About this listen
Successful investment banker Jana has her life perfectly under control – her career is going exactly to plan. That is, until her brain decides otherwise. One day, Jana learns she has a tumour in her cranium that’s threatening to not only drastically shorten her life span, but change her entire personality along the way, too!
And so Jana, ever the restrained and controlled individual, suddenly goes haywire. With her tumour as a chaotic co-pilot, she starts making decisions the old Jana never would’ve dreamed of. She waves goodbye to her career and says hello to an impromptu trip to Greece. There, on the island of Samos, she crosses paths with Fabio, an irritating yet charming tour guide, who invites her on a trip to a “blue zone”: An area marked by above-average longevity. It’s the ultimate form of irony for someone who’s just received a death sentence. But it’s also the start of a madcap trip around the globe on a quest to find the secret to a long, healthy, and happy life. With each mile she travels, Jana’s choices grow wilder, her laughs get louder and the sparks between her and Fabio burn brighter. And of course, it’s the worst timing ever to fall in love – as her brain seems to develop more and more of a mind of its own!
A vibrant, fast-paced acid trip about the art of waiting until the end to really begin, and the surprising realisation that sometimes, a bit of chaos is all you need to make a fresh start.

I didn’t feel very invested in the characters, although I warmed to them a little as it went along. I do find problems arising due to deliberate lack of communication rather a wearing plot line.
There was a way this book could have ended, which I would have been much happier with, but I found very little point in the book as it stands, with the (geographical and romantic) journey, being ultimately so unrelated to the final and unlikely cancer outcome. My alternative version of the book ends with a little magic at the family home of the male love interest.
The voice of the tumour was a weird idea but I will say that I thought the narrator made a fantastic job of voicing it. It made me laugh even though it was a ridiculous concept.
Weak beginning and end
