Summary
Jill's heartwarming, romantic and funny new novel will delight her fans, as Mimi discovers that love doesn't always wait till the timing is right ...
Mimi isn't looking for love when she spends a weekend in Goosebrook, the Cotswolds village her dad has moved to. And her first encounter with Cal, who lives there too, is nothing like a scene in a romantic movie - although she can't help noticing how charismatic he is. But Cal's in no position to be any more than a friend, and Mimi heads back to her busy London life.
When they meet again four years later, it's still not to be. Cal is focusing on his family, and Mimi on her career. Then Cal dives into a potentially perfect new romance whilst Mimi's busy fixing other people's relationships.
It seems as if something, or someone else, always gets in their way. Will it ever be the right time for both of them?

Lovely if not predictable
A nice listen where you're willing for the 2 main characters to cop on a bit faster than they do!

Lovely - but predictable - romance
A lovely romance with a quite predictable ending. Some elements were uplifting and interesting and I was pleased to see characters like Marcus and Loise included in the story.
The performance, however, impacted the listening very negatively. The reader has a clear ability to make different voices, but cannot modulate the volume at all. They would go very quiet, and then suddenly super loud. I often had to rewind many parts to understand what it had been said. Annoying.

Overall enjoyable
This book was easy and enjoyable to listen to, I finished it in just a couple of days. However, I sometimes felt like the writing was very basic and lacked depth? On more than one occasion side characters just had monologues where they explained their life stories to the protagonist with some very deep and personal reflections that changed the character overall? Felt a bit weird and unnatural, like instead of showing characters development over time through action and incremental changes characters just explained their life in one go and vowed to change. The book was a little cheesy, predictable and hard to believe at times but I enjoyed it none the less. A nice listen as long as you don’t take it too seriously.

a little too long and a little too annoying
overall, a nice good story. it was a little too long, I'd say 15 chapters too long. I did struggle to finish it but I persevered.
I do also agree with the other reviews, the narrator was quite annoying. I listened to the sample and thought I'd be ok, but I did struggle. This isn't a story to fall to sleep to due to the voices and the spontaneous loud voices she does.
overall I'd give it a 4/5, but I think I'd say a low 4

Narrator spoilt the story
I loved the story but nearly stopped listening to it because of the narrator. I didn’t like her voices and what I really disliked was that her voice went so low sometimes that I couldn’t even hear her!!
Jill, your books are great but please don’t spoil them with this narrator again

Annoying main character and narration
I usually love Jill Mansell books but found this one quite annoying. Sure they are usually easy listening romance novels but the main character in this novel was so wet. Felt a rather 80s approach to relationships and not one that I would want my daughters to read!
It was probably exacerbated by the often high pitched narration.
Disappointed

Great story, Brilliant performance!
Imogen Church brings Jill Mansell's book wholeheartedly to life. Well rounded characters have distinct voices, the threads of story are woven deliciously together.
Imogen is a master of her craft.

Vocal levels changed quite frequently
Story ok little dull, but found vocal levels was sometimes so low I barely hear, then suddenly screeched up high to the point I had to take my ear buds out

Boring
Thin storyline stretched to breaking point, ending obvious but took far to long to happen. Not a patch on earlier books.
