About this listen

“Funny, warm and beautifully written – I loved it.” MILLY JOHNSON

**Can one woman’s marriage survive her best friend’s divorce? Veronica Henry meets Erica James in this gorgeous summer read.**

Octavia Shelton thought she’d have a different life. One where she travelled the world with an exotic husband and free-spirited children in tow.

Instead she’s married to safe, reliable Jonathan, and her life now consists of packed lunches, school runs and mountains of dirty washing. She’s not unhappy. It’s just that she can barely recognise herself.

So as Octavia watches her best friend’s marriage break up, it gets her thinking. What if life could be different? What if she could escape and rediscover the person she used to be? Escape back to the island she visited years ago? And what if the man she used to love was there waiting for her?

I was gripped with the story line and Lucy Paterson read it to perfection. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

A must to listen to

My first attempt at an audio book - and really enjoyed it - got lost in the main character's world - and felt could really get into the story more than if just reading it. A nice easy going story - with a bit of a kick - to keep you interested - and the ending not one you would have predicted. Believable and interesting - and whet my appetite for more audio books.

Easy listening - "comfy" story

Beautifully written and beautifully read. Am on the hunt for yet another Kerry Fisher. What shall I do when I have exhausted the collection?

An audible equivalent of 'Shirley Valentine'.
