Publisher's Summary
Paul manages an old-school plastics factory that has pivoted during the pandemic to making face masks and is now booming. Along comes Emily, the wayward daughter of an old friend, whom Paul hires to be his assistant, and she’s a sparkling force determined to prove her worth with the one chance she’s been given.
Imogen, a beautiful former acquaintance of Paul’s, also coincidently appears outside the factory, down on her luck and clearly full of ulterior motive. The masked truths of the women around him soon threaten to turn Paul’s quiet family life upside down.

Okay…
It wasn’t a bad book but I definitely wasn’t on the edge of my seat. It was all over rather sudden as there was no real build up with it just kind of ending. You were given a conclusion/resolution what felt like minutes after the conflict had arose. Just seemed like a mundane story of day-to-day life for the most of it. I don’t regret having listened to it though.

Easy listen, but very abrupt ending
This was an easy listen, it was a free book and it flowed nicely along an intriguing story line, with a very relevant covid-19 theme.
However, just as the story gets interesting, suddenly it was over, like being dumped by a huge wave. I was left a bit bewildered by the author's decision to rush towards an ending that was somewhat unexpected and while it tied up the loose ends, just felt rushed and unsatisfying.

A Good uncomplicated read
I really enjoyed this story which was topical and easy to listen to. I couldn't see what was coming and I felt all the characters were well written and interesting. It is refreshing to have a story which profiles people with high principles and is not full of crime and gore yet still holds some intrique. Well done Caroline, I always like your books!

easy read
I enjoyed the story and thought it was building up to a few twists but it didn't. The characters were good and well rounded. I think it could've ended on a bit more of a thriller but it just ...wavered off.

Gentle & Uncomplicated
A nice story about a nice man. I enjoyed listening and even felt a little sad for all the flawed characters. But then, aren’t we all flawed?

Pivoting in a pandemic and a touch of Thunderbirds
An easy read capturing everyday life in a pandemic. Paul is Mr Nice Guy; a successful entrepreneur who pivots his business in response to covid while trying to be true to his values, being humble, caring, empathetic and loyal to his employees and family. The story acknowledges the vulnerabilities of people in a pandemic, their fears, anxieties and hopes and dips into issues such as domestic violence, mental health and scammers.
Listening to this on Audible, I couldn't help but hear Thunderbirds Jeff Tracy in Paul (sorry narrator Luke Arnold). But I guess Jeff and Paul are kindred spirits, successful family guys who want to do right by everyone. F.A.B.

Something different 🙂
I found this story just easy going, no huge dramas and, unlike some reviewers, interesting. Makes a difference from the usual stories, and I love that about the author's book, they're unique 😊
