About this listen

 When Kendra Tamale returns to England from Australia, she rents a room from Kyle, a divorced father of two, and begins a new job. She's looking forward to a fresh start and a simple life.

Kyle's five-year-old twins, Summer and Jaxon, have other ideas and quickly adopt Kendra as their new mother - mainly because she lets them eat marshmallows for breakfast. Kendra eventually becomes a part of their lives, even though she's hiding a painful secret that makes her keep everyone, especially children, at arm's length.

Then Kendra bumps into the man who shares her awful secret, and things fall apart. She can't sleep, she can't eat, she's suspended from work, and the kids are taken away by their mother. The only way to fix things is to confess to the terrible mistake she made all those years ago. But that's something she swore never to do.

Marshmallows for Breakfast is a tale of redemption, hope, and finding love in unexpected places.

First time listen with this Author and narrator and I am absolutely invested! Totally love the stories, but dark in places but so well written! Narration by Adjoa Andoh is one of the best I’ve heard.

Fabulous

considering her other work, which I've enjoyed, this felt like a something of nothing book. to an extent it was enjoyable but it just washed over me as an easy listen. the noise effects were particularly annoying. I understand they indicated the passage of time but I think they were unnecessary.

Bit disappointing

First audiobook I’ve listened to the whole way through, and it missed several parts of the book. Not sure if that’s usual for an audiobook.
The performance was good, could always tell when different characters were speaking

Missed bits

I didn’t realise before I brought it that it was only a few hours long! Waste of a credit in that respect!!

Too short!!!
