About this listen
Four people looking for love. Four choices that could be the start of everything.
At thirty-three, nurse Heather is desperately waiting for her romantic life to begin. Then she meets handsome, strong Anthony and is sure she’s found the one. Brushing any doubts aside, she projects all her hopes for true love onto him.
Meanwhile, at a yoga retreat in Spain, happy-go-lucky Joe can’t believe his luck when he meets vivacious, witty Amy. She’s the sharpest, most beautiful woman he has ever dated, and the fact that she’s interested in him feels like a dream come true.
But new love can be blind, and when the two couples meet, the cracks are easy to see.
Will their crossed paths lead the way to happiness? Or are they all destined for heartbreak?

He wants to reunite his broken family, but more than this he wants to know why Zoe left. They’d been enjoying the funfair - grasping a rare moment of happiness following their parents’ divorce - when after a ride together, Zoe had stopped speaking to her mother’s new partner. Though Mandy believed he was the man she’d waited all her life for, her love for her daughter trumped even that.

When Cara stumbles across a stash of old postcards in the attic, their contents make her question everything she thought she knew. The story she pieces together is confusing and unsettling, and appears to have been patched over with lies. But who can tell her the truth? With her father sinking into Alzheimer’s and her brother reluctant to help, it seems Cara will never find the answers to her questions. One thing is clear, though: someone knows more than they’re letting on.

So glad I discovered Nick Alexander
I’m so glad I discovered this author. This was a story with a lot of heart. I truly enjoyed all the characters even Ant who wasn’t the nicest guy. The Narration was great. If you listen and have small children around there are a few scenes that shouldn’t be heard by small ears. This book would make a great beach read if you’re lucky enough to be near water. For me it was a great kick off to summer. I will be looking to read another Nick Alexander very soon.

Not perfect
Coming down off Nick's latest novel Perfectly Ordinary People, this was a bit of a letdown.
Amy & Heather were badly written characters - even their comebacks were crap.
