Summary

A novel about friendship, romance and learning to love yourself - just the way you are.

When Olivia Tennyson - or Ollie to her friends - was 16, she wrote a Dream List of all the things she wanted for her life, including a happy marriage and a family. But at 29, Ollie is single, living at home with her over-protective and manipulative mother and is feeling like her dreams are getting further out of reach.

It’s time for a change.

It’s time to take matters into her own hands.

Without telling her mum, or more importantly, asking her permission, Ollie finds the perfect place to start her new life. End Cottage has a duck-egg blue front door, a garden that leads to acres of forest and definitely counts as her dream home. Now all Ollie has to do is complete the rest of her list and find out who she really is, before she can imagine any romance coming into her life. After all, how is she going to find her dream man in the middle of a forest....

Listening to Beth Moran’s gorgeous novels makes every day better. Uplifting, smart, with unforgettable characters and gorgeous settings, it’s impossible not to fall in love with a Beth Moran story. Perfect for all fans of Jill Mansell, Julie Houston and Jenny Colgan.

Love Beth’s stories

The characters are loveable and the narrator brings them to life with the different voices. The story drew me in straight away and didn’t want to stop listening. This has the potential for a second book so we find out what happens next to all the people we have met in the book. Recommended read 👍

This story was so easy to listen to it was like a soothing hug!

Approaching 30 and striving for independence this character puts love on hold and steps away from her manipulative mother for the first time.
It was very easy to listen to and made a pleasant change to the crime fiction I usually choose.

Great Story

This book is my Favourite from Beth. Yes live story but not a soppy one. It’s got meat on the bones if that makes sense

Loved Loved LOVED

The story was fast paced and I wished for a little more romance towards the end, but I understood that she was never really looking for romance:)
