Summary
From bestselling author Amanda Prowse comes the poignant tale of a woman who has always been there for her family. But will they be there for her?
Rae-Valentine and Howard were childhood sweethearts. They’ve shared twenty-five peaceful years since they were brought together by Dolly, Howard’s larger-than-life sister. But now, on the night of their wedding anniversary, Howard reveals a shocking betrayal that leaves Rae reeling.
Heartbroken, she takes Dolly on her would-be anniversary trip to Antigua and the two women drink and dance and talk like they haven’t in years. But in the break from real life, Rae realizes her choices have always been made for her, and suddenly she’s questioning not only her fragile marriage but also her one-sided friendships. Is she really the pushover everyone else sees?
When Howard comes looking for reconciliation, Rae has a choice to make: keep the peace, as she always has, or put herself first for once and find out who she really is.

Brilliant book!!
Great read! Had me hooked from the beginning. The way Rae felt when her husband made the confession and the way she acted were totally believable. Her friend /sister-in-law Dolly was so funny - even though she was a little selfish. I loved the shock ending with the little twist to the tail, I wasn't expecting that.
I'll read some more of this author's books.
Recommended!!!

Loved the characters, I hope there is a book 2
Really enjoyed this story, it would be a great summer read for all Mum's in their 30's and 40's. I really hope there is another book in the series so we can find out about Rae's adventures.

Not Bad: Like All Her Books
Another Amanda Prowse book with no real surprises, moderately engaging characters, and a bit of plot in one area (the end of the book, basically).
I listened to it whilst doing bits and bobs around the house or trying to go to sleep, and it was fine for those activities, as all of her books are. She's a prolific author and she reads well, which explains her fanbase, and she does actually give me hope that I might be published one day, which is nice. I digress:
This was a 3 star book with a 4 star ending, so I've given it 4 stars. I was fairly indifferent to the characters and their stories, and the author/narrator could work on doing different voices for each character, but this book was perfectly fine, with a handful of genuinely interesting moments.

Even though most of the story was predictable the twist at the end made it different

Chick lit at its predictable worst.
Chick lit at its predictable worst.
One dimensional characters play out in a tired and drawn out well worn plot.
