About this listen

Narrated by Connor Swindells (Sex Education) and Shalom Brune-Franklin (Baby Reindeer) comes a heart-wrenching story of love and loss from debut author, Briana J Newstead.

Two hearts scarred by loss. One unexpected love that could heal them both.

Jo Savvides hasn't touched a guitar since the tragic accident five years ago that left her reeling with survivor's guilt.

Caleb Evans carries a heartbreak so deep he's vowed never to fall in love again.

When fate brings them together on a world concert tour, neither is prepared for what follows.

Caleb runs a tight ship as the workaholic tour manager. There isn't room in his life—or his business—for Jo's impulsive nature. But when their guitarist drops out mid-tour and Jo is the only one who can keep the rhythm of the band, an unexpected bond is forged.

With Caleb's steady support, Jo slowly rediscovers her talent and begins to feel alive for the first time in years. Yet while Caleb can start to hear the music of his heart, he doesn't want to listen—he knows how this song ends.

As these two begin to fall for each other, they must decide whether they're brave enough to accept their connection. Because allowing someone in means letting go of the past.

Set against the backdrop of a European summer, Twice in a Lifetime is a deeply moving testament to the healing power of love and music, and the courage it takes to choose life after loss.

The story was beautifully written, and what a pleasure to hear two Fantastic actors performing it.

A lovely story and two fantastic performances

The narrators were brilliant making the characters come alive as if they were in the same room. The story was fresh, the dialogue funny and the leitmotif, whilst a little unreal for one of the characters, was forgiven by the excellent building up of the plot. I loved it.

A lovely enjoyable story.

I did enjoy this book overall. Big fan of Connor Swindells. I found the actual prose unnecessarily descriptive and far too much at times, like words had just been added in for the sake of it. The same phrases were constantly repeated. Easy listen.

Nice listen
