About this listen

A page-turning, heart-warming romance, guaranteed to brighten up your day from the award-winning top 50 bestseller, Maxine Morrey

Perfect for fans of Lauren Weisberger and Sophie Kinsella.

Milly has been waiting for this moment forever and finally it’s just an hour away – an interview with Vogue magazine and the opportunity to get her foot in the door. There’s just one problem – totally engrossed in her mobile phone, Milly doesn’t see the bus that is fast approaching – until it’s too late…

When Milly next opens her eyes, the consequences of her accident become clear. Everything she has worked for and dreamed of suddenly feels out of reach. But there is one bright spot on her horizon – the reappearance of her ex Jed, in all of his six-foot-four, broad-shouldered glory, with the most piercing ice blue eyes Milly ever saw.

Once used to working in a whirlwind, Milly now has the chance to reconsider how to live. Will she rush back to the treadmill, get her head down and back to business, or is there a whole other life waiting for her, if she’ll just look up to see it?

The story is a bit of a fairy tale but it highlights how our life is passing us by, while we are working 24/7 hoping to get to the next level or promotion. We have no time for ourselves, our partners, friends and family. And we almost end up in the streets if we cannot work. It did make me think, thank you for writing the book.

Made me really think about my life

An easy listen, all be it a bit drawn out. Narration is ok. Would listen to another from the author.

Easy listen, nice.

This book was prolonged. The accent for the boyfriend was comical and unrealistic. It felt as everything was happening in actual real-time. Serious editing needed

Dull and terrible accents
