Story
Like many women, Clare Pooley found the juggle of a stressful career and family life a struggle, so she left her successful role as a managing partner in one of the world's biggest advertising agencies to look after her family. She knew the change wouldn't be easy, but she never expected to find herself an overweight, depressed, middle-aged mother of three who was drinking more than a bottle of wine a day and spending her evenings Googling 'am I an alcoholic?'

Story
Mabel Beaumont’s husband Arthur loved lists. He’d leave them for her everywhere. ‘Remember: eggs, butter, sugar’. ‘I love you: today, tomorrow, always’. But now Arthur is gone. He died: softly, gently, not making a fuss. But he’s still left her a list. This one has just one item on it though: ‘Find D’. Mabel feels sure she knows what it means. She must track down her best friend Dot, who she hasn’t seen since the fateful day she left more than sixty years ago.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
One green notebook. Six strangers. The chance to start being honest....
Six strangers with one universal thing in common: their lives aren’t always what they make them out to be.
But what would happen if they told the truth instead?
Julian begins The Authenticity Project - a small green notebook containing his ‘truth’ - to pass on and encourage others to share their own.
Little does he know that this small act of honesty will impact all those who come into contact with the book and lead to a life-changing world of friendship and forgiveness....

Enjoyable story spoilt by awful accent
This was an interesting idea for a story and the idea that no-one is really as they seem was a good one. The flawed characters were kept moderately real and many issues faced by the average person were addressed that is all except for the character Alice who gave fleeting acknowledgement of her coping mechanism for the stresses of new motherhood. It was disappointing that it was glossed over a bit while the issues of other characters were given a large amount of attention. What drove me crazy was the TERRIBLE Australian accent.. It became so incredibly irritating and when koala "bears" were referred to I almost gave up. The author and narrator really needed to get the Australian character so much more believable. He sounded so unlike any Aussie Ive ever heard (and I live in Australia) and his stereotypical characterisation was pretty awful. I listened to the book while driving and walking and the whole time I fluctuated between enjoying a pleasant story to being completely exasperated by the narration.

narrator
loved the story, however the narrator's attempt at the accents (particularly Australian) was really poorly executed and a bit awkward! lovely ending nonetheless ☺️

I like most people found the accents awful. I would have rather read this book than listened to this version.

Lovely Story
Really loved this book. 2 downsides though was the Aussie accent by the narrator (made me cringe every time) and the constant use of the word ‘obviously’ by the author.
But overall a really lovely book. Light and refreshing

Could handle the accent
I really wanted to enjoy this book & I tried to push through, but the Aussie accent (as others have said) is appalling. I couldn’t keep listening to the book & returned it.
