About this listen

‘Witty, funny, warm and wise’ Marian Keyes

Is it a break? Or is it a blip?

‘You’ve just had a holiday,’ I pointed out, trying not to yawn. ‘Wasn’t that enough of a break?’
‘I don’t mean that kind of break.’

There’s nothing worse than the last day of holiday. Oh wait, there is. When what should have been a proposal turns into a break, Liv and Adam find themselves on opposite sides of the life they had mapped out.

Friends and family all think they’re crazy; Liv throws herself into work – animals are so much simpler than humans – and Adam tries to get himself out of the hole he’s dug.

But as the short break becomes a chasm, can they find a way back to each other? Most importantly, do they want to?

Enjoyed this book a lot. I got into it straight away and I loved the format, going back and forth getting both sides.
Funny, emotional, relatable.
The narrator's were also easy to listen to.

I very nearly quit listening to this one as the narrators were frustratingly slow (may be suitable for some, but I found it unbearable). then switched the speed up to 1.3 amd all was great. Interesting plot with a few twists, hillarios bits, liked the male/female thinking sounded out... overall thoroughly enjoyed.

Really liked the plot

Loved listening to this book. Narration was great. Got into the characters but don't shout at it for the couple to talk to one another not through others lol. Recommended easy listening

This would make a great RomCom the whole Will they won’t they moments we all recognise on screen, the misunderstandings and interference you have it all here. To be honest the two lead characters Adam and Liv were my favourite. They had a lovely holiday and on the last day was supposed to be the best. Adam had it all planned the big proposal and little does he know Liv already knows and is already feeling deflated as Adam so far had not been down on one knee.

Well the last day does not go to plan, Adams so called meticulous plan falls short.

Now back at home he decides he wants a break, he changes his mind, now Liv wants a break and everyone has an opinion. We see the backwards forwards of them almost on the verge of getting together and rows, a christening, and friends taking sides and a few laughs thrown in until it becomes a mess. So will Adam get it right? Will Liv say yes? And will they ever work things out……
