Summary

**Can one woman’s marriage survive her best friend’s divorce? Veronica Henry meets Erica James in this gorgeous summer read.**

Octavia Shelton thought she’d have a different life. One where she travelled the world with an exotic husband and free-spirited children in tow.

Instead she’s married to safe, reliable Jonathan, and her life now consists of packed lunches, school runs and mountains of dirty washing. She’s not unhappy. It’s just that she can barely recognise herself.

So as Octavia watches her best friend’s marriage break up, it gets her thinking. What if life could be different? What if she could escape and rediscover the person she used to be? Escape back to the island she visited years ago? And what if the man she used to love was there waiting for her?

A little predictable

Narrator was very good. The story could have been told in a much shorter book, but perhaps that's because I could guess what was going to happen and that made it feel too drawn out. I wasn't on the edge of my seat at any point but I stayed with it as it was a good enough way to distract me on my train journeys. I'm probably better with a mystery or whodunit. If you like a good old fashioned romance, then you'll probably like this.

Excellent as always

Just listened to this on my sun lounger in Gran Canaria and wasn’t disappointed. All of Kerry’s books are awesome and resonate with real life situations, fantastic read!

Loved this!

For me this was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of life.
A story full of emotion best of all humour.
Brilliantly written and read.
