About this listen

Evie Shine is adrift. After two decades of marriage, her husband has left her. Possibly for another woman. He isn’t saying. That Evie has spent her career dissecting relationships and mending broken hearts doesn’t help at all—it just makes everything worse. How did she not see this coming? And what’s she meant to do now?

Her own worst client, Evie ignores all useful advice and chooses platitudes, wine and hangovers over the prospect of moving on. But soon she realises that the beauty of having the rug ripped from under you is getting to see exactly what’s underneath.

So Many Beats of the Heart is about how the crushing weight of time can take its toll on long-term relationships. It’s about love lost, friendships found, losing your bearings and finding a way back to shore.

Carrie knows how to capture the essence of each character and with that skill takes you into a world that undulates through emotions that I wish I had the ability to express. This book has all the feels. Five stars. Hanging out for your next book.

Carrie Cox’s way with words had me laughing and nodding and smiling as I listened to this beautifully read story. It is a story with much heart, uplifting, sometimes raw and so insightful to the patchwork of human conditions.

Beautiful
