What begins as an earnest spring clean soon spirals out of control. Lou's loved ones grow disgruntled.

Loved it but it’s a new edition! I already had it!
Audible tells us when we already have a book in our library but if they bring out a new edition with a new cover design for example then they don’t! If a few years go by you may have forgotten, just like I did, and then you end up buying it again.
Audible, please rectify this as it’s very frustrating.

I absolutely loved this Millie Johnson book. The humour is magnificent. She made me chuckle whilst listening. Also Colleen Prenderghast, the way she interprets the characters allows them to come alive and become believable. Millie has a great understanding of human nature, especially a woman’s perspective showing compassion mixed with humour and encouraging us to rise above adversity giving us all hope. You know it is a good book when you are sad it has finished. Enjoy.

Another Brilliant Book from Millie Johnson
Millie Johnson never fails to serve up another brilliant book. Each one of her books is different & never fails to keep the listener hooked.
As per usual I always feel disappointed when it ends.
I would definitely recommend it.
