About this listen

A funny, feel-good, festive listen about rediscovering the magic of Christmas - just the thing to curl up with on a cold winter's night.

Every Christmas Lizzie promises herself that things will change. And yet here she is again at the beginning of December, and nothing is different. Her girls have grown up and left home, her husband, Henry, is slumped in front of the TV and she is alone in the kitchen, seeking refuge in the cooking sherry and talking to her Gary Barlow calendar. She’s also been very diverted by handsome new neighbour Marcus, and she knows she shouldn’t be....

So when best friend Ann suggests a weekend away in the country, Lizzie jumps at the chance. Will this give Lizzie some much-needed perspective and allow her to mend her marriage? Or will Marcus prove to be too much of a distraction?

This is a Standard chic flick story. Didn’t really like the narrator voice. However a easy read

Good Rom com

Absolutely loved it! Was expecting the usual Christmas mush which although lovely can get a bit boring. This was a great story set seeing Christmas and I’ll look out for more by this author

Not your usual cheesy Christmas novel

Most heartwarming roller coaster read that's fantastically written. Was sad when it finished hope there's more like that

Gripping

Story line was ok but narrator was sadly very whiny with each character’s voice which was a shame.

Narrator annoying

The narrator was so annoying. I always want to finish any book I download but no not this. The narrator is so annoying and I can’t listen any longer. Story not interesting enough to put up with a minute longer!

Can’t bare to listen anymore

I could not stand to listen to more than a few minutes of this book. the women's voice was like finger nails down a black board. the book may have been good but I could not find out.

yuk.

The story itself was ok, though the link to Xmas was tenuous at best. It was spoilt though by the narrator’s attempt to give each character a voice. Each one became more whiney and irritating than the last. Not good

Oh dear

Narrator was very irritating and not suitable for an adult book

Loved the story although plot predictable and narrator very irritating
