About this listen

A heart-warming story about starting all over again, for fans of Bridget Jones’ Diary, written by debut author Jasmine Dennison and narrated by Jessica Barden.

Sometimes you have to escape to be found.

Kate wasn’t expecting a proposal, but when Rob pushed the small velvet box across the table how could she not get her hopes up? Those hopes dashed by a pair of pearl earrings, Kate decides it’s time to hit reset on her life. This time next year, she’ll have the life, job, relationship of her dreams. But then Rob drops a bombshell: he wants to move to America, for work, and without Kate. Shattered and heart-broken, her mum’s “there’s still time, if you get a move on”, her best friend Sonia’s engagement news, and – best of all – her seven-year-old niece Ottilie’s thoughtful suggestion that “Auntie K could borrow Daddy to be the daddy for her baby” do not make her feel better…

Leaving the pieces of her old life behind, Kate retreats to her sister’s ramshackle farm, where handsome handyman Dan is a welcome distraction. But it soon becomes apparent that underneath the idyllic surface, not all is as it appears at the farm – and whilst Kate didn’t go there looking for a new beginning, she might not be the only one to find one…

Easy listening

Lovely story and a happy ending, perfect 🫶. Recommend to hopeless romantics. It helps that I read it on my membership with audible for no extra cost

Entertaining and reassuring

This isn’t my normal listen but I wanted to try something new. Appreciating this was the author’s debut work, it’s certainly original. It takes a lot for me to laugh out loud but I was definitely smiling away in numerous parts of the book. I enjoyed the storytelling and some of the underlying themes- not everyone’s life is perfect, despite what they want you to think. The concepts of life’s pressure and expectations were beautifully brought to light whether via family, friends or indeed ourselves. It was also nice that the ‘rom’ part of the romcom was relatively light touch. This gave the book a nice balance so you could empathise with the main character’s life struggles. In the end I was surprised how much I liked it and hope the author is going to ‘go again’.

Narrator whispered throughout in a depressing monotone . Sweet story ruined.

I had to skip to end after ax few chapters because the reader ‘s voice was just unbearable . Very difficult to hear as so softly spoken , and depressing to listen to as tone was so dreary. Sweet story, thought , such a shame . I’d listen to this author again with different narrator.

I did finish listening to the story

The story was OK and the reader was OK. It felt frustrating in parts and endearing in others... maybe it was too plausible?
I liked the company of the characters and the UK settings.

A great listen! Would recommend!

I loved listening to the story, kept finding myself chuckling and relating to Kate! Some of the situations she would get herself into really did make me laugh. I didn’t want to stop listening to this and did not want the story to end!

Great story, but a little unfinished.

It's a great story, however I would not class it as a romantic comedy. I hope there is a follow on, as the love story was not fully developed.
