One chaotic family. Jess’ gifted, quirky daughter Tanzie is brilliant with numbers, but without a helping hand she’ll never get the chance to shine. And Nicky, Jess’ teenage stepson, can’t fight the bullies alone. Sometimes Jess feels like they’re sinking....

One handsome stranger. Into their lives comes Ed Nicholls, a man whose life is in chaos, and who is running from a deeply uncertain future. But he has time on his hands. He knows what it’s like to be lonely. And he wants to help....

One of the best audio books!! (listened to 300)

This book is one of the best audio books I have listened too. And I listened to around 300 to 400 audio books so far.
The story just draws you in. A bit of a slow start but it is absolutely fantastic!
You won't regret listening to it! Promise!

Loveable characters faced with difficulties

Jess is a wonderful character I could relate to. Stand by your man and it will all turn right in the end. But everyone has different ethical views and it can rock your confidence to learn that. It’s a year of facing so many difficulties.
Any person who wants to help a young person with trust issues could learn something from watching Jess’ interaction with Goth boy.

Absolutely wonderful.

Once again I’ve been totally entranced by JoJo Moyes. Her capacity to make you feel present in the moment to the exclusion of all else going on around you is simply inexplicable. Drawing you in to the dramas & emotional roller coaster of the lives of her characters. And being thoroughly supported by the talented narration adds another level of enjoyment.

Wonderful story

This story was wonderful, it was engaging and even though it was predictable as are most romantic novels, the characters were were so likeable I wanted the ending the book gave them. I enjoyed the performances and the pace of the book.
