About this listen

The BRAND NEW emotional read from the NUMBER ONE bestselling author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont, that fans of Colleen Hoover, Cecelia Ahern and Gabrielle Zevin will love.What if there is life before we are born?

There are four of us: Samuel, Lucy, Thomas, and me – Eliza. And – if you’ve heard of the afterlife… well, we live in the beforelife.

We came into being the day Becca Valentine was born. We’ve been by her side ever since. What she doesn’t know yet, is that one day she might become our mother.

Then two men come into her life. Both seeking her heart. And then we realise: everything rests on Becca’s love story. Because one of the men is Lucy and Thomas’s father. And the other is mine and Samuel’s. And there’s simply no way we can all be born.

We all want her to make the right choice. We all want to be born. To hold her hand one day. To feel her stroke our hair. To call her our mother.

Then we discover there is something we can do. We can change Fate. But we only have a single chance each. How would you make sure you were born? And what if doing that isn’t what’s best for the person you already love the most in the world – your mother?

The most original, powerful, heartbreaking novel of the year, from the No.1 bestselling author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont.

Wonderful

When I read the description I had to listen to this straight away as i had never come across a storyline like it before. it was everything I hoped it would be. It was an emotional roller coaster and I look forward to listening to more from this author.
