About this listen

What if what you really need is right there in front of you, if you just take a moment to look up?

Milly has been waiting for this moment forever, and finally it’s just an hour away - an interview with Vogue magazine and the opportunity to get her Louboutin-clad foot in the door. There’s just one problem - totally engrossed in her mobile phone, Milly doesn’t see the bus that is fast approaching - until it’s too late....

When Milly next opens her eyes, the consequences of her accident become clear. Everything she has worked for and dreamed of suddenly feels out of reach. But there is one bright spot on her horizon - the reappearance of her ex Jed, in all of his six-foot-four, broad-shouldered glory, with the most piercing ice blue eyes Milly ever saw.

Once used to working in a whirlwind, Milly now has the chance to reconsider how to live. Will she rush back to the treadmill, get her head down and back to business, or is there a whole other life waiting for her, if she’ll just look up to see it?

Maxine Morrey’s latest uplifting, heart-warming romance is guaranteed to brighten up your day.

Dull and terrible accents

This book was prolonged. The accent for the boyfriend was comical and unrealistic. It felt as everything was happening in actual real-time. Serious editing needed

Light feel-good chick lit

I would’ve liked the story had it not been based on billionaire ex who swoops in and saves the day while the protagonist takes a vacation from life.

It was pleasant but some what unbelievable

It was a nice story but, the accents of some of the characters were not great. The Italian waiter sounded like the Count on Sesame Street! It had some good story telling. And it was sweet.
