About this ebook

‘An absolute must-read… I was completely absorbed from the first page until late at night when I could only put it down because I'd finished it… will stay with me for a long time… I ABSOLUTELY loved this book… addictive.’ Bookworm86,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


She hasn’t left her house in five years. Can love unlock the door?


It’s been 1,825 days since Fiona Dexter last set foot outside 14 Wellington Drive.


Five years ago, something happened that changed Fiona forever. Now she is too afraid to walk beyond her front gate.


It’s not the life Fiona had dreamed of but she has made it work, finding happiness in the safe routine of her days. On Mondays she treats herself to a glass of Chardonnay. On Tuesdays she has a working lunch at her desk (usually peanut butter on toast). On Wednesdays and Thursdays, she alternates spinning classes in her shed with yoga in the garden. Saturdays are for tidying up and Sundays are for relaxing in her favourite armchair.


But today is different. Today, her perfectly planned Monday is suddenly interrupted by a knock at the door and a stranger on the other side. Someone who could change everything.


Now Fiona is faced with an impossible choice. Is she brave enough to open the door? And if she does, will it set her free from her past or close her off from the world forever?


The perfect hopeful and heart-warming read we all need! It reminds us that life continues no matter where we are, and that living is all about finding someone to share the journey with. Fans of Jojo Moyes, Jodi Picoult and Diane Chamberlain will love this emotional and uplifting story.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW Review for 'The Girl Who Couldn't Leave' by Catherine Millwe. Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Catherine Miller, Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous Publication date 22nd June 2021. This is the second book I have read by this author. I have previously read Catherine's 'The Missing Piece' which I highly recommend. I was originally drawn to this book by its eye catching cover and its intriguing synopsis and title. The synopsis stated that 'Fans of Jojo Moyes, Jodi Picoult and Diane Chamberlain will love this emotional and uplifting story.' I am a huge fan of all three of those authors so am looking forward to seeing if this lives up to this statement. I am also a huge fan of Catherine and if this is half as good as 'The Missing Piece' it is sure to be an epic read. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture. I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully this won't be the first... Wat
