Summary

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?

Interesting, not your usual romance.

Almost lost me at one point when it became full of negativity with struggling the struggling relationship between Matt & Ava. Glad I persevered with the book as I got back around to enjoying.

All the excuses for love

I almost stopped listening as the book was so badly described. Then again - maybe I wasn't paying enough attention? The quick falling in love with no problems threw me... this is bizarre I thought! But Ms Kinsella has skipped the initial hurdles to concentrate on the much more realistic and entertaining steeplechase that follows the first fluch of bliss. A fun new take on the expected love story. And I am a fan of the odd fun, light listen. My thanks again to the author who has provided this exact service many enjoyable times before.

Mixed feelings

I've not read Sophie Kinsella for years and really looked forward to this book.

The premise seemed really good and I like the overall message of the story but I found some events very predictable.

The main thing I disliked about this book was the extremely annoying main female character and the whole book is her story so this was obviously a huge minus. I found her extremely irritating and unrealistically stupid so I almost wanted to give up on the book from the first chapter!

I kept pushing through to the end just for the sake of it since I'd bought it but found it a bit tedious and it definitely wasn't a page turner it didn't keep me gripped at all.

There were a few parts that made me laugh and a few thought provoking lines but overall the lead character's overly and slightly unrealistic quirkiness grated at me and I didn't really enjoy this book, sadly.
