About this listen

The sweeping love story of the year that everyone is talking about! Perfect for fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid, Dani Atkins and Jojo Moyes.

Liv is given the chance to live one life-changing week over, but can she change her future...? And does she want to?

When Liv’s boyfriend Kit disappeared on a hike, seven years earlier, she thought her life was over. But with the help of their family and friends, she’s pushed her way through the grief, and now, miraculously, she's found a way to love again.

Until the morning of her wedding, when Liv steps through a doorway, and finds herself, somehow, back at the flat she shared with Kit: seven years earlier, six days before he left. Now, Liv has a chance to live those six days over, and change everything. If she gets this right, she can find out why Kit leaves and stop him.

But can she save him? And if she does, how will she choose, between the man she loved then, and the one she loves now?

This was just what I wanted! A beautiful mix of real life, time travel and great characters. Enjoyed on audible and the narration was great. Will definitely listen to more from this author.

Perfect mix!

I had never read or listened to anything by this author, and I needed a break from my usual crime thriller genre. This caught my eye. It was still a gentle mystery, but came with some humour and was uplifting too. An enjoyable six hour listen whilst gardening over a weekend.
