À propos de cet audio
"Brilliantly faceted and extremely funny. . . . While I was reading it, I was making a list of all the people I wanted to send it to, until I realized that I wanted to send it to everyone I know." — Ann Patchett
“Improbably charming...will have you chortling and reading lines aloud.” — PEOPLE
The internationally bestselling, compulsively readable novel—spiky, sharp, intriguingly dark, and tender—that combines the psychological insight of Sally Rooney with the sharp humor of Nina Stibbe and the emotional resonance of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine.
Martha Friel just turned forty. Once, she worked at Vogue and planned to write a novel. Now, she creates internet content. She used to live in a pied-à-terre in Paris. Now she lives in a gated community in Oxford, the only person she knows without a PhD, a baby or both, in a house she hates but cannot bear to leave. But she must leave, now that her husband Patrick—the kind who cooks, throws her birthday parties, who loves her and has only ever wanted her to be happy—has just moved out.
Because there’s something wrong with Martha, and has been for a long time. When she was seventeen, a little bomb went off in her brain and she was never the same. But countless doctors, endless therapy, every kind of drug later, she still doesn’t know what’s wrong, why she spends days unable to get out of bed or alienates both strangers and her loved ones with casually cruel remarks.
And she has nowhere to go except her childhood home: a bohemian (dilapidated) townhouse in a romantic (rundown) part of London—to live with her mother, a minorly important sculptor (and major drinker) and her father, a famous poet (though unpublished) and try to survive without the devoted, potty-mouthed sister who made all the chaos bearable back then, and is now too busy or too fed up to deal with her.
But maybe, by starting over, Martha will get to write a better ending for herself—and she’ll find out that she’s not quite finished after all.

Histoire
Seventy-seven-year-old Dorothy Darling has lived in Shelley House longer than any of the other residents, and if you take their word for it, she’s as cantankerous as they come. But Dorothy has her reasons for spying. And none of them require justifying herself to Kat Bennett. Twenty-five-year-old Kat has never known a place where she felt truly at home, and crumbling Shelley House is no different. Her neighbors find her prickly and unapproachable, but beneath her tough exterior, Kat’s plagued by a guilty secret from her past.

Having already flambéed her culinary career beyond recognition, Rita Clarkson is now stranded in God-Knows-Where, New Mexico, with a busted-ass car and her three temperamental siblings, whom she hasn't seen in years. When rescue shows up - six-feet-plus of hot, charming sex on a motorcycle - Rita's pretty certain she's gone from the frying pan right into the fire.

Histoire
In April 1944, Rudolf Vrba became one of the very first Jews to escape from Auschwitz and make his way to freedom—among only a tiny handful who ever pulled off that near-impossible feat. He did it to reveal the truth of the death camp to the world—and to warn the last Jews of Europe what fate awaited them. Against all odds, Vrba and his fellow escapee, Fred Wetzler, climbed mountains, crossed rivers, and narrowly missed German bullets until they had smuggled out the first full account of Auschwitz the world had ever seen.

Really enjoyed learning about mental health and relationships
A really nice listen. I would recommend this book. It covers topics not usually incorporated in fiction books. Modern and realistic love story

Painfully pointless
I made it through a whole four listening hours … waiting patiently for something to happen. It never did. It was abysmal. The characters were unlikeable and pathetic. The main character started an autobiography… of her pathetic life? …which is what this book is. I don’t get it.

Funny quips floating in a sea of misery.
This is a book about living with a serious mental illness--likely borderline personality disorder. Our protagonist is witty and emotionally dysregulated. She is an interpersonal wrecking ball who is suffering. The writing is witty, but this isn't a funny book. If you are interested in an exploration of living with mental illness in the first person...go for it. If you're looking for a romp, keep looking. I stayed to the end, but it wasn't the light- listen- while- I -walk- the -dog I was looking for.
I appreciated the performance...and again, some of the writing.

Really difficult to get through, may have been worth it
This is a tough one. While listening to the halfway point of the book, I was literally fantasizing about the bad review I was going to leave. The main character is very flawed, and while I usually like that, she doesn’t have a single redeeming quality for most of the book. Most of the book is just extremely depressing and I know the point was to showcase a character with mental illness but to be honest, it dragged ON AND ON. I mean, most of the book was not interesting and you sort of just feel sorry for all the characters. It’s a slow burn but I did really start to enjoy it near the climax and end. I do wish I didn’t spend my credit on this though. I did not find it witty, or funny, just really sad. If you like books that are gripping after the first few pages, don’t read this.
