Lift Me Up

De: Milly Johnson

Narrado por: Colleen Prendergast

A heartwarming story from Sunday Times bestseller Milly Johnson.

Tam Remington had her life planned out. Until a conversation in a broken lift—with her worst enemy—changes everything.

For a decade, Tam has quietly held YorkMart together whilst others took the credit, making herself smaller in the process. When she's briefly promoted to acting Managing Director, she finally has a chance to shine—until her promotion is snatched away and handed to Jack Cesaroni—the man brought in to do the job that should have been hers.

Tam expects nothing but disappointment from Jack. But when they're trapped in a lift between floors thirteen and fourteen, he sees what no one else has: Tam is exceptional. That single word of recognition sparks something Tam thought she'd lost—and an unexpected connection she never saw coming.

Now Tam faces an impossible choice: stay being the smaller version of herself she's become used to, or take a leap and reclaim the vibrant, authentic woman she once was—and discover how wonderful it could be if she lets someone see the real her…

For fans of Jenny Colgan and Jill Mansell, this enemies-to-lovers story shows sometimes you need to get stuck to find your true self.

“A brilliant, life-affirming story about a woman rejecting the expectations of others, transforming her future and living her life the way she wants to. Absolutely fantastic.”—Phillipa Ashley

“A gorgeous story fizzing with Milly’s wit and brimming with heart—it will, appropriately, lift you up and put a big smile on your face, as well as reminding you to be true to yourself and not fade into the background. A tonic for our times. Perfection!”—Veronica Henry

Always a happy read

Milly Johnson is one of my favourite feelgood authors and this book is no exception. I also really enjoy Colleen Prendergast the narrator and have searched for other books that she narrates as a result. These two are a great team and I really really enjoy Milly’s audiobooks. Thanks Milly for wonderful happy stories.

April '26 First Reads (Prime) Novella

This wasn't bad. It wasn't sappy. I didn't eye-roll.

It is a short clean romance. The story flowed well.
