    About this audiobook

    Anna has waited a long time to fall in love and now that she has, she's not going to let her boyfriend Charlie's mother stand in her way. Meredith Granger is frighteningly well-cultured and impossible to impress. So far, Anna hasn't even been allowed to meet her. But when Charlie leaves the country on business for the summer, Anna decides to take matters into her own hands. Reinventing herself from top to toe, Anna embraces a whole new life. Garden parties, Sunday tennis, little vintage dresses from Laura Ashley - it seems almost too easy. It's only when she tails Meredith on an Art Explorers' trip to Andalucia that she wonders if things might be rather more difficult...

    • 4/5
      A lot of details in the middle but a bit of an abrupt ending. Easy listen
    • 1/5
      Terrible story, dragged out and no happy ending for any of the characters.
    • 4/5
      Anna Day is living a double life. Her boyfriend Charlie is away on business, and Anna wants to get to know his mother, Meredith. Charlie has refused to introduce them, insisting that Meredith is over-protective and would be too distraught if she knew that he had a long-term girlfriend.

      So Anna determines to re-model herself as the kind of sweet girl that her potential mother-in-law would like, hanging around her village, following her interests, even going on holiday with her...

      It took a while to get going, but I did like Anna's character, and the plot was a novel idea. It's light women's fiction at its best, with great writing, wit, and thought-provoking themes about modern women and their lifestyles.

      Definitely recommended.
