    About this audiobook

    There are some things you can never leave behind…

    Kate Forrest is invisible… her husband doesn't seem to know she's alive and her two children have become stroppy adolescents. With her fortieth birthday approaching, Kate walks out of her life, and gets on a plane to Italy. With no responsibilities, she soon finds herself caught up in the arms of a man half her age. But eventually Kate will be forced to choose between her past and the future.

      I like Tess (the author) for sure!
    • 4/5
      Initially i have my doubt whether i would be able to enjoy reading this book after reading the plot but given the good review by other readers, i decided to give it a try and i am so glad i did so. The author have written brilliantly about the book. Given the title of the book and the synopsis, one would automatically think that the selfishness that Kate have in leaving her family behind but reading thru the book, one would understand why Kate did it.Kate is a strong character in the book, being shouldered the burden of a family who rely on her and with the breakdown rooming over her, she decided to walk out of her family and search again for herself. This scenario i believe happened everywhere and to have that courage, not many will do such as Kate did. I like the way the author written the book; each of the characters; Kate, Ned, Eleanor, Agness and Guy have their say and thoughts in different chapters which provided a two way insight as to what really happened and their feeling towards each others. It is fascinating to see such a different perspective emerged from two different thoughts on the same thing and it tells us the damage miscommunication is if problems is to be leave as it is without being dealt with.Overall, this book is well written, with good plot and characters. I enjoyed reading this book ;)
