About this listen

Tender, magical and captivating – a story of family, friends, and the unlikeliest of romances . . .

Read by Susan Lynch and Rupert Degas. What if love was right there in front of you – you just couldn't see it? Elizabeth Egan is too busy for friends. As a reluctant mother to her sister Saoirse's young son Luke and with her own business to run, every precious moment is made to count. But with Saoirse crashing in and out of their lives, leaving both her sister and her son reeling, Luke and Elizabeth are desperately in need of some magic. Enter Ivan. Wild, spontaneous and always looking for adventure, in no time at all Ivan has changed Elizabeth in ways she could never have imagined. But is Ivan too good to be true? Has Elizabeth opened her heart only to risk it being broken again? As for Ivan, he thought he was there to help Luke not Elizabeth – or himself…

Escapism

Lovely romantic fantasy, cleverly crafted and really sweet; sad, warm and just a lovely listen. Great narration too.

Hankies at the ready!

Have read this book in paper, on my phone & now listened to it. Still my absolute "favourite," as Ivan would say. I simply CANNOT stop crying at the end. It is a great ending & even though I know the ending.... I still cry! So funny at times & then so sad. However, It is heart lifting too, a must listen!

Really interesting story, disappointing ending.

Please don’t read this review if you don’t want spoilers!!!

The story throughout is really interesting, although I hate how Elizabeth apparently doesn’t realise what her mother is like. Growing up with an alcoholic myself, kids aren’t stupid, they’re very aware of these things, I just don’t find that storyline really believable and I hate how even before she realises that, she still holds someone who abandoned her on such a high pedestal. But most of all, I hate the ending. I hate the whole ‘we have to give up those who we love’ idea. Why couldn’t he just be honest, tell Elizabeth he’s not human, and live out her human life with her? I do t see how his story ended any easier than Opal’s? They both lost who they love, and both humans still died of old age, but at least Opal and her man got 20 years of love and happiness. Some things were just left unanswered too like is Saoirse dead? Is Elizabeth actually going to look for her further than checking a local pub? Did anything happen with Benjamin? I think these things should’ve been explained by the ending. I know not every story can have a happy ending but I was really hoping this one would.

Excellent

I vaguely remembered reading and enjoying this book a while ago, so thought it would be worth downloading as an audiobook. Am glad I did! It's a most original story using a fantastic premise,to explore very human problems and is told with humour and warmth. And the narrator does it full justice. I thoroughly recommend.

Incredible

This story is one many can relate to and was one that I couldn't stop reading! It's one to remind you not to take life or yourself too seriously and most importantly, to make yourself happy. An amazing read and another fantastic book by Cecelia Ahern.

Such a touching story, I LOVED it!

This was one of those very rare stories that you just can't stop yourself from listening to. Such a unique story and I found myself laughing out loud and crying throughout. I would recommend this story to everyone, it's by far my favorite. 💖
