The Book of Second Chances

By: Katherine Slee

Narrated by: Imogen Church

A charming, uplifting novel about love, loss, and finding your way in the world, perfect for fans of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and The Keeper of Lost Things.
Emily can't remember the last time she left the house. Or spoke to anyone besides her grandmother, beloved children's author Catriona Robinson. After Catriona's death, Emily is at a complete loss . . . until she gets an unexpected letter from the woman she loved most.
Catriona has revealed there might be one last, lost unpublished manuscript in her wildly popular book series. And she's left a secret diary and trail of clues that only Emily can follow. From London to Paris to Verona, Emily traces her grandmother's past, finding out more about her family -- and herself -- than she ever imagined possible. Hopeful and adventurous, The Book of Second Chances celebrates books and bookstores, the power of imagination, and having the courage to shape our own destinies.

Delightful!

Narrated by one of my favorites, Imogen always brings the story to life. She does a fantastic job of assisting your mind to create beautiful pictures as she tells the story. The story is one that I needed. It reminded me to step out of my inner world, and get familiar and comfortable in the real world again. A story that every introvert can identify with, and should read or listen to!

Dreadful - No Plot

I drove for two hours, skipping every 30 seconds until the book was over. Truly dreadful.

Wanted to like it

But I just didn’t and much of the time I felt like the main character was just being enormously ungrateful. Even Imogen Church couldn’t get me motivated and that’s unusual…
