    About this audiobook

    THE TOP 10 BESTSELLERA novel about friendship, romance and learning to love yourself - just the way you are.

    When Olivia Tennyson – or Ollie to her friends – was sixteen, she wrote a Dream List of all the things she wanted for her life, including a happy marriage and a family. But at twenty-nine, Ollie is single, living at home with her over-protective and manipulative mother, and is feeling like her dreams are getting further out of reach.

    It’s time for a change.

    It’s time to take matters into her own hands.

    Without telling her mum, or more importantly, asking her permission, Ollie finds the perfect place to start her new life. End Cottage has a duck-egg blue front door, a garden that leads to acres of forest, and definitely counts as her dream home.

    Now all Ollie has to do is complete the rest of her list and find out who she really is, before she can imagine any romance coming into her life. After all, how is she going to find her dream man in the middle of a forest…

    Reading Beth Moran’s gorgeous novels makes every day better. Uplifting, smart, with unforgettable characters and gorgeous settings, it’s impossible not to fall in love with a Beth Moran story. Perfect for all fans of Jill Mansell, Julie Houston, and Jenny Colgan.

      Since I generally prefer books that are heavy on the romance, this isn't my typical read....however, I did enjoy it, and found listening to it relaxing and comforting.

      If you enjoy reading about quirky characters, unexpected bonds that form them into a strong little community, with a reliable/predictable romantic relationship ever-hovering in the background, you'll enjoy this book!
    • 5/5
      I absolutely loved it! So beautiful, so real and so full with emotions? definitely saving more books by this author ❤️
