Story
Arthur MacDonald, 85, is having an end-of-life crisis. His beloved, dying wife of over 60 years no longer knows who he is. His older brother still has all his hair and a wife almost half his age. The man his middle-aged daughter is dating has a ponytail. His teenaged grandson wants to cook desserts for a living. And his daughter wants him to move into Silvermine retirement home. Then Arthur meets the gorgeous, radical, 80-something-year-old Robbie and learns that nobody is ever too old to fall in love all over again.

Story
From Australia's master storyteller comes an endearing and engaging novella about a journey as unexpected, painful, intriguing and character-filled as life itself. A cruise was the promise. To cruise away from their troubles. To cruise towards the place where they first met, on the banks of the Thames. A cruise to dwell in their memories together and plan their next chapter. Paddy and Jenny Davern have had a long and happy marriage together in Sydney. Together they embark on a cruise to London, for the last leisurely journey in each other's company.

In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

Utterly boring

Publisher's Summary
If you both cheat, does that cancel the infidelity out altogether? Can you just wipe the slate clean?
Cam and Holly have a picture-perfect marriage and life: a beautiful house in the suburbs and two adorable little boys. Cam has sold his successful marketing agency to look after the boys while Holly goes full throttle on her career post-maternity leave, and everything’s peachy.
‘Til Cam discovers Holly has been having an affair with a colleague.
Heartbroken but pragmatic, Cam sees the situation as an opportunity to confess his own infidelity with his 21-year-old assistant. His thinking being a dual-infidelity situation means they cancel each other out...and their marriage will simply bounce back, and they’ll fall in love all over again. But a tangled web of lies and buried resentments makes starting over harder than he thought.
Zoë Foster Blake has written a provocative novella that rips off the glossy cling-wrap of being successful and married with young children. Clean Slate is narrated from the husband’s perspective and will invite listeners to rethink infidelity and how it can creep into a marriage.
Zoë Foster Blake is the author of 10 books, so you’d think she’d be capable of a sassier bio, frankly.
She has written four adult fiction novels, Air Kisses, Playing the Field, The Younger Man and The Wrong Girl, which was adapted into a Channel 10 network television series, four non-fiction titles, Textbook Romance, Amazinger Face, Break-Up Boss and LOVE!, and two children’s picture books, the award-winning No One Likes a Fart and soon-to-be released Back to Sleep. She is also the founder of the Australian skin care company Go-To.
Zoë lives in Melbourne with her husband and two children, who kindly let her make porridge each morning for them.
Clean Slate is her first Audible Original.

I really disliked this
I'm going against the grain here, All the positive reviews really sucked me in to listening to this. This was the most depressing, frustrating, awful book. I get that it was supposed to be realistic, and it certainly fitted in with the "high profile" yummy mummy and daddy persona, which isn't real for most people. These two characters were awful people, I actually disliked Holly more than Cam, she was so frustratingly annoying and arrogant, I didn't warm to her AT ALL. She actually reminded me of a lot of horrible yummy mummies I actually know. Perhaps that's why I disliked it so much. I'm so pleased I didn't fork out money for this. However I regret the time wasted and how the ending left a bitter taste in my mouth. I'm so sorry Zoe Foster Blake, I normally enjoy your books. On a plus side the narration was great.

Depressing
I really struggled to finish this depressing story about two selfish unlikable individuals. I really wish I had given up at the halfway point because what I really disliked most about the whole story was how it ended.

Look, I’m quite biased as I think ZFB can do no wrong but holy moly.
This was excellent.
My only gripe is that I can’t buy it as a physical copy to force on any poor soul who dares ask me for an easy but powerful read.
Honest, real, and brimming with real takeaways and emotional lessons. Click that download button right now. Do it. You won’t regret it.

Just Terrible
The narration was terrible. The children’s narration was awful. Worse, the story is just depressing and truly a waste of time. If you enjoy two people arguing for the entire duration then this book is for you. Better, If you also enjoy a miserable start to only end in much of the same, then have a listen. I received this book as part of audibles free listens. You get what you pay for. Awful!!!!
