As her mother likes to remind her, Rachel Ryan is 30 with no partner, hardly any savings and no mortgage. But when she makes her resolutions she's sure this is her year. By February things are not going to plan. Her career is in chaos as the new guy at work is none other than Jack Harper, who broke her heart at university—and despite herself the chemistry is still there. Plus her best friend has news that will change everything.

perfect easy rom com
Reviewed: 20-10-24
I loved the story, characters, even the emotional part that made me cry. Only thing that got me was the noise of scribbling out the resolutions, the noise shocked me the first time then got a bit ott. otherwise a lovely escapism especially like it when it is acknowledged that woman don't need a man, house and or kids to be happy and successful :) my first listen from this author I will be listening to more 😊

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 144
Actress Pam St Clement, best known as EastEnders' Pat Butcher, shares her life story. In January 2012, one of EastEnders' longest-serving and best-loved characters breathed her last when Pat Butcher succumbed to cancer. Her departure from the show gave actress Pam St Clement time to reflect, not only on almost 26 years playing a role that she loved, but also on her whole life. Pam's mother died when she was a baby, leaving her with a father whose life didn't really have space for a child.

such an interesting life !!!
Reviewed: 13-05-24
I was intrigued when I saw online that Pam was bisexual, and delighted to learn about her life. Her love of animals and experiences growing up. it's the first biography I've ever listened to. I loved it and it even kept me calm during a toe operation!!! highly recommend this!!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 98
Lara and Sonny are sworn enemies. As rival showbiz journalists, they are always out to get one-up on each other – whether being the first to scoop the latest celebrity gossip, or sabotaging a potential lead. So when their bosses ask them to join forces and go undercover at an exclusive celebrity retreat, they can’t think of anything worse – except that they are going to need to pretend to be in couples therapy to blend in.

Fast Friends is a warm and funny romantic novel from Sunday Times best-selling author Jill Mansell. For fans of Lucy Diamond, Cathy Kelly and Marian Keyes. When bored housewife and mother Camilla Stewart impulsively invites her old school chums for dinner, she hardly imagines that the evening will shatter her comfortable existence. But Roz Vallender and Loulou Marks are no ordinary guests.

I have brain fog so maybe that had an impact
Reviewed: 26-07-23
way too many characters, it jumps alot!! the last chapter is too this is how it all ends...
I normally love her books but this really didn't work for me. I kept with it but didn't always keep up with all the story lines. if your happy ending is having kids this is good for you, if not then less so. don't like leaving bad reviews but this was disappointing. narrator was good tho, didn't make annoying fake children voices like some do.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 33
Gwen’s life has stalled. She’s in her mid-thirties, perpetually single, her friends are busy procreating in the country and conversations with her parents seem to revolve entirely around herbaceous borders and the council’s wheelie-bin timetable. Above all she’s lonely. But then, isn’t everyone? When Gwen’s made redundant from a job she drifted into a decade ago and never left, she realises it’s time to make a change.

charity shop goodness if you love charity shops
Reviewed: 13-05-23
not for you if you don't like stories jumping around, it's a sweet patchwork of charity shop reality. I was a charity shop manager and lots is very true but even I lost track of all the stories half way through. a trip to the dentist? felt like it was in there just to tick a box. shame, the narrator was good.
Big thumbs up for women actually being able to say they don't want kids, but could have been handled slightly better.
I won't be recommending this book, sorry.

More than one million people suffer from long COVID in the UK (with 400,000 people suffering symptoms for over a year) and many more globally. Yet there is no clear guidance available to the general public and lots of misinformation out there. This handbook cuts through the confusing advice. Written by the medical experts working with long COVID patients at one of the first specialist clinics set up, it is filled with helpful case studies and was written with the involvement of real long COVID sufferers.

Emily prefers living on her own and finds comfort in her routines. But the well-meaning residents of Wychwood-on-Lea are determined to include her in their friendly circle - a prospect Emily finds utterly alarming. When sparks fly with local pub owner Owen Jones, Emily’s safe and fragile world threatens to shatter. She has too many secrets to keep, and Owen’s gentle understanding could be her undoing.

Meet Brooke: a bisexual Bridget Jones, a millennial Meg Ryan, a girl standing in front of a boy asking him—wait, it doesn’t have to be a boy? For Brooke, ‘The One’ could be anyone. As long as it’s the type of (actually highly problematic) movie love she’s watched on repeat since she was a little girl. Brooke writes algorithms for a dating app, which is odd given what a hopeless romantic she is.
