About this listen

Heart-warming, hilarious and unputdownable. You won’t want to miss this year’s stand out romantic comedy. ‘Fun and life-affirming’ STYLIST ‘This funny, uplifting rom-com is a total treat’ FABULOUS ‘Heart-warming, funny, and inspiring … A joy’ LOUISE O’NEILL

This is a love story…

Serena Mills should be at her wedding.

Instead, she’s eating an ice cream sundae and drinking an obscenely large glass of wine in a Harvester off the M25.

She’s left the man everyone told her she was ‘so lucky’ to find – because she’s realised that she wants to find love. Real love.

So she sets herself a challenge: 52 weeks. 52 dates. 52 chances to find real love.

But sometimes even the best laid plans don’t work out. And it’s the people that take you most by surprise who can really sweep you off your feet . . .

‘Bethany Rutter’s adult debut is a piece of perfection. I loved Welcome To Your Life, not least because I'm at least 90% Serena Mills. I think most women would relate to this character and will embrace her journey! 5 big fat stars from me!Katy Little

The romance of my dreams! Sharp, exuberant, and gorgeously written, it is a must-read for 2022’ Katie Lowe, author of The Furies and The Murder of Graham Catton

Very real and one to underline and remember

Captured me straight away with its relatability

Wow!!!! I adored this book. Everything about it, from the narration (excellent) to the story. It was funny, reflective and meaningful. Plus sized characters are to few and far between and is so what is needed, for fat women and for non fat women to know what it is like… and the author really hits the nail on the head a number of times. I love a love story and this was that as well as finding self love! Honestly one I had to listen to all times, washing up, driving, walking to car, cooking tea, lunch breaks - that is the testament of a good book.

Just what I needed

I’ve been meaning to read/ hear this book for soo long. It absolutely didn’t disappoint, how refreshing to have a plus size figure be the leading lady and it not be all doom and gloom. Thank you Bethany, keep writing. Can’t wait for the next!
