About this listen

From bestselling author Amanda Prowse comes the poignant tale of a woman who has always been there for her family. But will they be there for her?

Rae-Valentine and Howard were childhood sweethearts. They’ve shared twenty-five peaceful years since they were brought together by Dolly, Howard’s larger-than-life sister. But now, on the night of their wedding anniversary, Howard reveals a shocking betrayal that leaves Rae reeling.

Heartbroken, she takes Dolly on her would-be anniversary trip to Antigua and the two women drink and dance and talk like they haven’t in years. But in the break from real life, Rae realizes her choices have always been made for her, and suddenly she’s questioning not only her fragile marriage but also her one-sided friendships. Is she really the pushover everyone else sees?

When Howard comes looking for reconciliation, Rae has a choice to make: keep the peace, as she always has, or put herself first for once and find out who she really is.

Really enjoyed this story, it would be a great summer read for all Mum's in their 30's and 40's. I really hope there is another book in the series so we can find out about Rae's adventures.

Loved the characters, I hope there is a book 2

I rarely listen to a book read by its author as the ability to write doesn’t necessarily mean an ability to narrate. However this book knocked the theory out of the park. Both the story content and narration are superb. I heartily endorse you listening.

Superb

Initially I was wary of listening to a book narrated by the author as I believed (wrongly, as it turned out) that narration by a 3rd party would add a different element to the story, allowing me to enjoy the story from different perspectives. In this case, the author narrates so beautifully that it felt as if the listener is given a very private insight into the actual writing of this book. The characters are all recognisable with similar traits to people you actually know and are strong enough that no effort is required to differentiate using (sometimes ridiculous) different timbre or accent. I’m almost scared to try another by the same author, for fear of it not matching this book in storyline or narration. Watch this space!

Realistic and very believable characters.

story is simple and could have been told much simply. it can be quite repetitive in places and listen out to how many times the protagonist talks about how she's a girl in the corner.

long-winded

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The lower end of chick flick books. Characters not very believable. a wanna be Shirley Valentine without the flair.

contrived

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Was rather disappointed with this. It was not a compelling listen but just ok. rather disappointed I wasted a credit on it to be honest.

Just OK
