About this listen

 The BRAND NEW heartwarming listen from the author of the NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER The Last List of Mabel Beaumont, perfect for fans of One Day, Taylor Jenkins Reid's Maybe in Another Life and Cecelia Ahern!

‘Warm, wise and deeply insightful, I adored every page.’ No.1 bestselling author, Shari Low

What if the answer to one little question could change your whole life?

Soon after Anna goes on the best date of her life with a man called James – she and her best friend Nia visit a fortune teller. Who tells Nia that she will have one great love. But all she tells Anna is that her future is with a man whose name begins with a J.

It won’t be James though – he never calls. And then Anna meets Edward – gorgeous, kind, loving. He’s all she’s ever dreamed of. Until he asks her to make a choice about their future.

If Anna says ‘yes’ to him, her life will go one way. If she says ‘no’, it’ll go another. Both of the worlds could be happy. Both of the worlds could be heartbreaking… But as Nia meets her one great love in both worlds, which of Anna’s answers – yes or no – will bring her life together with the person who she’s fated to be with?

Thank you to Laura Pearson for bringing back my love for audiobooks. I loved this book and I shall miss these two characters - Anna (Yes) and Anna (No) as I call them. Very relatable and a book which makes you think about your own paths and the decisions you have made / not made.

I will miss this now it’s finished

A difficult listen as the story is so disjointed - unless you have the time to completely absorb yourself in the characters this is a tricky narrative that is unbelievable.
