About this listen
They say a change is as good as a holiday...but what if you don't want either?
Is her family's happiness more important than her own?
The first time Ashling Wood realizes her marriage is on the rocks is when her husband, Adrian, suggests they try nest parenting. Heartbroken, Ash suddenly finds herself living a double life—one week with her children, the next cohabiting with her happily single sister-in-law. Her friends think the modern custody solution is an exciting opportunity for her to spread her wings, but all Ash wants is her family back together.
An offer to renovate a seaside cottage seems like the perfect distraction for Ash while waiting for Adrian to come to his senses. She's determined to fix her marriage as well as the cottage, but life gets even more complicated when she meets local fisherman Dan Emerson.
Soon, each home-stay becomes more dysfunctional, while for the other week Ash enjoys the peaceful life of the beachside community. The more time Ash spends in Ragged Point, the more she questions what she really wants. Is a sea-change the fresh start she needs to move on?
When tragedy calls Ash back to the city, she's torn between the needs of her family and her future. Can her family life fit in with a permanent move to the beach, or could Ash's newfound independence attract Adrian back to the nest?

How good?!
I'm a Kiwi girl and contrary to popular belief, I absolutely adore Aussies and their accent! I got this book on a whim, as it came up on the $3.99 deal of the day. I was impressed by the reviews, so went for it. What a pleasant surprise! I've been in a bit of a slump, haven't read something I really loved in a wee while. I loved this book!
Ashling was such a loveable character, I found myself yelling "yes bitch!" several times while listening. Great writing, I'm definitely going to check out more from this author, and the narration was fantastic! Excellent experience all round. BTW I'm 29, happily married with no children - very different life to Ashling, but that's what reading is, right? Experiencing different walks of life. 5 Stars from me :).
