À propos de cet audio
A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK ∙ AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ Two writers compete for the chance to tell the larger-than-life story of a woman with more than a couple of plot twists up her sleeve in this dazzling and sweeping novel from Emily Henry.
As featured in The New York Times ∙ Rolling Stone ∙ People ∙ Good Morning America ∙ NPR ∙ Vogue ∙ The Cut ∙ USA Today ∙ Cosmopolitan ∙ Harper's Bazaar ∙ Marie Claire ∙ Glamour ∙ ELLE ∙ E! Online ∙ The New York Post ∙ Bustle ∙ Reader's Digest ∙ BBC ∙ PopSugar ∙ SheReads ∙ Paste ∙ and more!
Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: to write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years—or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the twentieth century.
When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which she’ll choose the person who’ll tell her story, there are three things keeping Alice’s head in the game.
One: Alice genuinely likes people, which means people usually like Alice—and she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over.
Two: She’s ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpressed family with a Serious Publication.
Three: Hayden Anderson, who should have no reason to be concerned about losing this book, is glowering at her in a shaken-to-the core way that suggests he sees her as competition.
But the problem is, Margaret is only giving each of them pieces of her story. Pieces they can’t swap to put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they’re in the same room.
And it’s becoming abundantly clear that their story—just like the tale Margaret’s spinning—could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad . . . depending on who’s telling it.

There's no such thing as a perfect guy, but Xavier Rush comes disastrously close. A gorgeous veterinarian giving Greek god vibes—all while cuddling a tiny kitten? Immediate yes. That is until Xavier opens his mouth and proves that even sculpted gods can say the absolute wrong thing. Like, really wrong. Of course, there’s nothing Samantha loves more than proving an asshole wrong . . . unless, of course, he can admit he made a mistake.

Blake Porter is riding high, until he's not. Fired abruptly from his job as a VP of marketing and unable to make the mortgage payments on the new brownstone he shares with his fiancée, he's desperate to make ends meet. Enter Whitney. Beautiful, charming, down-to-earth, and looking for a room to rent. She's exactly what Blake's looking for. Or is she? Because something isn't quite right.

Beth and her gentle, kind husband Frank are happily married, but their relationship relies on the past staying buried. But when Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives.

Aiden Valentine has a secret: he’s fallen out of love with love. And as the host of Baltimore’s romance hotline, that’s a bit of a problem. But when a young girl calls in to the station asking for dating advice for her mom, the interview goes viral, thrusting Aiden and Heartstrings into the limelight. Lucie Stone thought she was doing just fine. She has a good job; an incredible family; and a smart, slightly devious kid. But when all of Baltimore is suddenly scrutinizing her love life—or lack thereof—she begins to question if she’s as happy as she believed.

Minnie Cooper knows two things with certainty: that her New Year's birthday is unlucky, and that it's all because of Quinn Hamilton, a man she's never met. Their mothers gave birth to them at the same hospital just after midnight on New Year's Day, but Quinn was given the cash prize for being the first baby born in London in 1990 - and the name Minnie was meant to have, as well. With luck like that, it's no wonder each of her birthdays has been more of a disaster than the one before.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Her best-selling romances have made her a new standard-bearer of the genre."—The New York Times
“Readers can count on Em-Hen to transport them to a kinder, sunnier, and funnier galaxy where happy endings can be counted on . . . Henry’s magic elixir, it seems, is to return again and again to a simple boy-meets-girl formula while writing textured novels populated with vivid characters that never feel formulaic: she takes us back to a time when we believed, with all our being, that love conquers all.”—The Boston Globe
“A sweeping love story about the choices we make and the threads that knit us together. Thoughtful, moving, and deliciously tender. Emily Henry is as captivating as ever. I love everything she does.”—B.K. Borison, New York Times bestselling author of First Time Caller

Interesting story, but disappointed with the smut
I found this book hard to “put down”, especially in the first handful of chapters. The premise of the book is intriguing and the narrator is excellent. I became increasingly disappointed with the “will they, won’t they” sexual tension smut. I wish the story could just be about the story, without the constant sexual references. I feel like I can’t even picture the character, Alice, due to lack of information about her appearance; but I can remember about 7 different intimate moments explained in detail. The author has a lovely and eloquent writing style, but I just don’t do smut.

Love story was questionable and undeveloped - why did these two even like each other?
Normally don’t mind Julia Whalen but at the climactic moments she was talking so fast and nearly screaming - talk about unpleasant.

Another great EH novel, but not a romance.
Okay this is so different to the usual EH romance, and is more fiction than romance, but still so incredible.
This is giving the quintessential great EH characters, a spot of tension, high stakes job opportunity, and a lot of great prose.
Adore reading this, especially with how different it is than her usual romance. I’m not sure everyone will love this if they’re expecting the usual EH romance, but if you look at it objectively as fiction, I think you’ll really enjoy this.

another emhen banger
I have flip flopped back and forth between rating this 5 or 4 stars so (for now) I'm settling on a solid 4.5 stars.
Hayden & Alice.
I'm convinced that EmHen can't write a bad book. I favour some more than others, but she literally can't write a bad book. Her writing is incredible and so easy to get lost in. Add in the magic that is Julia Whelan's narration and I'm a goner. I think the reason I wanted to rate this book 5 stars was because of Julia Whelan's narration. But when I thought about the story more that's when I started considering more of a 4 star.
The story kept me captivated and interested. I went into this with the mindset that I might not like it as much as some of EmHen's other books because I knew she was taking a different approach. While it felt quite similar to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (which I didn't love) but with a side sub plot of romance, EmHen's writing and narration by Julia Whelan, I was blown away by how much I enjoyed it.
I know that this book focused less on the actual romance than her previous books, but I still loved Hayden and Alice enough for it to feed my desire for the romance plot. Would I have loved to dive deeper into their connection and story? Of course - I'm a romance lover forever and always, but I enjoyed the storytelling plot too.
I can imaging telling a story within a story is not exactly easy to execute and I think Emily did a fantastic job of navigating the different layers of this story. In true Emily Henry fashion, we didn't just navigate complex romantic relationships, but we also tackled difficult familial relationships as well.
The end of this book, when Alice reconnect with her mom had me sobbing. Nine times out of ten if I'm crying in a book it's NOT because of the romance plot and entirely because of some familial issue getting resolved. idk why but that's usually the case and this was no exception.
As is to be expected by an EmHen book, the title is misleading. The story within this story is about a Great Big Tragic Life more than anything. So take that as you will.
Overall, I really enjoyed the story and Emily taking a stab at something a little different, I LOVED the narration, and I might end up changing this rating back to a 5 star lol.
Julia Whelan is truly a god in the audiobook world. I will continue to opt to listen to emily henry's books over eyeball reading them just to listen to Julia.

Heart Squeezing
5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is my favourite Emily Henry book by a long shot, and I really enjoyed her others. I found this so poignant and heart squeezing. Really wonderfully paced with a broad spectrum of personalities, histories, tensions and some surprises. I may have cried a bit 🙃 I’m a sucker for heartfelt family moments though
As always, Julia Whelan narrates this wonderfully.

A rewrite of the 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo….
I honestly wish I could get my money back. The way the narrator said croissant ruined the entire story for me. I wanted to love it, but it fell really flat for me. Couldn’t grip the characters and didn’t feel like the story was going anywhere productive
