About this listen

It's New Year's Eve, and at a house party, three women bond over dodgy cocktails and fortune cookies, and vow to make this year their best one yet. But as the months unfold, Gemma, Saffron, and Caitlin find themselves tested to their limits. Under pressure, they are each forced to rethink their lives. But dare they take a chance on something new?

A beautiful story from beginning to end. Friendships, families, relaionships and the curved ball which we all have to endure from time to time. So true to life and such likeable and colourful characters. Another great read from Lucy Diamond. Absolutely loved it !!

Easy

Depressing story, bland narrator, jumps all around. Tried to listen to it several times but gave up.

Hard to follow

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I couldn't finish listening to it. It was all about a woman's misery and things that kept going wrong with her life and everyone elses. A depressing book. The narrator was quite good.

Too much sadness
