Oxford—celebrated city of dreaming spires and class warfare—is an ambition come true for geeky upper-middle-class lesbian Charlotte and charismatic working-class straight Millie.

Against the odds, theirs is an instant best friendship. Forever.

Exuberant Millie is a breath of fresh air for polite Charlotte and a force of nature within the university's hallowed walls. And they are going to be the best lawyers of their year and change the world.

But their world changes instead when things go queerly sideways, and they haven't seen each other since.

Ten years on and Charlotte returns to where it all began. She has a new job at a prestigious law firm and Oxford is as beautiful as ever. She's a safe distance from her overbearing barrister mother Nicola and three office floors from her snappy college mentor, Olivia.

Then Millie bounds around the corner wanting to be friends again and it's as if the last decade never happened. Will it be different the second time around? Can they be friends again? Or will love and attraction change things?

... unfortunately I found the narrator's voice and style of speaking quite distracting. It is not because she's English (I am too) but more the fact she makes Millie, when not playing at being from the 1950s, sound too posh and not like she comes from a London comprehensive school. More important to me is that her reading style, especially as the narrator, is disjointed, which I found difficult to listen to, although I thought the audiobook sounded a bit better after I changed the audio speed to 1.2 but all together I felt the audio spoiled the book.

Clare Ashton is an accomplished writer, sensitive with great descriptions and in depth characters. She includees plenty of life's trails and tribulations, especially relating to endometriosis, but there is also plenty of tongue in cheek humour along the way.

Very slow burn, lovely book but...

Well read this book earlier in the year. I was so glad that there was an audiobook version, the narrator is fantastic and get all the voices so well it’s a beautiful but slow burning romantic story. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. really love Millie, she’s a great character, but Charlotte is just as good and awesome. Very hot scenes as well. Go listen it’s amazing

A slow burning, but beautiful, passionate, love story

I listened to this on a long drive and found myself grinning despite being in a traffic jam! Enchanting and real characters and beautifully written as you’d expect from Clare Ashton. Do yourself a favour and download it.

A lovely warm hug for your ears
