AUDIO SYNOPSIS
Duration: 16h 30m (approx.) on 15 CD(s)
Narrated by Anna Bentinck
He is Dexter Mayhew, tall, dark and (she can't deny it) handsome. She is Emma Morley, bottled red hair, wilfully badly dressed, all principles and no action. Could this be the dawn of the rest of their lives? Or are Dex and Em living proof that - despite an unlikely beginning - men and women really can be just good friends?

“The funniest, loveliest book I've read in ages.” Jenny Colgan
“Incredibly moving.” Marian Keyes
“A totally brilliant book about the heartbreaking gap between the way we were and the way we are.” Tony Parsons
