It's New Year's Eve, and at a house party, three women bond over dodgy cocktails and fortune cookies, and vow to make this year their best one yet. But as the months unfold, Gemma, Saffron, and Caitlin find themselves tested to their limits. Under pressure, they are each forced to rethink their lives. But dare they take a chance on something new?

Great Narration

Really enjoyed this story and how these friendships developed. The narrator kept me very engaged with each character.

Hard to follow

Depressing story, bland narrator, jumps all around. Tried to listen to it several times but gave up.

Too much sadness

I couldn't finish listening to it. It was all about a woman's misery and things that kept going wrong with her life and everyone elses. A depressing book. The narrator was quite good.
