Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The irresistible new stand-alone novel from number one best-selling author Sophie Kinsella.
I love you...but what if I can't love your life?
Ava is sick of online dating. She’s always trusted her own instincts over an algorithm, anyway, and she wants a break from it all. So when she signs up to a semi-silent, anonymous writing retreat in glorious Italy, love is the last thing on her mind.
Until she meets a handsome stranger. All she knows is that he’s funny, he’s kind and - she soon learns - he’s great in bed. He’s equally smitten, and after a whirlwind, intoxicating affair, they pledge their love without even knowing each other’s real names.
But when they return home, reality hits. They’re both driven mad by each other’s weird quirks and annoying habits, from his eccentric, naked-sauna-loving family to her terribly behaved, shirt-shredding dog. As disaster follows disaster, it seems that while they love each other, they just can’t love each other’s lives. Can they overcome their differences to find one life, together?

Interesting, not your usual romance.
Almost lost me at one point when it became full of negativity with struggling the struggling relationship between Matt & Ava. Glad I persevered with the book as I got back around to enjoying.

All the excuses for love
I almost stopped listening as the book was so badly described. Then again - maybe I wasn't paying enough attention? The quick falling in love with no problems threw me... this is bizarre I thought! But Ms Kinsella has skipped the initial hurdles to concentrate on the much more realistic and entertaining steeplechase that follows the first fluch of bliss. A fun new take on the expected love story. And I am a fan of the odd fun, light listen. My thanks again to the author who has provided this exact service many enjoyable times before.

Mixed feelings
I've not read Sophie Kinsella for years and really looked forward to this book.
The premise seemed really good and I like the overall message of the story but I found some events very predictable.
The main thing I disliked about this book was the extremely annoying main female character and the whole book is her story so this was obviously a huge minus. I found her extremely irritating and unrealistically stupid so I almost wanted to give up on the book from the first chapter!
I kept pushing through to the end just for the sake of it since I'd bought it but found it a bit tedious and it definitely wasn't a page turner it didn't keep me gripped at all.
There were a few parts that made me laugh and a few thought provoking lines but overall the lead character's overly and slightly unrealistic quirkiness grated at me and I didn't really enjoy this book, sadly.

Well I loved it
I read the reviews and thought - oh I don't think I will like this
I almost didn't even try.
but I found it heartwarming and so funny in places that I laughed out loud.
Maybe people took this too seriously. Its a cute fun story, with much humor between the lines

Not a laugh out loud like I was expecting
Enjoyed this book, but it didn't make me laugh out loud like many of Sophie Kinsella's books - felt like a fusion of Sophie Kinsella and madeleine wickham styles.
It ended up being a feel good book.

Love this story🩷
I’ve listened to this several times now and each time I marvel at how cleverly Sophie writes the neurotic inner-workings on Ava’s mind. So funny! Love the narrator too. Great performance!

Not my favourite Sophie Kinsella book
The main character was pretty annoying so I found it difficult to like her. Not much happens in this book. Prefer a book with more surprises
