About this listen

 Don't miss this hilarious debut for fans of Beth O'Leary and Mhairi McFarlane.

RACHEL THOUGHT THIS WAS HER YEAR. LIFE HAD OTHER PLANS.

1. Re-download Couch to 5K, and actually do the programme
2. Apply for promotion. Avoid projects about dog biscuits, 'miracle' grass seed, etc.
3. DO NOT agree to further dates with Laurence
4. Try to remember Mum means well (!!!)
5. Start using proper night cream with retinol

As her mother likes to remind her, Rachel Ryan is thirty with no partner, hardly any savings and no mortgage. But when she makes her resolutions she's sure this is her year.

By February things are not going to plan. Her career is in chaos as the new guy at work is none other than Jack Harper, who broke her heart at university - and despite herself the chemistry is still there. Plus her best friend has news that will change everything.

As life starts to fall apart around her, will Rachel be able to move on from the past and make some very different resolutions?

Maybe then she'll see what's right in front of her.

I really liked this story and the sound effects the narrator did were a great addition, wish more narrators did this kind of thing.
The story was great and early on it wasn't obvious who she would actually end up with which is a change from the very obvious rom com.
I do have to say Rachel's 'best friend ' Anna came across as very judgemental and not very best friend at all in the latter part of the book, which made me angry on Rachel's behalf, she was nowhere near as bad as they made out.
sign of a good book when you feel emotions like that because you're so engrossed in the story though lol I also ended up crying at one point too 🤭

lovely story
