Story
Neve Blackthorne, head of one of the most successful Studios in Hollywood, is the one to rule them all. Powerful, beautiful, and aloof, she's ruthless, yet irresistible. Above all, she has an unquenchable survival instinct. Surely a fleeting entanglement with one Audrey Avens, a bright, young, rising star in her company, won't bring down the Wicked Queen of Tinseltown. Or will it? Neve's public persona has no chink in the untouchable armor, but when the lights go out and the cameras stop rolling, what becomes of an Ice Queen whose heart is ruled by love and fear?

A naïve activist is hired by a corporate villain but doesn't realize it. Cue one awkward farce, a twisty puzzle, and the slowest of slow burns in this opposites-attract, ice queen romance. Nine years ago, aloof, icy Michelle Hastings chose career over love. She's now living with that choice as she rules a secret corporation catering to the rich and powerful. Enter Eden Lawless. The guileless activist finds it a bit weird being employed by a mystery organization to bring down a corrupt mayor. But, hey, she's up for a challenge. Much harder is getting her beautiful new boss out of her head.

After the death of her grandmother, reluctant heiress Madilyn Marak agrees to stay with her grandfather at the estate for the summer. There, she finds an old diary hidden in an antique desk in the attic—The Apple Diary—written by her great-grandmother Isabel. In there, she finds the love story of Isabel and Lorah, along with a photograph of the two young women from 1933. The diary, like the love affair, was short and brief, but rich and vivid enough for her to feel a true bond with the women despite the heartbreaking ending.

A Satisfactory Listen
The story "The Delicate Things We Make" is predominantly a romance (insta love / heartbreak / redemption / reconciliation) with a little mystery thrown in.
The first several chapters had me flummoxed. With the fast paced informationally (artistic & fashion) dense narrative, I was confused. Should I be hurriedly scribbling notes in a vain attempt to help pass an impending examination? In relation to the story, I thought it excessive.
Whilst, the underlying storyline share commonality with tales of this genre, the story offers freshness and thus some uniqueness. The author's wordsmith ability definitely improved my enjoyment, during listening to this tale.
Several of the "sex scenes" could be considered quite graphic. I thought them more carnal lust rather than representative of love. I found little evidence of tenderness, gentleness, understanding (communication) and care between the "lovers". Yet, love is mentioned a few times.
The narration was a little fast for my liking. For myself, tweaking the Audible app led to disappointing results (change of pitch distortion). I frequently revisted the narration to improve my understanding of the narration. I thought that all the individual characters were portrayed with good expression and in keeping with the storyline. Generally, a satisfactory performance.
Overall, an enjoyable listen which demanded a greater level of concentration and replay.

5 Stars!
The Delicate Things we make is one of those books that, as i'm reading I can't help but wander how a writer has gotten to be so good at their craft as to be able to imagine a story with so much detail.
Milena McKay is one of those writers, and this is her debut novel????
The story follows Jamie, the down on her luck journalist, and the reclusive artist Vivian as they meet and form a bond under not so honest circumstances.
This story is beautiful and breathtaking and tragic and sweet. It is everything I love in a good book and after reading this one and The Headmistress, McKay has cemented her place as one of those all time great fiction writers.

Loved this book, the passion, drive and the artworld, the characters were always interesting and sexy.
Just a heads up this book has the subject around rape and the laws around it and how the characters fought this in court.

Great story and narration!!!
Third book I've listened to by this author and narrated by Abby Craden! Very enjoyable..not sure if this or Whispers of Solace (cleverly, also a chapter title in this book) is my number one. This story is single perspective but you actually get a lot of information about other characters etc...no hidden motives or mysteries as such. Jamie and Vivian are very lovable and interesting characters. You appreciate their strengths and vulnerabilities. Arabella is one of my favourite characters but the other secondary characters are also engaging. The story keeps moving forward and doesn't get bogged down in useless angst or long winded contemplations. I personally appreciate the decisiveness of this story.
The narration is top notch as is all of AC's work! Her narration technique and voices for each character are always ALWAYS impeccable. She is brilliant. Nothing else to say really.
