About this listen

A wonderful, emotional roller-coaster from the No1, million copy bestseller Shari Low that keeps you guessing...

One day in summer, three lives are about to change forever.

After two decades of looking after others, this is the day that Agnetha McMaster is reclaiming her life. It's her turn, her time. But will she have the courage to start again?

Ten years ago, Mitchell McMaster divorced Agnetha and married her best friend, Celeste. Now he suspects his second wife is having an affair. This is the day he'll discover if karma has come back to bite him.

Thanks to a DNA test, this is the day that Hope McTeer will finally meet her biological father. But will the reunion bring Hope the answers that she’s looking for?

Three people. Twenty-four hours. A lifetime of secrets to unravel...

Perfect for the fans of Jojo Moyes, Beth Moran and Debbie Howells

I so thoroughly enjoyed this story. The narration as usual was awesome.
But I was so disappointed that the long story ended with a rush at the most important meeting, which was long-awaited throughout, and pff it was over.

Gave it 5 stars but a little rushed at end.

This book is set on a timeline of just one day but there is a lot of looking back, to more than 20 years before this one special day.

The characters are totally loveable, except for one huge exception, and this exception is the cause of much heartache. However, she is also responsible, in a very round about way—and with no effort on her part—for the happily ever after that the reader is hanging out for. This HEA is the culmination of years and years where a secret heartache is carried around by the main character. She lives her life...a life of blissful highs and despondent lows— a life not too dissimilar to a fair proportion of this crazy world’s population.

This is a book that makes you ache for two people who had their dream snatched from them by a so called friend, and it makes you want to commit violence against that so called friend.

I have never read anything by Shari Low before but I will certainly be reading more. Helen McAlpine’s narration is just perfect, she has a huge range of different voices, male as well as female and she does well with the American accent. I just love her native Scottish accent and though some might find it a little difficult to decipher, I had no problem as I have Scotland in my blood. 😁

Love laughter and heartbreak.

A great story with lots of character! Loved all the story lines and how they all blended in the end. Having had a similar event ourselves where my husband found a daughter and 4 grandchildren he never knew about and all through DNA it was especially intriguing for me!! Wonderful ! Thankyou Shari !

I just love all the characters !
