About this audiobook
The new warm and engaging novel from the bestselling author of Best of Friends.
Read by Niamh Cusack.
What makes you who you are?
Your job? Your kids? Your place in the family?
For Carrickwell residents, Mel, Frankie and Cleo, the answer was once clear and their roles were firmly defined.
Mel had a career. Frankie was a busy mum with a college-going son. And Cleo was ready to step into the family business once she’d finished her hotel management course. Until the landscape shifted.
Now Mel’s job comes second to the guilt of being a working mum-of-two. Her marriage isn’t even on the page.
Frankie has her mothering vocation whipped out from under her feet when her son flies the nest. She’s suddenly redundant and her fractitious widowed mother thinks they now have more in common and can start doing things together, dodgy hip notwithstanding.
And Cleo has to watch the family business crumble along with her relationship with family.
But inspiration on how to go forward comes from the most unlikely source.
And the three women find that it’s not what you do that ultimately defines you. It’s something more…

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Captivated from the beginning to the end,lovely chill out read
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well written. Good character development. Irish lit. Present day problems and solutions. Reminds me of Rosamund Pilcher and Maeve Binchey
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I didn't really enjoy the first half of this book. I didn't really like the characters other than Cleo. They had so many neuroses, so concerned about what other people thought about them & their actions. It did get better when they started to do what they wanted. They all learned that they'd made mistakes dealing with people and rectified them. The ending was rushed and a bit unfinished, all of a sudden everyones happy and the books over. I don't have kids, do working mothers and stay at home mothers really feel like that about each other? Is it really so judgemental between the 2?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this book! I really liked each character and identified with all of them in some way. It was an easy read and a page turner, especially the last hundred or so pages, I couldnt put it down. Definitely chick lit, butI would highly recommend this book!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5 stars.
An easy quick read. I liked it. Sometimes it was a bit too much. Like I love you but I pretend to hate you kind of thing which is more something I'd like to find only in a cheap romancy book but all in all it was a good read.
This was my first book by this author and I still have 2 more books to read by her which i borrowed from the library. Must read something with a bit more substance now, then i can read another one. ;)
