A gorgeous new festive book from the Kindle #1 bestselling author of The Ladies' Midnight Swimming Club
When Liv Latimer says goodbye to her colleagues and finishes work for the holidays, she's looking forward to a Christmas to remember with her boyfriend Eddie.
But before she makes it home, her phone rings, calling her back into work. And Liv is faced with a choice. Does she do as she's always done, and put herself second? Or, will she say no, so she can finally begin the life she's dreamed of?
Liv's decision will turn her world upside down in ways she could never have imagined.
Because whatever choice she makes, Liv is about to discover, fate finds a way...

Good story well told but oh my god the confusion
This book was not suitable for audio. I thought i was going mad the first few chapters I had no idea what was happening. I went to previous reviews to see if they would shed any light. So once I realised it was a sliding doors type scenario I could follow it easy enough except for the ending when the 2 scenarios interlinked. the narrator was excellent as usual she is the best I've experienced. Good story but could have had a disclaimer at the start to allow the listener to know what was happening

Confusing story line
Have to say it was a very confusing story line. Chopping and changing between the two. Like no other book I’ve read. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy it. I did. Just different from what I normally read/listen to.

Not ideal for an audio book
Have enjoyed other books by Faith Hogan but the way this one is written does not lend itself to an audio version. It wasn’t until I had struggled and replayed several of the early chapters then got the book version that I realised there was 2 different storylines because these are distinguished by 2 font styles. The narrator however, has nothing with which to advise the listener of the switch between them and I found it all too confusing. Usually there is a chapter title or if it’s a time slip a date or similar to let you know you are moving between storylines. Gave up listening on audible and read the book tho I only stuck with it because I had paid for both versions!! To be honest I didn’t catch on to the fact it was a version of ‘sliding doors’ until I checked out other people’s reviews by which time I had finished the book still none the wiser and had put it down as some confusing time slip novel that didn’t make sense! Much prefer the Midnight Ladies swim club.
