About this listen

 THE NEW MILLY JOHNSON NOVEL, THE HAPPIEST EVER AFTER, IS OUT NOW!

Shay Bastable is the woman in the middle. She is there for everyone else, holding them all together, looking out for them all. She is part of the sandwich generation – caring for her parents and her children – and she loves it that way.

But Shay is so busy supporting everyone else, she hasn’t thought for a moment about herself. And when her family start to find their own ways in the world, she is finally able to look forward to some breathing space. But when her whole world collapses, who is left to her support her…?©2021 Milly Johnson (P)2021 Simon & Schuster, UK Contemporary Contemporary Romance Family Life Fiction Genre Fiction Romance Feel-Good Heartfelt

This is another good story from Milly Johnson. An easy, heart-warming story to lose yourself in if it's cold and miserable outside. I just felt that the main character's new relationship could have been left to run a bit further.
A great narration by Coleen Prendergast.

What a fantastic story. This has to be Milly’s finest so far. I’ve laughed at bits as well as fist pumped parts and have felt so much emotion for the characters. I don’t want to say too much or I’ll end up giving clues as to what it’s about. Enjoy xxxx
