From the moment he sets his eyes on Ashley Oliver at sixth form on the cusp of the new millennium, Charlie falls in love.

It isn’t all sunshine and roses though and it takes several years and more than one chance meeting before they begin their relationship. Will they survive everything the world has to throw at them or will the pressure of life, love, and London be too much for them?

Told through big and small, trivial and significant moments, this is a moving and uplifting story of a relationship - the ups, the downs, and everything in between.

An unforgettable romance, perfect for fans of Sophie Cousens, Jill Mansell and Mike Gayle.

Amy Noble has warm voice that establishes an instant connection with the reader. Amy has narrated over 30 audiobooks including the multiple narration of Paul McCartney’s Wings.

Simon Darwen’s clear and enthusiastic voice is a nice contrast to Amy’s warm voice. When he is not narrating you may recognise him from his TV appearances in Top Boy and Britannia.
