THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, FROM THE AUTHOR OF EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT LOVE

Narrated by Holliday Grainger, star of Lady Chatterley's Lover, Tell it to the Bees and Animals.

He said ‘I love you’. And then he disappeared.

Things that are going right for Nina Dean:

  • She’s found her dream job.
  • She finally has her own home.
  • She’s met Max, a beguiling romantic hero who has swept her off her feet.

Things that are going wrong for Nina Dean:

  • She has the neighbour from hell.
  • Her friendships are fracturing, and so is her parents’ marriage.
  • She hasn’t seen or heard from Max for weeks.

Just as everything ought to be falling into place, it’s all falling apart instead. Nina’s beloved dad’s memory is slipping away from him, and her mum is caught in a baffling mid-life glow-up. Her friends are becoming strangers and her exes are moving on. Everywhere she turns, she’s reminded of time passing.

The last thing she needs is another ghost.

I was absorbed

So beautiful, relatable - not a romance but about falling in love with yourself. The experience of listening is akin to talking to a good friend.

Thoughtful, funny, witty and at times deeply poignant

A beautiful told, (and narrated) story of a young woman's life. The joy, sadness and difficulties that women face trying to build a life, while also caring for their family and friends.
It's beautifully written and incredibly on point!

Great characters and story

Really liked how the author explored dating in today’s world in your 30’s and the power imbalance between men and women. Also the storyline about the main character’s dad felt very real and heartbreaking.

Engaging and well written.

A very engaging story, I couldn't wait to keep listening. Nina is a very relatable protagonist, loving a very familiar life. This is a modern Bridget Jones's Diary.
