After I read Thank You For Listening and loved it, I knew I wanted to read this one. I knew after reading an online interview with Ms. Whelan that this was going to be an emotional book. I feel that Ms. Whelan poured her heart into turning this screenplay into a novel. I stopped, reread/listened, and highlighted many passages she wrote because they spoke to my heart. Her descriptions of Oxford were so vivid and just made the book come to life for me. And Julia Whelan narrating just made it that much better.This was my first Best Book of 2023 and I will be recommending this book to others.

It started off strong, but I lost interest in the middle part.
