Love Your Life

De: Sophie Kinsella

Narrado por: Fiona Hardingham

From the number one New York Times best-selling author of I Owe You One, an utterly delightful novel about a woman who ditches her dating app for a writer's retreat in Italy - only to find that real love comes with its own filters.

Call Ava romantic, but she thinks love should be found in the real world, not on apps that filter men by height, job, or astrological sign. She believes in feelings, not algorithms. So after a recent breakup and dating app debacle, she decides to put love on hold and escapes to a remote writers' retreat in coastal Italy. She's determined to finish writing the novel she's been fantasizing about, even though it means leaving her close-knit group of friends and her precious dog, Harold, behind.

At the retreat, she's not allowed to use her real name or reveal any personal information. When the neighboring martial arts retreat is canceled and a few of its attendees join their small writing community, Ava, now going by "Aria". meets "Dutch", a man who seems too good to be true. The two embark on a baggage-free, whirlwind love affair, cliff-jumping into gem-colored Mediterranean waters and exploring the splendor of the Italian coast. Things seem to be perfect for Aria and Dutch.

But then their real identities - Ava and Matt - must return to London. As their fantasy starts to fade, they discover just how different their personal worlds are. From food choices to annoying habits to sauna etiquette...are they compatible in anything? And then there's the prickly situation with Matt's ex-girlfriend, who isn't too eager to let him go. As one mishap follows another, it seems while they love each other, they just can't love each other's lives. Can they reconcile their differences to find one life together?

Hilarious!

The perfect tongue in cheek narrative that gets us to laugh at ourselves as we laugh at the characters in Kinsella’s book.

Typical storyline and kind of boring

Typical storyline of kind of boring. Some of it was just depressing and long-winded.
Obviously, it was a nice ending

Great listen

I felt all the emotions of “life” with this book. Great listen! I highly recommend.

Disappointed

my first Kinsella read. I concluded I am not a member of her target audience. Dear Reader, the characters and plots just did not engage me.

It was really cute

I liked the book a lot! Sophie Kinsella has always been one of my favorite authors. I didn’t love this one as much as her others, but it was still a wonderful book.

Fantastic!

Best book since Shopaholic series

Although the book starts off very quirky and fantasy like- the best of the book starts when the characters return to real life. The character’s over the top tendencies and pov become endearing and the writing is superb. Couldn’t stop listening and it was one of those nights where the book kept me up almost all night- get through the slower start and you won’t regret it!
