Summary

Is it a break? Or is it a blip?

Liv and Adam are in love. Liv and Adam are supposed to be getting engaged.

Until Adam accidently suggests they take a break. And Liv starts thinking....

Friends, family and bystanders all have opinions, and one complication leads to another as Adam and Liv try to muddle through in this hilarious, heartwarming comedy.

Are they split up - or are they on a break? What exactly are they allowed to get away with? And, most importantly, what do Liv and Adam really want?

Very slow, quite unbelievable and dissapointing

i have read many of Lindsey Kelk's books so was excited to listen to this one. this was my first audio book of Lindsey although i have read the i heart series and a few others, i was extremely dissapointed with this book, it took me a few months to complete it and that is only because i am stubborn with books and wont give up on them, i listened to several books in between this one and felt the story to be very far fetched, quite boring, the male lead character to be unlikable and generally very flat, the end finally arrived and i just felt relieved i could move on to another book, i wont spoil the end but its really is nothing to write home about,. i was dissapointed with the book, but that of course is just my opinion, i wouldn't really waste a credit on it but if it comes up in an offer, maybe give it a go?

Funny, emotional, relatable.

Enjoyed this book a lot. I got into it straight away and I loved the format, going back and forth getting both sides.
Funny, emotional, relatable.
The narrator's were also easy to listen to.

Loved listening to this book. Narration was great. Got into the characters but don't shout at it for the couple to talk to one another not through others lol. Recommended easy listening

*Will They Won’t They*

This would make a great RomCom the whole Will they won’t they moments we all recognise on screen, the misunderstandings and interference you have it all here. To be honest the two lead characters Adam and Liv were my favourite. They had a lovely holiday and on the last day was supposed to be the best. Adam had it all planned the big proposal and little does he know Liv already knows and is already feeling deflated as Adam so far had not been down on one knee.

Well the last day does not go to plan, Adams so called meticulous plan falls short.

Now back at home he decides he wants a break, he changes his mind, now Liv wants a break and everyone has an opinion. We see the backwards forwards of them almost on the verge of getting together and rows, a christening, and friends taking sides and a few laughs thrown in until it becomes a mess. So will Adam get it right? Will Liv say yes? And will they ever work things out……

Slow going at times

Interesting story but slow going for me at times, some bits made me laugh out loud, great when on the motorway, but most of the time to slow for me
