About this audiobook
'A wonderfully warm, cosy, and inspiring read.' Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'I absolutely LOVED it!' Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Lucy Dillon is my go-to author when I need a pick-me-up - this new book is more of exactly everything I have come to love about her writing.' Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beth's life, like the unfinished screenplay on her laptop, is at a standstill.
Since her devastating breakup with Fraser she's retreated into a lonely working-from-home world of sweatpants, disordered timekeeping and comfort eating. The one luminous constant in her life is her love for her rescue dog, Tomsk, and his for her.
Even her ex's mum is worried about her, and in attempt to help volunteers a reluctant Beth as a writer for a project called The Story of Your Life, run by the local retirement community. Some of the stories Beth hears reveal a little more than the teller realises . . .
When she is sent a story of first love that threatens to destroy more than one family's identity, Beth faces an impossible decision that causes her to question:
Is it too late for the biggest surprise ending of all?
