About this listen
From the author of The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle.
A charming, joyful and surprising story about love, friendship and learning to be true to yourself, Becoming Ted will steal your heart.
Ted Ainsworth has always worked at his family's ice cream business in the quiet Lancashire town of St Luke's-on-Sea.
He doesn't even like ice cream, though he's never told his parents that. When Ted's husband suddenly leaves him, the bottom falls out of his world.
But what if this could be an opportunity to put what he wants first? This could be the chance to finally follow his secret dream: something Ted has never told anyone ...

Huge thank you to Joe and @headlinebooks for my #gifted copy of the book and to Matt Cain for such a fantastic read!
“It’s never too late to follow your dreams…41 year-old Ted Ainsworth has worked in his family's ice-cream business, in the quiet Lancashire town of St Luke's-on-Sea, for his whole life. But the truth is, Ted has never wanted to work for the family firm - he doesn't even like ice cream, though he’d never tell his parents that. And when Ted's husband suddenly leaves him, the bottom falls out of his world. But Ted isn't alone. His best friend, the flamboyant Denise, is determined to help - she hasn't forgotten that he once helped her through her worst time. She knows that Ted has a secret dream, and she's going to help him on his way, despite his parents, the disapproval of locals, and a series of mysterious letters that may threaten the happiness of Ted's nearest and dearest… .”
What an uplifting read! Following along on Ted’s journey to becoming who he really is and always wanted to be.
I cannot STAND Giles!! The snippets that are shared of his and Ted’s interactions made me feel so sad that Ted had been stuck with him for almost 20 years!!
Watching Ted blossom into his own was like watching a sibling realising their dreams. Filled me with pride at his bravery ❤️
I really enjoyed the inputs from the sideline characters like Oskar and Denise. The really helped to round the story for me.
I am now really excited to read Matt’s previous book The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle 🥰
Such a heartwarming and empowering read for anyone!
