About this listen

'Book Boyfriend is Lucy Vine at the absolute top of her game' MIKE GAYLE

'A proper love letter to love stories and the people who read them' DAISY BUCHANAN

'From belly laughs to heartfelt emotion, this book is absolute peak romcom' LINDSEY KELK

Jemma has lived a thousand lives through books. The only life she isn’t living is her own.
That is, until the day she finds a note from a stranger in her favourite library book. When she replies, the pair begin a longhand conversation about their love of novels that sees Jemma finally coming out of her shell. Is she ready to fall in love for the first time – with someone she’s never met?

Clara has always run away from her problems, but this might finally be one she can’t escape.
Everyone wants to know what happened to Clara in America – but Clara isn’t talking. Instead she’s focusing all her energy obsessing over a hot new actor, starring in the TV adaptation of her twin Jemma's favourite book. Soon, Clara is reading every interview, trawling his social media, and following him to showbiz parties in the hopes he’ll notice she’s The One.

As the sisters fall hard for two men they’ve never met, it’s time to ask the question: Can either relationship survive the real world?

Critic reviews

'By turns proper laugh-out-loud funny and heart in the mouth moving, Book Boyfriend is Lucy Vine at the absolute top of her game! Clear your weekend because you’re in for a treat!' MIKE GAYLE

'Lucy Vine has fast become a staple of my summer reading list. Her books are unapologetically fun and unabashed escapism, chocked full of screwball comedy, tales of sisterhood and sweet twisty romance' KIRSTY GREENWOOD

'Opening a Lucy Vine book is the literary equivalent to cocktails with your girlfriends; joyous, hilarious and totally life-affirming, and Book Boyfriend has everything I want in a novel. From belly laughs to heartfelt emotion, this book is absolute peak romcom' LINDSEY KELK

'I snort-laughed, I cried, I texted my sister and told all my friends to read it. Book Boyfriend is a gloriously funny romp about sisterhood, family of all kinds and falling for fictional men. Absolute magic!' LIZZIE HUXLEY-JONES

'Like everything Lucy Vine writes, this is a hoot. A comedy masterclass, a swoonsome treat for bookish girls everywhere, and a joyful reminder that family – chosen, or otherwise – can sometimes be our best guides on the road to happily ever after' LAUREN BRAVO

'It's brilliantly smart and wickedly funny, a double-helping of romance with twists and turns that'll keep you hooked' JUSTIN MYERS

'She’s nailed it again! This is a brilliantly funny story, beautifully told by my absolute favourite author. Book Boyfriend has it all in spades; awesome friendships, bags of humour and a sassy sibling relationship to boot. I especially loved the split narrative from twin sisters Jemma and Clara. Because why have one love story when you can have two?' HANNAH DOYLE

'Gorgeously romantic, funny, sweet and bursting with fun. Lucy Vine is fast carving out her niche as a one-woman cheer machine. Loved it' MILLY JOHNSON

'A book that will ignite the fiercest debate about who the ultimate book boyfriend is. A gorgeous, fun, hilarious read that’s the perfect bit of escapism. Highly recommend' SALMA EL-WARDANY

'The best Lucy Vine book yet – I felt so, so happy when I was reading it, it’s a proper love letter to love stories and the people who read them. I lost count of the number of times I laughed out loud – I’d recommend this book to anyone who needs more joy in their lives!' DAISY BUCHANAN

'Book Boyfriend is fresh, funny and full of lovable characters. I loved the humour. A real joy from start to finish' PORTIA MACINTOSH

'We loved this warm and witty page-turner' HEAT

'A heartwarming emotional novel about relationships, sisters and books' MY WEEKLY

'A fun read!' CLOSER

'Pure romcom escapism' SUN

I’ve enjoyed all other books by this author but this one I couldn’t get on board with. The story was just a bit ridiculous. Some of the characters were likeable and I’d got used to the narrator by the end but overall it was very disappointing.

Story was disappointing

I didn’t recognise this book from the authors usual style at all. Found the part with the “extra” narrator to be a bit cringe and the characters were pretty flat and two dimensional. Overall the book was ok, but nothing more, a bit disappointed…

Not her best
