Summary

If your life fell apart, could you start again?

The New York Times bestseller.

Maggie Jacobsen is just about to step into the bright future she’s worked so hard and so long for: her dream job, a fiancé she adores and the promise of a perfect life just around the corner. But on what should have been the happiest day of her life, everything she worked for is taken away in a single catastrophic moment.

In hospital Maggie is forced to confront the unthinkable. First there is her fiancé, Charlie, wallowing in self-pity while demanding forgiveness. Then there’s her sister Kit, who shows up after pulling a three-year vanishing act. Finally there’s Iain, her physical therapist, the one the nurses said was too tough for her. Iain, who won’t let her give in to her despair, who makes her cry, but also manages to make her laugh . . .

Maggie’s new life is nothing like she expected. But could it be more than she had ever dared hope for?

How to Walk Away by Katherine Center is an uplifting story of learning to live – and love – again.

Standard chicklit really.

Nothing special I don't think. Got bored of the story towards the end and characters became irritating. The narrator also had an annoying voice and terrible Scottish accent.

Awful Scottish accent

The story was good but the Scottish accent was worse than bad. Spoiled the performance.

good yet predictable plot, terrible Scots accent!

Easy to listen to, a good pace, general plot was interesting, just a bit predictable and rubbish attempt at a Scottish accent! It should have had multiple readers in my opinion.
