Summary

Once bitten, twice shy?

When her first love walks back into her life, Harriet Locke is thrown - because Sally McCall still looks as gorgeous as ever. The trouble is, Sally doesn't trust Harriet, and with good reason: she hasn't forgotten the past.

Sally loved her once, but 17 years later, is that still the case? And if it is, there's just the small matter of living in different states, as well as convincing Sally she's worth taking a chance on again.

Will Harriet and Sally be lucky enough to find love twice in a lifetime?

From the best-selling author of London Calling and Nothing to Lose comes a witty & wondrous story of second-chance romance!

Nostalgic, full of hope and love...

My favourite so far! I have read almost all of Clare's books and this was the best so far.

I found the story so relatable, as we can all remember our first love and that all encompassing emotion that comes with it. Although I knew there would always be a happy ending, I found myself gripped to the story and the other characters outside of the main plot. I couldn't stop listening and finished the whole thing in a couple of days.

The narration was fantastic, and it really brought the book and the characters to life for me. Particularly the setting in America.

Overall I loved it, and you will too! a great audio book, give it a listen!

loved it.

This author never disappoints. The narrator was very good. Having read the book first the audiobook gives it a more depth. I highly recommend this book.

Enjoyable listen!

I enjoyed reading "Twice in a Lifetime" (this is my favourite Clare Lydon book to date), and I did wonder what audio would add to the story. But when you marry up a solid well-written book, with a really good narrator, the narration enhances the story, brings it alive and that is what has happened here. It's an easy book to dip into, it's a relaxing story to listen to, with well-drawn characters that come alive with TJ Richards' narration and you want to see them reach their happiness potential. Great stuff!

great second chance story

This is the 4th audiobook I have listened to from Clare Lydon and I can certainly say it's one of the best ones. The romance between Harriet and Sally ( yes bit cheese) is very sweet, kind of very feel good romance. The fun is all down to aunt's Paula, my favourite second character ever.
The narration was very good,if anything the MCs voices could have been more distinctive, but overall great

A real treat for your ears!

I had already read the book a few times and had an idea in my mind of how these characters would be, before listening to the audio. I was delighted with the narration by TJ Richards, she made the story come alive and her depiction of Aunt Paula was spot on! Once I began listening, I didn't want to stop as it draws you in to see what happens next. It's no surprise for Clare's fans to see there is a happy ending, but the journey is a mix of some trepidation and laughs along the way. Second chances can work out!

Great book & narration

Twice in A Lifetime is another great book by from Clare Lydon. Clare always creates a storyline which is easy to read and even easier to lose yourself in.

What I have come to expect and love about Clare’s books are plots which are credible and characters who are plausible and who you can relate to.

I also love the way Clare inserts a quirky character into the plot who is fun and a lot zany, I mean who doesn’t know or need an Aunt Paula?

Clare adeptly injects humour, angst and passion into her plots in equal measure.

Clare’s ability to describe a scene is brilliant …. ‘Sally’s mom had smelled like cigarettes and sunshine’ and ‘the air seared with the smell of roasted meat and silky gravy’.

The narrator T.J Richards, brings the characters to life and makes the book more enjoyable.

In all a great story and superb choice in narrator.

Loved listening to one of my favourite books!

Sally and Harriet were teenage sweethearts but things did not end well for them. When they meet up unexpectedly in their 30s the old feelings are still there. Can they forget the past? Living in cities hundreds of miles apart with established businesses further complicates things. The romance is sweet and sexy, with some very hot scenes that will have you reaching for a fan to cool down! I wanted it all to work out for them as they were meant for each other. Sally had a hard time getting past the hurt from their past relationship and I could see why she was reluctant. Harriet was determined and persistent. Once again Clare Lydon has me grinning from ear to ear and feeling that all is right with the world. She has that rare gift of being able to draw the reader in from the start.   The writing is full of humour - it’s gentle but irreverent and Aunt Paula is hilarious. A wonderful story that left me happy - something I have come to expect from Clare Lydon’s books.

I enjoyed listening to the story come to life with the narration of TJ Richards. She hits just the right tone. I loved the story when I read the actual book a few months ago and this is a lovely addition. Being able to listen to a favourite story in the car or while out for a walk is one of life’s pleasures. And when you find the narrator’s voice fits the story then that makes it all the better.
