Holly then shared another post explaining why she was so excited for the audiobook.

She said: "Spending a dreamy afternoon recording the audiobook of #reflections … I listen to a lot of audio books… you are my people!

"To be able to listen to what’s between the pages and be on a walk, cooking dinner, stuck in traffic is such a joy.

"Somehow when a book is read by the author it brings it even more to life… not long to go now… link to preorder is in my bio."
