Life as Planned

By: Amanda Prowse

Narrated by: Amanda Prowse

From bestselling author Amanda Prowse comes a spellbinding story about two sisters, one choice—and a lifetime of consequences…

For identical twins Remy and Ashleigh, everything changes with one childhood decision. A simple act of love that unwittingly alters the paths they will both walk—an act of love that will echo through decades…

As the years unfold, their lives take dramatically different courses. Ashleigh soars through a glittering London career with the perfect house and family, but beneath her success lies a gnawing truth: her whole life is built on a lie. Meanwhile, Remy stays close to home, finding joy in simple pleasures, yet forever feeling the weight of being ‘the other twin’—the one who didn’t shine.

Both sisters long for the uncomplicated closeness they once shared, but can they find their way back to each other? And after a lifetime shaped by that single childhood choice, is it too late to become the people they were meant to be?

This emotionally compelling story asks challenging questions about paths not taken, and about making peace with the life you have, rather than the one you might have expected.

Good

This was a pretty good read that I also listened to on audio. Identical twins Remy and Ashleigh lives are changed with one childhood decision. An act of love that alters the paths of both of them act of love that will echo through decades. As the years go by their lives take dramatically different turns. Ashleigh has a career in London with a house and family, but beneath her success is all lies. Meanwhile, Remy stays close to home, finding joy in simple pleasures, yet forever feeling the weight of being "the other twin" the one who didn’t shine. I really enjoyed this book it was my first time reading this author. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I also liked that the author narrated this book. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

Too long, too repetitive

It crawled for me. Same issues over and over. Mostly a chance for author to talk about the issues of family relations and aging.

Life goes by in a blink

Beautiful life journey story of two different lives. Enjoy your life, no matter what your choices are. Live in the present, time here is short. Love yourself and love others, no greater message than that.

Incredibly Sad

There was not enough lighthearted story to balance the sad. The voices were not always distinct. I had trouble sticking with it about 30% in. I kept hoping things would get better. I normally love Amanda's books.
