Summary
Every morning, Kerry gets up, goes on her post-round, talks to the locals, and then goes home again. Once a month, she has Sunday lunch with her perfect sister’s perfect family. Life is simple, life is fine.

Her sister, Beth, thinks Kerry is kidding herself. She thinks Kerry needs to move out of their parents’ annexe, find a better job, and maybe even meet a man. Beth is determined to make Kerry get a life... whether Kerry likes it or not.

But Kerry knows something Beth doesn’t. She knows even the happiest marriages hide the darkest secrets, and even the people you love most in the world can betray you.

Burdened by grief and family secrets, Kerry realises that sometimes you have to reach the end of the road before you can start over. Before you can stop just existing, and really learn to live.

A brilliantly emotional novel, perfect for fans of 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine', Matt Haig and Mike Gayle.

I liked the story. A bit chicklit like but the them, how trauma can effect you're life, resonated with me. Although the end (happy) was a bit simple it was a nice hopefull listened. I love the narrator. I found it easy to listened too her and her narration added to my listenig experience. She kept me awake!

A fun book, well done. You really feel for the main character. Narration was entertaining.

Fairly interesting story line with a few twists but, overall, I did get a little bored with the main character. Nevertheless, it’s probably a good description of how a lot of people go through life. It was an okay book to listen to while on my bike working out

When I first started listening to the audio book, I was ready to put the book down. I didn't think I would enjoy it. Glad I did keep going, as I really quite enjoyed it and I love a happy ending. The narrator excellent.

This book was so good. You fall in love with the character with all of her problems and find yourself rooting for her in spite of them. An uplifting read!

Awful, superficial cliche. No depth. Unsympathetic main character, dramatising everything. This was only a smidgeon better than a Mills and Boon. Narrator mispronounced words, which was tiresome and the timbre of her voice sounded as though she was on Jackanory, narrating a story to children. Louise Voss is fr better when she collaborates with Mark Edwards.

I enjoyed listening to this book mainly due to the narrator. The beginning of the book was interesting, but about 3/4 of the way in the main character started to frustrate me, and I only finished because I had gotten so far in, I wanted to know the ending which didn't come soon enough for me.

This was an easy listen and I enjoyed the narrator’s accent. Finished it in a few days. Kept my attention and all my free time.

It was a little predictable but I really enjoyed it!
