Publisher's Summary
*2023's MOST ANTICIPATED SUMMER READ*
'You will love The Rachel Incident' GABRIELLE ZEVIN, author of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
'Funny, lovely, romantic, drenched in nostalgia' MARIAN KEYES
The Rachel Incident is an all-consuming love story. But it's not the one you're expecting. It's unconventional and messy. It's young and foolish. It's about losing and finding yourself. But it is always about love.
When Rachel falls in love with her married professor, Dr Byrne, her best friend James helps her devise a plan to seduce him. But what begins as a harmless crush soon pushes their friendship to its limits. Over the course of a year they will find their lives ever more entwined with the Byrnes' and be faced with impossible choices and a lie that can't be taken back...
'Perfectly captures the intensity and high and lows of first love, and it's also very, very funny' RED MAGAZINE

Such a great story. Beautifully written and told. I could have listened to this book forever. Wasn’t expecting this story line at all - just brilliant!

Best book I have read in a long time!
So surprising, impossible to put down. The characters felt so real, I had to remind myself it wasn’t a memoir!

So good EXCEPT FOR
Narration, great. Story, great. The very end was not good because it was left on a cliffhanger. I felt annoyed and had an ‘are you serious’ moment when it finished.

Real and raw, with the gorgeous narration the cherry on top!
Loved this story, each one of the characters, and the beautiful Irish narrator. Can see this as a TV show or mini-series.

Pitch perfect
I inhaled this book in a day. The audio was perfect, the voice of the reader and the author divine. I’m sad to let go of the characters. And hope I will catch up with James one day in New York ❤️
