Publisher's Summary

A warm, spellbinding tale of friendship, love and second chances from this number one best-selling author.

Behind the brightly coloured doors of Miller's Avenue live people with very complicated lives....

When Yvonne in number seven joins an online dating website, she's looking for something more than friendship but, after a series of disastrous encounters, decides to shut down her account. Is she shutting out her only chance of finding love? 

While next door Dan, still reeling from his wife's desertion, signs up for a cookery course. As his lemon souffle rises, so does his interest in someone close to home....

Further along, Kathryn is struggling to keep her marriage together despite the best efforts of her interfering mother-in-law. As tension grows between the two women, Kathryn wonders if Grainne will finally succeed, as she realises that she may never give her husband, Justin, what he wants. 

As the drama unfolds along Millers Avenue, the inhabitants learn that the things you most yearn for can often be found on your own doorstep.

Waisted time

The book was boring and disappointing. This was my first time with this author I kept on waiting for something to happen and it never did.

Irish soap opera?

I listened to the audible version of this book. I felt that the performance was good but the content was very boring. I felt like I was listening to an Irish soap opera. I didn’t feel there was any substance to the book at all. When I purchased this book I noticed how many stars it received and read all of the positive reviews. I don’t understand how it received such high ratings. I was extremely disappointed in the book.
