About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
THE IRRESISTIBLE ROMANTIC COMEDY FROM THE GLOBAL MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR.
Discover the joy that awaits when you set yourself free...
Sasha is well and truly over it all: work (all-consuming), friendships (on the back burner), sex-life (non-existent).
Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga and find solitude, she heads to the Devon resort she loved as a child. But it's off-season, the hotel is falling apart and she has to share the beach with a grumpy, stressed-out guy called Finn.
How can she commune with nature when he's sitting on a rock, watching her suspiciously? Especially when they don't agree on burnout cures. (Sasha: manifesting, wild swimming, secret Mars bars; Finn: drinking whisky.)
But when curious messages start appearing on the beach, Sasha and Finn are forced to begin talking – about everything. What's the mystery? Why are they both burned out? And what exactly is 'manifesting', anyway?
They might discover that they have more in common than they think. . .
'Hilarious, sparky and joyful - just the book you need if you're desperate for a break' BETH O'LEARY
'Funny, sad, relatable, and so brilliantly done. Sophie Kinsella is the queen of romantic comedy' JOJO MOYES
'Funny, feelgood, touching and full of the bittersweet, incisive wit that puts every Sophie Kinsella novel in a league of its own. I could not have loved it more.' LISA JEWELL

Laugh out loud for a holiday road trip
I had a long road trip driving alone over two days….The Burnout was a feel good, laugh out loud story that kept me company for the journey.
The narrator was amazing with the voices.
An enjoyable holiday book…I recommend.

the main character was likeable
I am a Sophie Kinsella fan. I have read multiple novels of hers, namely: the domestic goodness, I've got your number, the shopaholics series, my not so perfect life.
I have seen the journey of the growing maturity in her writing.
The Burnt Out had a good story, however I did not find the story as memorable or witty compared to Kinsella's previous work.
I enjoyed the book nevertheless however,
I was not blown away by it. 4 out of 5 stars.

Totally enjoyable
Plenty to like about this story. Quirky characters and a couple of plot twists to keep you engaged. Great narration. Not world changing, just a really enjoyable read. Will be looking out for other books by this author.
