About this audiobook
The must-read book of 2019! Equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking, fans of Jojo Moyes, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and One Day in December will love this special novel by Drew Davies.
Dear Lily, It’s me, Joy, your older sister. I thought I’d start a new tradition of letter writing – now that we’re long distance. On the plane over here, I began to cry. I think the magnitude of it finally hit me, after everything that happened… I haven’t even unpacked yet. I’m sorry for abandoning you – I’ve always been your agony aunt, and a buffer in your shouting matches with Mum. But I had to leave, Lily, I had to. Anyway, I’m here now. I’m here to start over, and face up to the past. I want to learn to laugh again, and to find someone to love who will love me back. Wish me luck, little sister. Love, Joy x
