Story
Privacy is hard to maintain in Badara, the kind of small Australian country town where everyone knows everyone else's business. So discovers single mum Paige when she and her three children arrive from the city seeking refuge. Paige's only respite from child care and loneliness is the Tuesday gym club, where she had feared the judgement of the town matriarchs, but she is met only with generosity and a plethora of baked goods. Besides, both the brusque Marion and her polished sister-in-law Briony are too busy dealing with their own dramas to examine hers.

Story
As she approaches thirty, dedicated nurse Ellie Sutton's life is how she wants it—well, almost. Her younger sister, Carrie, seems to have it all sorted though: a successful hair business, a devoted new boyfriend and a rosy future together. Even Ellie's brother, Bodhi, is settled with his petite, super-chill chef girlfriend, Ingrid. So why does Ellie suddenly give up her career and family for the red dust and toil of an outback cattle station? She's never run from anything before—it's new territory in more ways than one.

Jenny Hayward cannot believe that she's become a divorced fifty-year-old woman with adult children. When did that happen? It wasn't that long ago that her three daughters were still young, and Jenny was following her dream studying for her nursing degree. In the last two years, since her husband walked out, Jenny hasn't had the time to be interested in other men until she is thrust unexpectedly into the world of dating when her daughters and her best friend secretly set her up with a profile on a dating app. Initially outraged, Jenny finally agrees that it's time to move on.

Publisher's Summary
How well do you really know the people you work with?
For work wives Debra and Quinn, it's a case of opposites attract. They are each other's lifelines as they navigate office politics and jobs that pay the bills but don't inspire them.
Outside work, they are also friends, but where Quinn is addicted to dating apps and desperate to find love, Deb has sworn off men. Although Deb is not close to her own mother, her teenage daughter is her life and there's nothing she wouldn't do to protect her. But Ramona has other ideas and is beginning to push boundaries.
Life becomes even more complicated by the arrival of a new man at the office. One woman is attracted to him, while the other hoped she'd never meet him again.
But when Deb, Quinn and Ramona are forced to choose between friends, love and family, the ramifications run deeper than they could ever have expected.
The latest novel by bestselling, ABIA award-winning author Rachael Johns will make you laugh, cry and wonder what secrets your friends are keeping!

Missed CW's narration
A different type of story to this wonderful authors normal stories... it was ok but much prefer Rachel's farming community stories and in depth characters much more
Certainly missed CW's wonderful narration and voice too on this one. . Found the narators voice squeakily annoying.

A bit overdone
I found this book a bit predictable and the big 'twist' an overdone trope. I actually tried to return it after the first couple of chapters because I wasn't enjoying the story or the narration, but wasn't able to for some reason so I persevered. Definitely not my favourite recent read.

A Ho Hum from me.
Not really my type of story but I lasted the distance. I found it somewhere between mundane and far fetched. I wasn’t a fan of the narrators high pitched voices, but it was read well. I went for the entire ride, but was looking forward to the end.

Easy listening. Likeable characters.
* mild spoiler*
Hated that the “twist” perpetuates the patriarchal “good guy” vs “monster” dichotomy. Monsters can be charming and the men we least expect.
