About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The hilarious and heart-wrenching new novel from the
Sunday Times bestselling author of STEPPING UP and THE UNMUMSY MUM.

*******************
Sometimes, in order to move forward, you need to go back.
Joni’s always felt like an outsider in her blended family, and as an adult she’s done all she can to avoid them. The only person she’s remained close to is her beloved Nana.

When Nana dies, she leaves behind something unexpected: an itinerary of pre-arranged activities for the whole family to complete over the course of a week. After years of trying but failing to bring Joni back into the fold, this appears to be Nana’s parting shot. After all, nothing says ‘family bonding’ quite like abseiling and ballroom dancing.

With marriage and kids on the horizon, the life Joni’s always dreamed of is finally within touching distance. The last thing she wants to do is revisit the past.

But Joni’s about to discover that a lot can happen in seven days. Nana’s Week of Fun is about to change everything…

Wholesome, funny and loveable characters

Such a beautiful story, hilarious and sad it really does have everything. Unfortunately I have grown deeply attached to the characters and definitely need more! Great story telling by Sarah and the narrator was superb!

Witty

I loved this book, the narration. Found it funny, and could really relate to the character Joanie.

full of warmth and hilariously

The characters are absolutely amazing and so likeable. They have such life to them, even Nana Phyllis! It had me crying at points and laughing all the way through. Another fantastic book by Sarah Turner.
