About this listen

It's the start of a new year when resolutions are made.... Maggie is stuck in a boring marriage and dreams of a life straight from the pages of a romantic novel. Ella is recovering from seven wasted years of failing to win over the daughter of the man she loves and Ethan, tired of his marriage, seeks the company of other women. Should they be careful what they wish for?

The narrator was easy to listen to and told the story well.
Unfortunately the story itself was uninteresting. Mostly weak characters who were self-seeking and ready to sacrifice their marriages for a more attractive life.

Boring

Beautiful story, so well written. Have followed Erica since her first book, used to live at the bottom of her garden!! Her stories and writing have improved so much and now can’t stop listening to her books! Very ‘readable’.

Made me laugh and cry. Loved it.

I am a great fan of Erica James normally but this book was not, in my opinion, one of her best? Slow to start and all a bit predictable. So many characters I was impatient with - I mean, who would tolerate all that nonsense without saying something?? I stuck with it but would not rate it as highly as mostbof her books.

Okay, got better...

True to life story Exquisite phrasing and descriptive use of language Oh and of course a happy ending

Thoroughly enjoyable read

The story took a long time to really get going and was a bit boring until it all started to pick up pace and come together towards the end. I don’t think this was helped by the narrator who sounded like she was overacting and her voice didn’t lend itself to doing all the different characters.

Not the best
