About this listen

 Alison James thinks she might be living the wrong life. She loves her husband, Marc, and their children, but somehow, in the process of building a perfect life for her family, she seems to have lost herself. And sometimes she worries that she's being punished for running away with her best friend's boyfriend.

Catherine Ashley knows she's living the wrong life. She adores her two daughters, but all too often, her mind still flicks back to the love of her life: Marc Alison and Catherine have been living separate lives, a hundred miles apart, for 15 years. But now Alison's moving back to Farmington, the town where they both grew up. And they're about to find out just how different both their lives could still be....

The cover promises a "A funny, touching story ... unputdownable"
Sadly, I couldn't find anything funny throughout the bland story. And for my taste, the narrator's various voices were too shrill and unconvincing. I was glad when it was over.
