About this listen

From the author of Love & Virtue, Seeing Other People is the darkly funny story of two very different sisters, and the summer that stretches their relationship almost to breaking point.

Charlie's skin was stinging. Not with heat or sweat, but with that intense, body-defining self-consciousness—that sense of being watched. She lowered her eyes from Eleanor's loving gaze. Her throat taut with tears, she swallowed. ‘You're a good sister, Eleanor.'

‘Don't say that.'

After two years of lockdowns, there's change in the air. Eleanor has just broken up with her boyfriend, Charlie's career as an actress is starting up again. They're finally ready to pursue their dreams—relationships, career, family—if only they can work out what it is they really want.

When principles and desires clash, Eleanor and Charlie are forced to ask: where is the line between self-love and selfishness? In all their confusion, mistakes will be made and lies will be told as they reckon with the limits of their own self-awareness.

loved all the imagery, found the plot tipped into being a little too melodramatic for me towards the end but loved that the most important relationship is their sisterhood.

I loved this book! The story was engaging. The characters were real and relatable. The narrator did an excellent job and I loved the subtleties of voice changes for each character. I read Diana Reid’s first book and loved it, and enjoyed this book equally. Highly recommend!

Brilliant book
