"This rambling, chatty audiobook draws listeners in slowly (sometimes painstakingly so) as it follows the lives of three dynamic women - jilted Gemma Hogan; literary agent Jojo Harvey; and bestselling English author Lily Wright, who "stole" Gemma`s boyfriend Anton. Gemma, hurt and betrayed by her best friend`s actions, must put her emotions on hold to care for her mam after her dad takes off with a younger woman.

We don`t want to tell you too much about this book. It is a truly special story and we don`t want to spoil it. Nevertheless, you need to know something, so we will just say this: It is extremely funny, but the African beach scene is horrific. The story starts there, but the book doesn`t. And it`s what happens afterwards that is most important. Once you have read it, you`ll want to tell everyone about it. When you do, please don`t tell them what happens either. The magic is in how it unfolds.
