Summary
A life-affirming story from million-copy bestselling author Amanda Prowse about having it all, losing it all, and how new friends can show each other the way back to happiness.
With kids to look after, an ailing mother and a neglected husband, life is full for Emma Fountain—too full, she realises, when she wakes up in IKEA after falling asleep in one of the show beds. Only her crazy, funny best friend Roz keeps her sane. But when Roz climbs in through her bathroom window one day to deliver terrible news, Emma’s belief that she can find a way around any obstacle crumbles in the face of a problem she just can’t fix.
For recently widowed Thurston, life without his beloved wife of sixty-two years has lost all its joy and sense of purpose. That is until he finds himself driving his niece to work one day and meets Emma, whose busy days are the opposite of his own. As Thurston is drawn into the whirlwind of Emma’s chaotic life, and as his calming influence starts to bring her troubles into perspective, an unlikely friendship grows.
In a world where grief is the price we pay for love, can two very different people realise that the little things in life are precious, that love is all around us, and that, even after all, they might still be very, very lucky?

Moving
What a great listen, touching, funny and lovely story line, makes you feel grateful and want to live in the moment. There were moments I teared up and moments I physically laughed out loud.

Classic Amanda Prowse
Made me smile and made me tear up. I could identify with over-loaded Emma and we should all have a Thurston in our lives!

A beautiful story of love, life and loss
I finished this book too soon, couldn’t stop listening. It was tender, laugh out loud funny and full of characters I grew to love.
I share much with the protagonist, including her name, my husband identified with Brendan when I read out some pieces, he confirms I am an arsehole at times. ( I know he is, but what am I)
Brilliant, entertaining story, full of every different kind of love.
I urge everyone to treat themselves to a wonderful listen. It will lift your heart and for a while make you forget your worries.

A lovely reminder
I have yet to read, or listen to, a book by Amanda Prowse that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. This was no exception. To hear the author reading her own work is also a delight - she has a very clear voice which is soothing to listen to.
The story is a gentle reminder to
us all that, no matter how bad things may be right now, we are very lucky to have the life we have and friends, family and other significant people in our lives are a very big part of our own personal story.
Amanda definitely has a wonderful understanding of the intricacies of - and all the relationships within - our lives and her books are interesting, believable and thoroughly enjoyable.

Marvelous!
This is Amanda Prowse at her absolute best! A moving story about life and all the chaos that comes with it. It's funny, sad and very, very real. one minute I was ugly crying, and the next, laughing out loud!! It's a roller-coaster of emotions and a reminder to appreciate the people we have in our lives.
