About this listen

From bestselling author Amanda Prowse comes a spellbinding story about two sisters, one choice—and a lifetime of consequences…

For identical twins Remy and Ashleigh, everything changes with one childhood decision. A simple act of love that unwittingly alters the paths they will both walk—an act of love that will echo through decades…

As the years unfold, their lives take dramatically different courses. Ashleigh soars through a glittering London career with the perfect house and family, but beneath her success lies a gnawing truth: her whole life is built on a lie. Meanwhile, Remy stays close to home, finding joy in simple pleasures, yet forever feeling the weight of being ‘the other twin’—the one who didn’t shine.

Both sisters long for the uncomplicated closeness they once shared, but can they find their way back to each other? And after a lifetime shaped by that single childhood choice, is it too late to become the people they were meant to be?

This emotionally compelling story asks challenging questions about paths not taken, and about making peace with the life you have, rather than the one you might have expected.

Life as Planned is a tender, emotionally perceptive novel that explores how a single moment can fracture a family’s sense of certainty. Prowse writes with her signature compassion, drawing readers into the lives of Remy and Ashleigh as they navigate love, loss, and the quiet ache of dreams reshaped by circumstance. The story unfolds with a gentle pace, allowing the characters’ vulnerabilities to surface in ways that feel authentic and deeply human.

What stands out is Prowse’s ability to illuminate ordinary lives with extraordinary empathy. She captures the tension between hope and heartbreak, and the resilience required to rebuild when life veers off course. While the themes are poignant, the novel ultimately offers warmth and optimism, reminding readers that healing often arrives in unexpected forms.

A moving, relatable story for anyone who has ever had to rewrite their future with courage and grace.
