Summary
Some people are just made for each other....
When seven-year-old Fran first met Will they knew instantly that they were made for each other. For 11 years they were inseparable, but then, at the age of 18, Will just upped and disappeared.
Twenty-five years later Will is back.
Is fate trying to give them a second chance?
Still nursing the heartbreak from all those years ago, Fran is reluctant to give Will the time of day. The price Will must pay is to tell the truth - the truth about why he left, the truth about why he’s back....
And Fran has her own secrets to hide. The time has come to decide what Fran and Will really want from life - before it’s too late.
Unashamedly romantic, Before We Grow Old is an audiobook full of love, laughter and tears, and you’ll be rooting for Fran and Will from the moment you meet them. Let Clare Swatman whisk you away for the love story of the year. Perfect for fans of Sophie Cousens and Isabelle Broom.

okayish!
Although the story line was good, I have to admit jumping a few chapters towards the end as I got a little bored! The end was touching though.

Just... wow. So lovely, so heartwarming, so moving
I was reduced to tears... this book is just so incredibly written, raw and honest without being overly dramatised or over-egged. The narration was flawless - as usual Karen performs each role perfectly - rounding out each character & taking us on the rollercoaster that is "Before We Grow Old". Clare has made something magical here - not you usual love story - but so much better for it.
