Touching, comical and dramatic sweet treat.

So easy to listen to and become immersed in. So very comical and heart-wrenchingly sad. Characters were well-rounded and easy to picture with the help of the talented narrator who brought them to life.
Another fantastically sweet story from Jenny Colgan, who never fails to deliver in romance, humour and drama.
I am swiftly moving onto the Christmas version of this story...

Great listening

Gentle, fun and with some good messages, this audiobook reminds you of all those wonderful confections you challenged your teeth with as a child. With a host of wonderfully-drawn characters, you'll be listening at every chance you get as the story unfolds to its sweet conclusion!

One of the very best Jenny Colgan books

I’ve read very nearly all of Jenny Colgans books, and this was in my top three favourite. I loved the characters, even Gerard, and really felt like I was there and that I knew them. Such an enjoyable and gentle read, utterly loved it!! Highly recommend. I’m so pleased she’s done a second book in the series, I desperately needed to know what happens next.

Audible v Kindle

The first Jenny Colgan book I read was on Kindle; the second I listened to from Audible - she is an excellent author and I thoroughly enjoyed both books. I will in some some shape or from be reading / listening to another of her novels.

Whilst I love reading, I have such a busy lifestyle that by the time I have a moment to myself to read, I invariably don't get past one chapter before falling asleep! I then had the idea of listening to books - even then I didn't find time to download them onto my MP3 player; BUT then Audible released the ap for iPad; so I listened to this book mostly whilst cooking!

Jane Collingwood narrated the book very well - the only things that took a bit of getting used to was the reading style - we all have our own individual manner when expressing text and hearing a woman speak as a man was a bit off putting initially - but I got used to this and got through the book very quickly.

So all in all a great book and a great way of taking in a novel that I may never have got around to actually reading!

Good holiday read

I enjoyed listening to this book whilst sunning myself on holiday, light hearted romance depicting the stories of both Rosie and her elderly aunt, spanning across the decades, with some twists I did not expect. I found it easy listening and the ideal holiday book.

Fabulous!

This is the first time I've listened to an audiobok but I thoroughly enjoyed it! The narrator was engaging and her accents for the different characters were very good.



The story was uplifting and inspirational with a love story at its heart - definitely worth a listen!

Light hearted story

Fabulous, easy listening story which I absolutely loved. Humorous throughout with a genuine feel for the two main characters Rosie and her Great Aunt. I especially liked the transistion between the Great Aunts life in the 40's to present day - added depth to the storyline.

Great story

Great listen for the nighttime baby feeds. Just the right amount of romance, family and sadness.
