I downloaded this on audible as part of a 2 for 1 deal. I listened to most of the book but admit I struggled with finding the romantic or comedy side. The characters Roberta and Octavia are two best friends but to be honest at times I didn’t think they were all that nice to each other. Unfortunately this one wasn’t for me.

I fancied something a little lighter recently after all these dark and disturbing thrillers, so i scrolled through my massive tbr of netgalley books looking for something that was going to fill that gap.

Octavia had always imagined her life would be free spirited, living abroad with children that know mutiple languages and are at one with outdoors, instead she has reliable Jonoathon and three children, non who know any other languages. So whenn her best friends marriage falls apart, and she gets to reinvent herself, can Octavia stand aside and carry on, or does she need to find answers.

Octavia just cannot handle life as it is anymore, not when she knows there is more to the world out there. Throwing caution to the wind, when she travels with her husband for work, she seeks answers that were long ago left, answers that end up opening more doors and questions.

This was a wonderful chick lit read that took you on travels to wonderful destinations, it followed journeys of love and changing friendships, and most of all - is Octavias first love still waiting for her? The characters are fabously developed, and you feel like you are going through the journeys with them.

This is the first novel i have read by Kerry Fisher and i loved it, it was really the book to start to get me into the holiday spirit.
