Just the Way You Are

By: Beth Moran

Narrated by: Eilidh Beaton

A novel about friendship, romance and learning to love yourself - just the way you are from Number One bestselling author Beth Moran.

When Olivia Tennyson – or Ollie to her friends – was sixteen, she wrote a Dream List of all the things she wanted for her life, including a happy marriage and a family.

But at twenty-nine, Ollie is single, living at home with her over-protective and manipulative mother, and is feeling like her dreams are getting further out of reach.

It’s time for a change.

It’s time to take matters into her own hands.

Without telling her mum, or more importantly, asking her permission, Ollie finds the perfect place to start her new life. End Cottage has a duck-egg blue front door, a garden that leads to acres of forest, and definitely counts as her dream home.

Now all Ollie has to do is complete the rest of her list and find out who she really is, before she can imagine any romance coming into her life. After all, how is she going to find her dream man in the middle of a forest…

Reading Beth Moran’s gorgeous novels makes every day better. Uplifting, smart, with unforgettable characters and gorgeous settings, it’s impossible not to fall in love with a Beth Moran story. Perfect for all fans of Jill Mansell, Julie Houston, and Jenny Colgan.

Lovely

This would make a wonderful movie. I loved everything about. My only wish would be to have a little epilogue to see how Leanne’s health improved.

Great book!

I struggled with the narration a little bit at the beginning but it felt like she eased in and then the characters really came alive. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Another winner by Beth Moran

The sign of a truly good story....the characters are so well written, they become your imaginary friends. This book made me laugh out loud and cry happy and sad tears. Strongly recommend!

Loved it and will read more from this author

Uplifting, funny and captivating. This the second book that I’ve read from this author. I will be reading more from Beth Moran.

Another hit!

I love how Beth Moran’s flawed, beautiful characters make the lives of those around them so much better.

My Favorite Thus Far

This has been my favorite book thus far. I appreciate real life struggles that are not fluff. Her characters always have struggles that I don’t see written about so positively anywhere else! I’m drawn in to their circumstances, rooting for them to overcome the obstacles in there path. Bravo

Really enjoyable

Whilst the premise of having a ‘dream list’ might be a little strange, this story is quite normal really.
It’s a wonderful story of learning to stand on your own two feet.
The narrative style of the reader was superb and meant that I listened to the story every time I sat into my car to drive anywhere.

Great book!!

I love the sweet stories! The characters are realistic and the description of the setting is great!!! On to the next book!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Single woman determined to follow her dreams

Wonderful, realistic contemporary story of a woman trying to change her life and the surprising experiences and people she finds as she navigates her way. The characters were well rounded. It was interesting to see them interact with each other. Often humorous, but also sad at times. I think that this is one of my favorite stories that I will think about for awhile and listen to again. Narration was perfect!

Cozy 💕

This is so cozy and cute! The accent of the reader also definitely adds to the atmosphere and immerses you into the story!
