Summary

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SPARE ROOM

RACHEL THOUGHT THIS WAS HER YEAR. LIFE HAD OTHER PLANS.

1. Re-download Couch to 5K, and actually do the programme
2. Apply for promotion. Avoid projects about dog biscuits, 'miracle' grass seed, etc.
3. DO NOT agree to further dates with Laurence
4. Try to remember Mum means well (!!!)
5. Start using proper night cream with retinol

As her mother likes to remind her, Rachel Ryan is thirty with no partner, hardly any savings and no mortgage. But when she makes her resolutions she's sure this is her year.

By February things are not going to plan. Her career is in chaos as the new guy at work is none other than Jack Harper, who broke her heart at university - and despite herself the chemistry is still there. Plus her best friend has news that will change everything.

As life starts to fall apart around her, will Rachel be able to move on from the past and make some very different resolutions?

Maybe then she'll see what's right in front of her.

Don't miss this hilarious debut for fans of Beth O'Leary and Mhairi McFarlane.

Bit slow and predictable

If you want a nice little story to pass the hours then this is ok.

The reader is as fab - great voices and nice narration.

The story was very predictable and went on for too long in places.

Loved, loved loved this !

Beautifully crafted, gripping and sometimes very moving story, and truly excellent narration. Strongly recommend and can't wait for Ms Starkey's next book.

Nice story light read

Enjoyed the story. The characters grew exposing different layers of them throughout the story . I skipped through the 2 min diary entries half way though the book as they got repetitive and annoying. Worth a read a good holiday book.

i had this book in my wish list for 3 months before i bought it.
It's a feel good book with a few twists and eye rolls at the characters.

lovely story

I really liked this story and the sound effects the narrator did were a great addition, wish more narrators did this kind of thing.
The story was great and early on it wasn't obvious who she would actually end up with which is a change from the very obvious rom com.
I do have to say Rachel's 'best friend ' Anna came across as very judgemental and not very best friend at all in the latter part of the book, which made me angry on Rachel's behalf, she was nowhere near as bad as they made out.
sign of a good book when you feel emotions like that because you're so engrossed in the story though lol I also ended up crying at one point too 🤭

perfect easy rom com

I loved the story, characters, even the emotional part that made me cry. Only thing that got me was the noise of scribbling out the resolutions, the noise shocked me the first time then got a bit ott. otherwise a lovely escapism especially like it when it is acknowledged that woman don't need a man, house and or kids to be happy and successful :) my first listen from this author I will be listening to more 😊

I really enjoyed this book

I’ll be honest I wasn’t sure at the start, but then I was sucked in and finished the book in one evening. It was charming and brilliantly written. The story was awesome.
