Enjoyable listen

I liked the story but felt at times that it was a bit disjointed. Some bits didn't need to be in there. But on the whole it was an enjoyable listen.

Happy and sad.........but oh so perfect.

Julie Maisey really did give a heart and soul to each of the characters in this book. The fantastic author knows how to write a good story. I’ve loved each and everyone of her novels. But the narrators can be very hit and miss. This time they got it perfect with Julie. Her voice is young enough to have you believing each character is truly different. The author and narrator are a match made in heaven. Thank you.

The story swept you along..so real you became part of it and went back to those long lost times.

liked the family moving forward and you with them..no dramatic changes so was a nice easy listen...nothing to dislike.

Enjoyable

I am enjoying books by this author. No
murders, just everyday situations and struggles in the lives of characters you can relate to.
