So when the chance to find her own place arises, Mara is hopeful. She’s desperate for somewhere to start her ‘real life’ – with linen bedding, fresh flowers on the table, and Tom.
But between noisy new neighbours and Tom pushing her away, Mara is about to discover that things aren’t going to be quite so easy to fix.

really enjoyed this, it’s only downfall for me is just how many chapters it has, which wouldn’t be an issue if you were reading a physical book, but hearing someone say ‘chapter …’ almost 200 times is a bit much!I recommend

- Light(ish?) and easy listening. Following a “normal” life rather than a crazy plot. Enjoyable!
