Summary

It only takes a second...

For life to change forever.

Elena Godwin could never have known that her dream holiday to Mexico would change her life forever. She thought that she was in charge of her own destiny. But on a gorgeous summer evening, her whole world is ripped from her feet in a single moment.

Ten years later, she still can't forget the face of the stranger who held her whilst everything she knew was destroyed. Thrown back together again, Elena starts to uncover the truth around that fateful night—and questions whether she made the right decision all those years ago.

She only met him for a moment, but maybe it's not too late....

Worth a listen

It took me a few chapters to get into the book, but then I was hooked. A good listen which is thought provoking but sweet.

Oh my!

I swear this is one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. I listened on audio, I listened to it quickly as I couldn’t leave it alone. It had me in tears and that has only happened with a few books I’ve read/listened to. X

A beautiful story

Filled with intricate characters and story lines. Twists and turns. I could not stop listening.

Not what I expected

I had read a couple of Comfort Food Cafe titles and was expecting something similarly light for a cosy escapist read. But this was an intense eleven-hour monologue, very dark in places, with the narrator rarely attempting an accent or a different voice. There were some annoying glitches in the audio, (where two sections were badly spliced together?) However it was a good storyline and did finally end well.

It is what it is!

Such a beautiful story.
maybe a bit too long, maybe not.
A completely campact emotional roller coaster with such unreachable highs, and
unwantable lows! Anyone would think it was real.
A story you would want to read
repeatably, only it's also a story
you don't forget. Perfect narration and elequsion.
Thank you Debbie & Kirsty.👀
