Life as Planned by Amanda Prowse

Amanda Prowse’s Life as Planned gently draws you into the world of identical twins Ashleigh and Remy, following them through the big and small moments, across the decades,  that shape their lives. With her signature warmth and deep understanding of family bonds, Prowse adds a tender thread of “what if” that makes their journey feel both intimate and deeply relatable. 

Up to the age of eleven, Ashleigh and Remy’s lives run side by side, identical in almost every way — until one moment changes everything. An act born out of love sets off consequences no one could have predicted, sending their paths spiralling apart. The real question is whether this fracture will define them forever, or if the bond between the twins is strong enough to find its way back.

What makes the story linger long after the final page is the way Amanda Prowse brings every character to life with such honesty and depth. Ashleigh, Remy, and the people who orbit them feel wonderfully real — flawed, tender, and utterly believable. It’s this authenticity, this ability to draw characters you care about as if you’ve known them for years, that makes the novel so compelling and reminds you why Prowse’s storytelling is so loved.
