About this audiobook

A story of mix-ups, mess-ups and making the most of second chances, this is the new novel from international sensation Jojo Moyes, author of Me Before You and The Giver of Stars

'A delightful reverse-Cinderella story of two women who seem polar opposites - until circumstance forces them to experience each other's lives. Nobody writes women the way Jojo Moyes does - recognizably real and complex and funny and flawed' JODI PICOULT

Who are you when you are forced to walk in someone else's shoes?

Meet Sam . . .
She's not got much, but she's grateful for what she has: a job she's just about clinging on to and a family who depend on her for everything. She knows she's one bad day away from losing it all - and just hopes today isn't it . . .

Meet Nisha . . .
She's got everything she always dreamed of - and more: a phenomenally rich husband; an international lifestyle; and . . . she's just been locked out of all of it after her husband initiates divorce proceedings . . .

Sam and Nisha should never have crossed paths. But after a bag mix-up at the gym, their lives become intertwined - even as they spiral out of control.

Each blames the other as they feel increasingly invisible, forgotten, lost - and desperately alone.

But they're not.

No woman is an island. Look around. Family. Friends. Strangers.
Even the woman you believe just ruined your life might turn out to be your best friend.
Because together you can do anything - like take back what is yours . . .


Praise for Jojo Moyes:

'Moyes somehow manages to break your heart before restoring your faith in love' Sunday Express

'Storytelling at its best' Marie Claire

'A deeply satisfying book full of big emotions' Good Housekeeping

'Britain's best contemporary female author' Sun on Sunday

Unputdownable. A lovely story with some laugh-out-loud moments. Easy listening and truly entertaining in a number of ways. The reader's interpretation of each character's personality, voice and tone is hugely impressive; it makes the piece more believable and adds a rich depth to the whole experience. Hugely enjoyable.

It took a while to build up, but the moment excitement kicked in, it kept me on edge to the end. Good read
