About this listen

Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination is the 'Bond-style romp' from Helen Fielding, the bestselling author of Bridget Jones's Diary.

From the white heat of Miami to the implants of LA, the glittering waters of the Caribbean to the deserts of Arabia, Olivia Joules pits herself against the forces of terror armed only with a hatpin, razor sharp wits and a very special underwired bra.

How could a girl not be drawn to the alluring, powerful Pierre Ferramo, with his hooded eyes, impeccable taste, unimaginable wealth, exotic homes across the globe and a rather dubious French accent? But is it possible that Ferramo is actually a major terrorist, bent on the western world’s destruction? Or is it all just a product of Olivia Joules’s overactive imagination?

Join Olivia in her heart-stopping and hilarious quest to save the world in this witty, contemporary and utterly unputdownable thriller.

Critic Reviews

A girl’s own adventure to rattle through in one entertaining sitting. Helen Fielding is a great comic writer. (Olivia Glazebrook)

I have this book in paperback and was incredibly disappointed by this version of the book.
Huge important chunks were missing from this audiobook and changes to the original.
The books is meant to be fun and quirky, this version makes it pointless and not as humorous.

Large chunks missing

I wouldn’t call this book particularly engaging. Compared to Bridget Jones. But I kept listening because of this enchanting voice. Please, narrate more!

The voice is magical. I wish there were more titles narrated by Rachel Weisz.
