About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Lydia, Robyn and Dean don't know each other - yet.

They live very different lives, but each of them, independently, has always felt that something is missing.

What they don't know is that a letter is about to arrive that will turn their lives upside down.

It is a letter containing a secret - one that will bind them together, and show them what love and family and friendship really mean....

I listen to a lot of thrillers and murder mysteries. This book was a beautiful reprieve with lovely, kind characters.

I would have to rate this book up there as one of my favourites of all time. I smiled and laughed and held my breath and hoped for love and comforted myself throughout this audiobook.
The narrator was fabulous.
I will miss all the characters as I have taken them into my heart and feel I know them all so well.
I have been left so uplifted and content after this read

As usual the story was amazing but it could have been cut short 2 hours as in parts a bit long winded … to much detail
Narrated beautifully
Look forward to the next book

Great story telling

Another fantastic storyline by Jewell, however, I was somewhat disappointed by the end of this book - there was so much opportunity to take some of the character plots further. I feel like the end of the book was rushed and came to an abrupt end. There was such a build up of some plots (I.e the Robyn/Jack/Thomas and Maggie/Mark plot lines that didn’t really go anywhere). Again, I love Jewell and the story had been set up perfectly but I was really hoping for more towards the end of this one!

Great story line… until the end
