About this listen

A dazzling Audible Original written by Natalie Cooper, performed by Jenna Coleman (Victoria, The Cry)

Iris Nightingale is more than okay. She has her life planned out to a perfect schedule. Work, run, sleep, repeat. She spends her quiet Friday nights sitting alone on a bench in the park, trying to push back the memories that no amount of running can help her escape.

But one evening, there’s someone else on her bench - Hunter. Tall, wry and infuriating: everything about him gets under Iris’s skin. Little does she know that he's about to upset more than just her routines...

Hired as a consultant at the firm where Iris works as engineering manager, Hunter has a knack for knowing just what to say to irritate her, and Iris can’t help rising to the spark in his eyes each time.

Sent away on a work trip together, Iris is taken out of her comfort zone. As their connection deepens, will Iris finally be able to face the memories that have been haunting her for years? Can her blossoming relationship with Hunter survive some brutal truths?

Only one thing is certain: The spark between them is beyond Iris’s expertise, and there's no running away from it.

The story is slightly too long but it's worth sticking out to the end for a very gentle and sweet finale. Some really beautiful themes around being kind to yourself and processing grief to open yourself up to a second chance at love. Stellar narration made this an easy listen

A really sweet listen

The book had an unintended hilarious twist that in the intimate scenes it sounded like the narrater was saying "Tongs" where they meant "Tongues". I'm pretty sure this is a me problem though ad the narration was otherwise fantastic.

The characters were likeable. I will re listen but if I'm honest it will mostly be for the mental images of Tongs in an absurd setting.

Tongs

This was a typical romance novel, if that’s what you are looking for it’s perfect. No adventure, no mystery no substance.

Good narration

It took me a bit to get into as it has a bit of a depressing tone, however the story was good and very realistic about the topics with an interesting twist at the end and a love story or 2

Easy listen.

A very sweet story, but I kept waiting for something to happen. A great story for anxious readers, nothing bad happens.

A real slog to get to the end

Iris is NOT ok, she's a complete nut job. If I knew this woman in real life I would scream and tear my hair out. She's so self-absorbed and has absolutely no ability to think anyone else in the world has feelings / a life / other family / other commitments. The book is good and the narrator is great, but the protagonist is a nightmare.

Iris is a PITA
