Summary

 Jill Mansell's bestseller DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING is 'bursting with humour, brimming with intrigue and full of characters you'll adore' Heat. Not to be missed by fans of Jojo Moyes and Veronica Henry.

'Written with heart and humour, this is chick lit at its best' Sunday Mirror

Dexter Yates loves his fun, care-free London life; he has money, looks and girlfriends galore. But everything changes overnight when his sister dies, leaving him in charge of her eight-month-old daughter Delphi. How is he ever going to cope?

Comic-strip artist Molly Hayes lives in the beautiful Cotswold village of Briarwood. When it comes to relationships, she has a history of choosing all the wrong men. Leaving the city behind, Dex moves to Briarwood - a much better place to work on his parenting skills - and he and Molly become neighbours. There's an undeniable connection between them. But if Dexter's going to adapt, he first has a lot to learn about Molly, about other people's secrets...and about himself.

Read for you by Audible's Narrator of the Year 2020 Clare Corbett.

Would you listen to Don't Want to Miss a Thing again? Why?

Clare Corbett's reading of the book, with her wonderful Bristolian and West Country accents was not only nostalgic but absolutely perfect for an ex-pat Bristolian like me. Jill Mansell is a great storyteller. Everyone got their just reward and lived happily ever after. Don't expect a serious intellectual read - it's chick-lit at its best.

Any additional comments?

I got this book based on a friends recommendation and I even read it without looking at the synopsis first which is very un common for me. Usually I like to know what a book is about before reading however due to this person having suggested books to me that I have enjoyed in the past I decided to take the plunge with this one. I have to say I am glad I did as I liked the excitement of not knowing what the book was going to be about before hand.
