A SUNDAY TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2023

‘Everything you want from a rom com and satisfyingly knotty with proper, recognisable characters. She just gets better and better’ JOJO MOYES

‘I LOVE her books PASSIONATELY and this is her best yet’ MARIAN KEYES

‘She’s so ridiculously talented . . . consider this recommendation my personal gift to you and your life’ EMILY HENRY

When Joe and Roisin join their group of friends for a weekend away, it’s a triple celebration – a birthday, an engagement and the launch of Joe’s new crime drama on TV.

But when Roisin sees secrets she shared with Joe play out on the TV screen, she knows that between us means nothing at all.

Roisin finds herself searching for clues to the truth – about her life, their history, and the man she thought she loved. And it’s then that Roisin finds the most unexpected plot twist of them all. Among those same old friends, there’s a surprising potential for new beginnings . . .

I was hooked to the story line!

What a fantastic read. I chose to listen to the audiobook without reading the synopsis. The twists and turns were surprising and fun. Loved the storyline and I grinning from ear to ear.

Good distraction

I liked this much more than author’s last book; this is much more upbeat. Definitely not a standard romance structure, it’s almost a novel in two halves, but I enjoyed it. Didn’t love the narrator’s voice for male characters.

Not as funny as her other books.

I love this author and always thrilled to read her books as they come out. I felt this story wasn’t as funny as her others and for some reason I didn’t get into the story line or care about the characters as much. Still enjoyable to read and look forward to the next one.

Will you enjoy choosing this? Definitely.

The author has the knack of weaving her stories together in a new, different and fresh context with them all individually being thoroughly enjoyed.
Don’t waste your time combing through the reviews; instead just grab it, download it and settle into enjoy.

**if you feel a bit uncertain with the narrator, don’t worry- after about 10 minutes I had for forgotten that I was bothered.

Between Us

Slow start to the book and it took time to get past the narrator sounding older than the protagonists but I’m glad I stuck it out as I quite enjoyed it in the end.

Well written but not as good as expected

I'm a huge fan usually but this one lacked chemistry behind the two protagonists. Falls short compared to her other works.

Not as good as her other books

I have enjoyed most of the author's books, but found this one disappointing. I didn't empathise with the characters or find the story believable.

review

I eagerly awaited the release of this audiobook and was sadly disappointed. The narration is so HARSH that I could barely focus on what was being spoken. Each character seems to have a different volume. I used a precious audible credit on it, have tried six times to listen again, but just can't handle the aggressive, sometimes yelling tones. What a shame.
