Summary

Can one woman's marriage survive her best friend's divorce? Fans of Veronica Henry and Erica James, this is the next book to add to your reading list.

It's time to get back to where it all began....

Octavia Sheldon thought she'd have a different life. One where she travelled the world with an exotic husband and free-spirited children in tow. But things didn't turn out quite like that. Married to safe, reliable Jonathan, her life now consists of packed lunches, school runs, and more loads of dirty washing than she ever thought possible. She's not unhappy. It's just that she can barely recognise herself any longer.

So as Octavia watches her best friend's marriage break up, it starts her thinking. What if life could be different? What if she could escape and get back to the person she used to be? Escape back to the island where she spent her summers? 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.

Yet another excellent story from Kerry.

Absolutely love everyone of Kerry's books. This is yet again been a book I've been gripped by from start to finish tense,exciting,emotional has it all and of course so true to life you can find someone to relate it to be it friends family or just a story you've been told not every aspect but most of the characters have some sort of thing in commen with them.highly recommended.keep them coming Kerry.So talented. Love it.
