***

Willow has everything worked out.

*The steady partner

*The successful career

*The grown-up house

Until she doesn’t – and she’s cast adrift on the sea of heartbreak, grieving a future with no clear path.

With her life transformed beyond recognition, and her friends busy ‘moving forwards’, Willow has never felt more alone.

But she’s in good company.

And when inspiration arrives from an unlikely source, she rekindles the relationship she longs for – but has long neglected… The one with herself…

I loved the beginning, but not the end, sorry 😞

We've all been dumped, but finding out your boyfriend has decided to leave you to further his career, move abroad and oh, by the way, you're sacked all in one hit doesn't usually happen. So when Willow finds herself jobless and without a relationship, she redefines herself.

I enjoyed learning how Willow bounced back and went on to have a 'better' life, but I found this book to be all fur coat and no knickers.

A few annoying loose ends.

3.75/5

I loved the beginning but not the end, sorry :(

The story covered some relatable themes, was an easy listen, and ended well. The dialogue and overly descriptive paragraphs were a bit cliche for me.

An easy listen, if touch cliche at times !

I knew it would be fantastic, I love anything Emma writes. The book made you feel all the emotions of the characters, the storyline is something everyone can relate to and I cried alot of tears during to that. I thought the narrator did an excellent job bringing it all together. 10/10 recommend.

Amazing as always from Emma Gannon

It’s an ok story but it’s quite predictable. I found the delivery of most of the characters to be extremely annoying - I wouldn’t listen to another audiobook that is read by this person

It’s ok
