About this listen

 A beautiful story of love and second chances, with a remarkable family at its heart, from the Sunday Times bestselling author.

So much can change in half a lifetime…

Then

At fifteen, George is the foster brother Leah never asked for. As the angry, troubled boy struggles to come to terms with his circumstances, Leah finds herself getting drawn closer to him.

Theo’s wealthy family have mysteriously pulled him out of boarding school and he’s now enrolled at the local state school with Leah and George. When their worlds collide that summer, the three teenagers form a bond they believe will be unbreakable. But life doesn’t always go to plan...

Now

Shocking news brings Leah back to Yorkshire, baby daughter in tow. But Emilie’s father Theo isn’t with them, and George has unexpectedly returned. After half a lifetime, have they healed the scars of their pasts? Will coming back home set their hearts in a different direction?

You kind of know where this story is going, but the parts about fostering are really interesting, insightful and heartwarming. Lifts it above the usual love story. Very enjoyable and beautiful read.

Loved the first half of the book. Great characters even though a little fairytale like. The ‚twist‘ in the middle of the book made the whole story a bit pointless. The whole second half of the book felt like an unnecessary epilog.

Great start. Disappointing second half
