About this listen

An emotional, uplifting book club pick from the Sunday Times bestseller Debbie Howells

Imagine for a moment, your husband leaves you. Then through a bizarre twist of events, you find yourself working with the girl he’s left you for – and even worse, she's pregnant...

All Louisa wants is the impossible. To find a straightforward man, who isn’t remotely messed up. Now there’s a thought... But does such a man even exist?

All she knows is that she doesn’t need any more complications in her life. She has enough to deal with, with one best friend with a very strange horoscope habit, and the other dealing with a screwed-up husband. Not to mention dealing with her own ex-husband and his pregnant new girlfriend, who seems to need Louisa to give them relationship counselling!

She resolves that maybe a life of helping other people find their happy-ever-afters is enough for her. But then handsome vet Marcus walks into her life. And everything changes…

Set in the Hampshire countryside against a background of horses, dogs and vets, this is a story about friendship, love, and finding the impossible, just when you least expect it! Perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond and Jojo Moyes.

Narration brings out the best

The book is well read so fine for doing the housework as huge chunks can be missed whilst vacuuming without having to catch up. The plot is weak and inconsistent, the main character is irritating and the animal knowledge is far too weak and poorly researched for a novel set around a vets practice.

In parts of the book, Louisa comes across as useless at her job then in other parts she's the pivot of the practice. She's shallow, sarcastic and judgemental yet she's treated as the fountain of wisdom by all the other characters.

Unsurprisingly self-published.
