Summary

An hilarious, comforting escapist listen for autumn 2022 that’s perfect for fans of Veronica Henry, Alexander Potter, Sarah Turner, Suzy Quinn, and Nick Spalding.

Awarded the Amazon KDP Select All Stars bonus for books that delight in May, June, and July 2022.

Escape with the care assistants of Elm Lodge.

Join Etta, Val, Jenna, Nicky, and Yana on their laugh-out-loud and truly uplifting journey of love, fresh starts, and unlikely friendships.

Meet the ladies of A Moment on the Lips:

Etta has had enough. At five-foot-three and size 20, she is determined to make a change. A change for herself, her daughter, and also a tiny bit to show her ex, Robert, that she is in fact not only good enough for him, but in fact far too good.

Jenna is being driven mad by her mother-in-law’s critical and overbearing personality. And with her wedding fast approaching, she’s determined to regain control of both her body and her big day.

Val is feeling lost and in shock after her husband of 30 years has up and left her. Why? Good question. Val really has no idea, but she’s determined to find out.

Nicky has been on a downward spiral since her divorce. Struggling to move on and lonely with only her cats for company, food has become her best friend.

Yana has new life in England. Despite marital bliss being everything she’d hoped for, Yana misses her family back in Russia and has developed some new habits that even her new husband isn't unaware of.

Together, they decide to regain control of their lives with hilarious results, and discover that it’s never too late to live the life they’ve always wanted.

A feel-good and completely heartwarming debut that proves all we really need in life is a few good friends.

Excellent book. Loved the narration, the different accents were so good. Great to have a feel good story. Not just about weight loss but support. I highly recommend listening to this book.

Funny and easy to listen to!

Absolutely loved this audio book. It had me laughing out loud at times. The narrator did great voices for the characters!

These women are such a fantastic bunch. They all supported each other through their weight loss journey and all the other things they had going on in each of their lives.

I am so pleased there is a second book coming out as I there is so much more I want to know about this fabulous group of women.

I will definitely be listening to this book again!

Started well

Started well but fell away and became repetitive. I became bored and couldn’t finish it. Narration a bit fast at times so not as clear as usual.

The best of everything you need in a book

J Taylor's writing in this is absolutely amazing, her plot line throughout the book is believable and written perfectly and this glorious group of characters I can see myself in one in particular.
I adored this book and read as a review copy some time ago. Hearing it like this makes me feel so proud at how far Jamie has come.
This book will make you laugh out loud and in the next chapter make you cry. You get so invested in these characters it was an amazing pleasure to read. Highly recommend

Heartwarming story of friendship

Loved listening to this beautiful story of how work colleagues became friends and confidants. It also has light humour. Perfect

Not my cup of tea ( nor scone ).

So, I have to say, not my cup of tea, I found it very hard to get into it but also struggled to finish - in fact, I stopped a quarter of the way through. If food and food issues are your thing, then probably this is the book for you, but for me, it lacked humour. It 'caters' to a niche audience.

Did. Not enjoy

Story was solely about dieting!! Skipped a lot of the descriptive weight-ins' which I found boring.
