Summary

THE FEEL-GOOD NOVEL FROM THE MULTI-MILLION-COPY-SELLING AUTHOR

Two sisters. One important birthday. A year of taking chances.

When twins Annie and Lauren attend their older sister Chelsea's 40th birthday party at the Dorchester Hotel, they wonder why their lives are so different. Chelsea's husband is twirling her round the dance floor, while Annie's husband has gone fishing and Lauren's lover is at home with his wife and children.

Annie and Lauren decide it's time to make a change and turn their lives around, it's time they starting living for again. But have they left it too late? It's now or never.

Dragged on a bit

This book felt like it was really drawn out - constant repeats about fish/fishing. It seemed to really slow in the middle then rushed at the end. I felt the author made Annie and Lauren seem way beyond their years the way they were described, yet they are only 39. It was narrated as if they were in their late 60s to be honest. I did enjoy it and listened to it right to the end but I'm not sure I would recommend this one. Love Carole Matthews but this one wasn't for me 👍

Such a heart warming story

One of Carole’s best
I listened while driving and towards the end found myself grinning for the last 15 minutes of the book.

Such an encouraging story

A really great story of relationships good and bad , I love the way Carole brings it all together without the fairytale type ending.
Julia’s narration suits the story and the characters
