About this listen

Dottie and Mary forged a friendship over a bag of penny sweets when they were eight years old. They've shared everything together since then. Now, at seventeen, they're both shopgirls working at Woolworths.

As they go out in the world in pursuit of love and happiness and life becomes more complicated, the simplicity of their childhood dissolves. The heady excitement of first love will consume them both, but the pain of unintentional betrayal will test their friendship.

Deep

Absolutely brilliant, felt a little childish to start but so worth investing in as it becomes a very grown up deep story,I’d put it as one of my favourites!

A true loving friendship

An amazing story from start to finish.
So funny, poignant sad it tells the story of the love and times of 2 children growing up in the 60’s Brighton
Brilliantly narrated by Rebecca. She kept me gripped to find out what was going to happen next.
I will look for other books by the same author and hopefully narrated by the same person

Lovely, heartwarming story  With quite a few laughs

There  Wasn’t anything that I disliked the story was beautifully written. It took me back to my youth, reminded me of things I had forgotten. Made me laugh out loud, several times very heartwarming, if a little sad
