About this listen

The wonderful and heartwarming new novel full of secrets, lies and family ties from Sunday Times best-selling author Cathy Kelly.

Bess is hoping to show everyone just how happy her recent marriage is, but behind all the party planning the cracks are beginning to show. Why is joining a family so difficult?

Jojo, Bess' stepdaughter, has a point to make. Bess is not her mother, and she won't replace the one she's been missing every day for the last two years. And will she ever get the chance to become a mum herself?

Cousin Cari is a fierce career woman who isn't unnerved by anything - apart from facing the man who left her at the altar, and he's on the guest list. Her job has been a safe place to hide ever since - but is it time to let love into her life again? Thanks to laughter, tears and one surprise appearance, the Brannigans might just discover the secrets of a happy marriage...but will they find out before it's too late?

Read by Caroline Lennon.

Hard to get into, but worth the wait

Now maybe it was my head-space, but I felt that this book took a little while for me to “get” the characters. Not all with Cath Kelly, I’m straight in, 100% invested. Once I fell for the scratchy Carrie and stopped hating on Bess, it was a lovely ride. Thank you as always, what you do is freaking amazing.
Ps. I loved the inside knowledge about being an editor and the commitment needed to get the authors across the line!!!!

Good Read

Pretty good read, love the Narrator! Only downside, I found the ending too fast and severe!

Wearisome

I tried my best with this book, but gave up on chapter 11. To much description and flitting from one character to another and time zone with no coordination. I could not really get into the story
I hate giving up on a book as it is a waste of money and Audible are not generous with their return system.

Hard to follow

A tricky listen, a lot of characters with no distinction in performance by the narrator between characters which means you need to focus intently and not just enjoy it. A bit of an empty plot and storyline.
