Summary

What if once in a lifetime happened twice?

Dani Parker had grand plans for her life - but that was 22 years ago. Now she's a single mother still living in the quaint seaside town of Newbay, still working at the hotel where she got her first ever job. When she bumps into ex-boyfriend Nat, Dani wonders if this might be the start of something not-quite-new. But that's before she meets his fiancée....

Dani's daughter, Flossie, is 16 - so she knows best about everything, of course. And her new boyfriend, Jed, is all she could ever want in a man...right?

Flossie's grandma Jane, a widow of 15 years, firmly believes that lightning never strikes twice. So when she finds herself visiting Bill's pet shop a little more often than necessary, she refuses to believe that the L-word has anything to do with it.

In a whirlwind of cakes, elopements and more naughty puppies than they can handle, will the three women discover that 'once in a lifetime' isn't quite as rare as they thought?

The wonderful and hilarious new listen from Chrissie Manby, perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Jill Mansell and Trisha Ashley.

Awesome

With every Chrissie Manby book I read they just get better and better. The antics of the dog Jezza were hilarious 😂 The characters had such depth to them. Just loved it. With Karen Cass as the narrator was literally the icing on the cake. Nice to some of the characters from her other books popping in for a visit.
