Publisher's Summary

Six years have passed since Jake Sanders watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd. But six years haven't come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd's obituary, he can't keep himself away from the funeral.

There he gets the glimpse of Todd's wife he's hoping for...but she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she's been married to Todd for more than a decade, and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life - a time he has never gotten over - is turned completely inside out. As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can't be found or don't remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. Jake's search for the woman who broke his heart - and who lied to him - soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based on carefully constructed fiction.

Kerry Shale’s stage credits include His Girl Friday (National Theatre) and Frost/Nixon (West End). TV credits include Dr Who and Life’s Too Short. Recent films include A Fantastic Fear of Everything. He has won three Sony Radio Awards, the APA Award for Best Male Audio Book Reader (UK) and the Audie Award for Best Male Audio Book Reader (USA). His audio books include two winners of the Man Booker Prize, Life of Pi and The White Tiger.

Easy listen

6 Years hooked me within the first chapter. The story was intriguing and the narrator did the characters well.

Ok, but not up to the standard of his other books

It is slow. Very, very slow. There is not real build up, not real twist. Not his finest works

Riveting Read

The synopsis sounded like a light romantic novel, obviously a good one, judging by the amount of stars beside the title. Lots of twists
Not what I expected - much better!

Kept me listening

Couple of negatives but still a decent read.
I found myself skipping forward through the inner monologue where the main character summarises the situation again and again. There were a few too many things going on to follow sometimes with a lot of characters. But I must say, it kept me listening and wanting to find out how it all ends.

The voice is fine, but one characters voice changes a lot around the second half of the book. The voice changes a character completely so that was a bit annoying.
