. Had me giggling so many times and the modern references made it feel so current.
Melanie, you've done yourself proud and I can't wait to see what you do next!

I enjoyed every moment of this story.
