About this listen

'Beth Moran's heartwarming books never fail to leave me feeling uplifted' Jessica Redland

Meet Patrick Cooper– desperately down on his luck, and head-over-heels in unrequited love with his best friend Bridget.

Meet Bridget's sister, Emma Donovan -eternally single maker-of-cakes for many a happy couple, whilst never making it down the aisle herself.

Emma has four younger sisters, all of whom are married or getting married, and an Italian mother who can’t understand what is ‘wrong’ with her eldest daughter, who seems to be stranded on the shelf. Despairing of her own ability to find a suitable husband, Emma agrees to be part of a compatibility project to get married at first sight.

Meanwhile Cooper is struggling to get over his crush on Bridget and seems destined to stay firmly on the shelf too. Perhaps it’s time his fate was taken out of his hands…

Is happily-ever-after just about daring to take a chance, or do you need some extra magic to make love last?

Join Number One bestselling author Beth Moran, Cooper and the Donovan sisters on this life-affirming and uplifting tale of love, family, friendship, and risking it all for happiness.

An easy listen that did provide humour but the storyline was predictable and there were too many sisters to keep track of, I found myself really having to think about who was who throughout the book. But being from Nottingham I did enjoy the references. Didn’t like the narrators accents at all with the Mum almost sounding Jamaican in parts. It was ok but glad I didn’t spend a credit on it or I would have been disappointed.

Its an easy listen

I love Beth’s books but this is the first time I’ve listened to one. As with all her other books it’s funny, compelling and you just can’t stop listening.
But I nearly stopped and thought of getting the actual book as the performance really put me off! All the different accents some far too strong to understand oh dear.

But that’s just my experience see what you think.

Great Book but bad performance in my view.

This is the story of the Donavon Sisters, Emma, Anna, Orla, Sophia & Bridget - the main story is about Emma & Bridget and Patrick “Cooper”

Emma is the eldest sibling who met her forever person who broke her heart, that being said she really wants to get married and settle down. That is how all the sisters have been raised. What does not help is that all her younger siblings are getting married or about to be. Their mother is Italian and often puts her foot in it being outspoken and their poor father suffering terribly from M.E.

A compatibility test is done by Bridget the youngest sister who is a scientist and Cooper her fellow scientist and best friend who has been in love with Bridget for years. Emma agrees to marry whoever she is matched to after many rotten dates.

We see the fallout and whether or not science really can help sparks fly and so it goes on with the other sisters and their dramas.

The idea of this book is a good one but I would have loved for the author to have concentrated on the main characters as there is a lot of info to digest which detracts from the main characters and story. Other reviews have said similar and now I can see why.

I would also have loved to see more about their mother and Father and their story, but in a separate book. The mother is a hoot and very embarrassing lol 😂

*A crowded tale*

I enjoyed this cute story about a lovely family. I imagine it’s easier to follow the audiobook than it would be the reading book as there are many characters to keep track of!

Lots of characters but great accents!

An entertaining listen. A bit far-fetched but some lovely moments between the sisters and a nice message about independence and resilience. A nice happy ending.

Entertaining
