If your life fell apart . . . could you start again?

How to Walk Away
is a heartbreaking, joyful story of learning to live and love again from internationally bestselling author Katherine Center.

Maggie Jacobsen is just about to step into the bright future she’s worked so hard and so long for: her dream job, a fiancé she adores and the promise of a perfect life just around the corner. But on what should have been the happiest day of her life, everything she worked for is taken away in a single catastrophic moment.

In hospital Maggie is forced to confront the unthinkable. First there is her fiancé, Charlie, wallowing in self-pity while demanding forgiveness. Then there’s her sister Kit, who shows up after pulling a three-year vanishing act.

Finally there’s Iain, her physical therapist, the one the nurses said was too tough for her. Iain, who won’t let her give in to her despair, who makes her cry, but also manages to make her laugh . . .

Maggie’s new life is nothing like she expected. But could it be more than she had ever dared hope for?

To quote the author- u2018I am crazily, swoonily, heartburstingly in loveu2019u2026. With this book! Maggie is the most courageous main character and no one deserves a happy ending more than her. The narration was so so good. I usually hate it when a narrator does the voice for the opposite gender but Therese nails it and as a result you fall for the character of Iain even more. If you are on the fence whether to listen to this book, DO IT! You can thank me later ud83dude09
