About this listen

Lily is back from Australia for the first time in seven years to spend Christmas at her mum’s house in a small, gossipy English village. To her surprise, she returns to find that her mother is dating the man next door, who also happens to be the father of her ex-boyfriend Tom. Tom, who broke Lily’s heart all those years ago. Tom, the real reason Lily fled to the other side of the world and stayed there. Tom, who is also home for Christmas and right there, next door.

In what is shaping up to be the worst Christmas ever, somehow Lily and Tom have to try to get along and play happy families, but living with the man who she is clearly not over is proving to be difficult, and tensions are high. Add in some drunken caroling, a reindeer bite, a potent Christmas pudding and some meddling parents and Lily’s trip home will turn her entire life upside down.

Starting listening this morning and couldn't stop, had to go to work, very inconvenient. Not sure how you managed it Kate Forster but you tugged at my heart strings only an hour after the funniest line I've read in a long time!

Loved it

This is a light hearted book with plenty of warmth and humour that is easy to relate to. I loved listening and laughing as I pottered around the house.

A funny and joyful book

What a lovely story about people who hold back their feelings. Not uncommon and very sad as you look at the years wasted. In this case it was a wonderful story

Nice one

Cute second chance romance that had me laughing out loud at times, groaning with frustration when people didn't communicate, but most of all had me smiling as I listened.

Rachel Tidd is a new narrator to me, and I will be listening to more

Cute!
