A laugh-out-loud funny yet heartbreaking novel about first love and second chances, with a satisfying mystery at its heart.  

Lizzie James is happy. She has a steady office job (with a steady stream of tray bakes), has had the same best friend since secondary school, and sees her family every Thursday night for take-away and TV soaps. Granted, some members of her family she'd rather not see, and they definitely don't want to see her after what happened back then...but on the whole she's happy. Or somewhere close to it, anyway.   

Until a letter arrives one day from her best friend, Roman. A letter dated 12 years ago, the exact day he went missing.   

It brings all her painful memories flooding back: the new school she had to go to when she was ill, losing her beloved granddad, Hubble, and then losing her first love. As Lizzie uncovers the secrets of the letter, she starts to discover what really happened the year her life fell apart - and all avenues lead back to Roman. Who sent her the letter, and what happened to Roman?  

Perfect for fans of Cecelia Ahern, Jojo Moyes, Giovanna Fletcher and Kate Eberlen's Miss You. This is a novel you won't soon forget.

Effortlessly real, raw and deep. There is so much mystery that you can't wait for the curtain to reveal the secrets. But all characters are dealing with their own issues and you start unders how they are all connected. This book is life's emotional summary. Ups downs and just keeping on.

Fabulously deep

After I had started, I took a longer pause before continuing, not sure whether this was my cup of tea. But the story turned out to be so enticing that I listened through the remaining 8 hours over just one weekend.
Lovely reading by Candida Gubbins, too.
Beautiful story, beautifully told.

Second time‘s the charm
