Whatever It Takes: Unabridged edition

By Adele Parks, Read by Christina Cole

What if love’s not enough?

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Just My Luck and Both Of You, Whatever It Takes is an emotionally powerful and unputdownable novel…

For Londoner Eloise Hamilton, it is a momentous day when she reluctantly agrees to uproot to Dartmouth, leaving behind her perfect world so her husband can return to his. At least her mother-in-law Margaret will welcome her with open arms, and she can rely on best friend Sara to be her lifeline to London.

But Eloise is thrust into unexpected turmoil when it’s revealed that Margaret is showing signs of dementia and Sara’s intense longing for a family threatens to overwhelm her.

While she’s dreaming up extreme ways to help those she loves, Eloise’s world implodes with the strain of being responsible for all around her. When a life-changing secret is revealed, someone is bound to be overlooked. And the damage might be irreparable…
