About this listen
So much can change in half a lifetime…
Then
At fifteen, George is the foster brother Leah never asked for. As the angry, troubled boy struggles to come to terms with his circumstances, Leah finds herself getting drawn closer to him.
Theo’s wealthy family have mysteriously pulled him out of boarding school and he’s now enrolled at the local state school with Leah and George. When their worlds collide that summer, the three teenagers form a bond they believe will be unbreakable. But life doesn’t always go to plan...
Now
Shocking news brings Leah back to Yorkshire, baby daughter in tow. But Emilie’s father Theo isn’t with them, and George has unexpectedly returned. After half a lifetime, have they healed the scars of their pasts? Will coming back home set their hearts in a different direction?

A lovely story
I warmed to this book instantly. This isn’t my usual genre. The narrator was brilliant.

Heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time
Have enjoyed all of Paige Toon’s books but this one is definitely amongst my favourites. Set over both the past and present, it takes you on a real journey of twists and turns through the characters lives. Narrated beautifully by Heather Long.

At first I felt sadness, then I felt everything. Beautiful storyline .
Beautiful, moving, tear-jerker of a story.
You feel as if your part of the family and go through every emotion with them.
Don't worry you will also laugh out loud, well worth a listen. I have really enjoyed this book.

Someone I used to know
I really enjoyed this story, I wished it didn’t keep going from then to now, even in one chapter, I found that a little bit confusing. I personally prefer a story to have a beginning, middle and end, but on the whole loved the story.
