Summary

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of White Lies and Wishes by Cathy Bramley, read by Colleen Prendergast.

What happens when what you wish for is only half the story?

Flirtatious, straight-talking Jo Gold says she's got no time for love; she's determined to save her family's failing footwear business.

New mother Sarah Hudson has cut short her maternity leave to return to work. She says she'll do whatever it takes to make partner at the accountancy firm.

Bored, overeating housewife Carrie Radley says she just wants to shift the pounds - she'd love to finally wear a bikini in public.

The unlikely trio meet by chance one winter's day and, in a moment of carpe diem madness, embark on a mission to make their wishes come true by September.

Easy. At least it would be if they hadn't been just the teensiest bit stingy with the truth....

With hidden issues, hidden talents and hidden demons to overcome, new friends Jo, Carrie and Sarah must admit to what they really, really want if they are ever to get their happy endings.

A feel-good romantic comedy that's guaranteed to make you smile - perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Trisha Ashley and Katie Fforde.

Fun story, perfect for summer beach reading

Listened to this on audible but would have loved the read too. Super narration. Fabulous characters. I listened on the beach, in the car, on my phone. Couldn't ' put it down!

Charming if predictable

Not my favourite Cathy Bramley but I did enjoy it . Colleen Prendergast narration is amazing and brings the characters alive and I did find that I liked them and their quirks. I guessed the outcomes so yes a little predictable

A Great Book to listen to.

I do love a Cathy Bramley book and also love the narrator Colleen Prendergast, she has the gift of sucking me into a story and makes.me feel like I'm there living the journey with the characters.
Three women, completely different lives and personalities become friends. They all make a wish and their goal is to make the wishes a reality but its not without problems.
A fab book and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.
