What to expect
Freya and Joe’s marriage has fizzled its way to the end, but for financial reasons, and to support their daughter in her final year of school, they decide they need to keep living together for six months.
They know it won’t be easy, but for Joe at least, it provides creative rewards: a struggling sitcom writer, he has found his new project. Why not write about his own situation? And the network loves it!
There is just one problem - Freya doesn’t know.
Can Freya and Joe navigate the six months together and might they find out something new about their relationship?
A relatable second-chance romcom perfect for fans of Mike Gayle and Beth O’Leary.
Georgia Taylforth’s warm and friendly tone is perfect for this uplifting romcom. When she is not narrating romcoms she is writing plays which have gone to the Edinburgh Fringe for instance Mine and Stiff Dicky.
Laurence Dobiesz’s friendly tone works perfectly with Georgia Taylforth’s voice on this uplifting romcom. He has narrated 30 audiobooks including Lucy Foley’s The Midnight Feast. You might also recognise him from the hit TV show Outlander.
