Summary

A heartwarming romance about being true to yourself - can friends become lovers?

One secret could change everything...

One New Year’s Eve, Georgie James and her friends come up with a genius plan to help them stick to their resolutions… They all write down secrets, seal them in envelopes and then post them to each other. The secrets will be revealed at the end of the year if they haven’t kept their resolutions.

It’s perfect. Except…

Georgie's secret is BIG... and revealing it could destroy their friendships. She has no idea why she chose that one to write down. There are plenty of innocent things she could have said – even admitting she finds newcomer Raf incredibly annoying would have been better.

What she does know is that there’s no way she can let her secret be revealed. Which means she needs to keep her (nightmare) resolutions and, most importantly, get her envelope back before anyone can open it. Which, given she sent her secret to Raf, means spending a lot more time with him than she’d choose to...

An absolutely gorgeous and heartwarming romance for fans of Beth O’Leary and Mhairi McFarlane

Heart warming, easy listen

I really enjoyed this. It’s a good story and very easy to get drawn into. The concept behind this story is really good - I enjoyed the New Year’s resolutions and secrets idea, not your usual romcom trope.
The blurb makes out this story is just about Georgie but it isn’t. It’s very much about two women, their loves and their friendship and I enjoyed the way it was written from both sides. I also worked out Georgie’s secret quite early on in the story, which made it slightly more predictable but still enjoyable. What was really good about this story was the way the characters were with each other. Their reactions, thoughts and feelings seemed genuine, and like the way people would actually behave, instead of the over the top, dramatic characterisation you sometimes get in a romcom.
The performance was really good, though I’d listen on at least 1.2x personally, as it’s a little slow. There’s also quite a few places where the wrong name is used, Declan instead of Daniel etc. hence the 4 stars.
Overall, it’s a lovely book, and definitely worth a credit. It’s not my favourite Jo Lovett, which is still The House Swap, but it’s definitely up there.
