À propos de cet audio
In this sapphic homage to While You Were Sleeping, a down-on-her-luck receptionist is mistaken as the girlfriend of a comatose man and doesn’t have the heart to come clean to his devastated family—even when she starts falling for his sister.
Alice Rue has never spoken to her longtime crush Nolan Altman, but after she saves his life, the EMTs tell his family that Alice is Nolan’s girlfriend. She wants to set the record straight, but Nolan’s in a coma, and if the family feels comforted by the idea of Nolan having his “girlfriend” by his side for what might be his last moments, isn’t it kinder to go along with it? At least for now?
The Altmans are impossibly nice and supportive, and there’s something about Nolan’s sister Van that makes Alice feel more seen and understood than she has in years. She knows it’s wrong to lie, but it’s easy to convince herself that she’s doing the right thing by evading the truth.
But what she can’t avoid is her growing chemistry with Van. Alice must decide if she can unravel this tangle of lies to salvage her chances with the woman who just may be the love of her life—especially if Nolan wakes up. Warm, witty, and full of heart, this debut rom-com is a love story for pessimists who secretly hope for their own happily ever after.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Nostalgic and witty, this romance is for everyone who yearned with the fire of a thousand suns, only to find true love in the unexpected. A swoony, tender delight.”—Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care
“This is the book I’ve wanted since the first time I saw While You Were Sleeping, and it was everything I dreamed of. Vibrant, voice-y, tender, genuinely funny, and bursting with all the imperfect charm of a real, hopeful love. I can’t wait to make everyone I know read this.”—Casey McQuiston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Pairing
“Emily Zipps’s debut sits at that ideal romantic comedy intersection, balancing equal parts zany concept and grounded emotional exploration. I loved following Alice—through her carefully crafted non-lies and a stream of surprises as steady as the Portland rain—as she moved from bone-deep loneliness to a life filled with people who care for her and for whom she wants to care in return. Funny, gentle, and incredibly sincere, Alice Rue Evades the Truth is a beautiful examination of what it means to fall in love not with the idea of a person but the full reality of them.”—KT Hoffman, author of The Prospects
“Zipps puts a fresh, queer spin on a classic rom-com setup in her thoroughly enjoyable debut. . . . This flawed but lovable heroine is sure to win hearts.”—Publishers Weekly
“This is a romance that, while funny and sexy, also deals seriously with parental loss, trauma, loneliness, and disability. The novel takes inspiration from the 1995 movie While You Were Sleeping, but it is very much its own enjoyable story about queer desire. . . . Zipps’s debut is perfect for readers looking for a sapphic romance with rom-com charm.”—Library Journal
