About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The irresistible new stand-alone novel from number one best-selling author Sophie Kinsella.

I love you...but what if I can't love your life?

Ava is sick of online dating. She’s always trusted her own instincts over an algorithm, anyway, and she wants a break from it all. So when she signs up to a semi-silent, anonymous writing retreat in glorious Italy, love is the last thing on her mind.

Until she meets a handsome stranger. All she knows is that he’s funny, he’s kind and - she soon learns - he’s great in bed. He’s equally smitten, and after a whirlwind, intoxicating affair, they pledge their love without even knowing each other’s real names.

But when they return home, reality hits. They’re both driven mad by each other’s weird quirks and annoying habits, from his eccentric, naked-sauna-loving family to her terribly behaved, shirt-shredding dog. As disaster follows disaster, it seems that while they love each other, they just can’t love each other’s lives. Can they overcome their differences to find one life, together?

Insipid story which has an unfunny sitcom feel about a dimwit girl who falls in love with a bloke she meets on a writers retreat after having spent half a day with him then a night, and not knowing anything about him - not even his name.
If I can prevent one person from wasting valuable time on this title, I'll have done my bit for humanity.

Don't bother

The heroine is a totally useless woman even though she’s not meant to be. This sort of story is the reason why women end up unhappy in marriage, unrealistic male roles and plot. These are the things I was annoyed by but otherwise the story was ok in parts. The reader was quite good too.

Ok ... but socially problematic

The start
The middle
I regret
The end I liked...because everyone grow common sense and behaved like adults.
I could skip half the book and not be lost in the plot. I was annoyed and bored by the main characters, most of the time. do your self a favour and don't waste your money.

I regret this book
