Story4.5 out of 5 stars 415
Everyone has secrets, and Rachel Holloway is no exception. She’s worked hard to keep the past where it belongs: dead and buried. And so far, she’s been very successful. But now the small newspaper where she works wants to produce a podcast on a cold case: the disappearance 12 years ago of young Molly Forster. Some secrets should never see the light of day, and, as far as Rachel is concerned, whatever happened to little Molly is one of them.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 14
When Cece James agrees to be cast as a ‘Juliet’ on the next season of the hit television show Marry Me, Juliet, it’s certainly not for the right reasons. She’s knee deep in debt and desperate for the associated pay cheque. The last thing on her mind is the hunky ‘Romeo’ waiting for her at the end of the gravel driveway. But Dylan Jayasinghe Mellor isn’t your usual fame-hungry TV star. An Olympic gold medallist with calloused hands, kind eyes and a propensity for panic attacks, it turns out he’s not here for the right reasons either.

Two weeks before Christmas and all through Manhattan, shop windows are decorated in red and green satin. I'm standing alone in front of the famous Vivant department store, when a charming man named Aiden asks my opinion of the décor. It's a tragedy in tinsel, I say, unable to lie. He asks for a better idea with a twinkle in his eye. Did I know he owned the place? No. He put me on the spot. Now I'm working for that man, trying to ignore that he's hot. But as a down on her luck girl with a difficult past, I know an opportunity when I see one—and I have to make it last.

Publisher's Summary
Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2020
Finally free from his nightmare of a marriage, Toby Fleishman is ready for a life of Tinder dating and weekend-only parental duties. But as he optimistically looks to a future of few responsibilities, his life turns upside down as his ex-wife Rachel suddenly disappears.
While Toby tries to find out what happened - juggling work, his kids and his new, app-assisted sexual popularity - his tidy narrative of a spurned husband is his sole consolation. But if he ever wants to really understand where Rachel went and what really happened to his marriage, he is going to have to consider that he might not have seen it all that clearly in the first place....
A blistering satirical novel about marriage, divorce and modern relationships, by one of the most exciting new voices in American fiction.
Critic Reviews
"Shrewdly observed, brimming with wisdom and utterly of this moment...Taffy Brodesser-Akner's debut is that rare and delicious treat: a page turner with heft." (Maria Semple)
"A marvel, full of shrewd observations, barbed wit, and deep insight...a remarkable debut novel from one of the most distinctive writers around." (Tom Perrotta)

Fun story but the audible App fouled it up
Good story line, narrator was fine. Was a little slow at times and the final few chapters jumped around.

kept waiting for a little uplift
it felt very whiney.
i did like the way it lead you to think about marriage and partnership. but Toby developed from annoying and a 'victim' to a bit of a pratt to be honest.

Good premise but not as compelling as expected
I'd heard really good things about this book (big twist, insightful etc) but personally I didn't find it overly compelling, though it was interesting enough that I'm glad I listened/read it. I didn't enjoy the narrator's style either, so unsure if this also affected my overall enjoyment of the book!

A very New York story
The story of a relationship and marriage breakup from all sides. Insightful and amusing Re all the inter relationships and yet doesn’t make any judgements. The online dating scene for Toby is very amusing. The performances are very good.

An unflinching tale about marriage and being human
This book really surprised me. I thought 'oh it's an interesting enough story' but the way it is told is the real beauty of this book. The raw, eloquent and unflinching inner monologue of what it can be like being a human is really quite special. You don't have to have to be married to read this book, but if you are, you may find yourself tearing up at the exposure of those things you didn't realise that other people felt about themselves, their partners, their marriages... oof it's a good one.

Cutting, true, sad and funny perspective.
Brodesser -Akner was able to turn me in knots as she changed perspectives during this thoroughly fantastic book. I loved her style. I loved the voice of the narrator I loved the insights on marriage, gender, parenthood and at times they were so close to the bone it was with a shock of recognition that I responded. I found it hard to stop listening. It was really clever as well - playing with narratives and possibilities so I was constantly engaged.

incredible insight into human nature
a must read for everyone. Women in their 40s will completely relate. everyone else should read it for a better understanding of human nature and how we are sold ideals that if we cannot live up to we feel like failures.
