About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING ANNE HATHAWAY AND NICHOLAS GALITZINE ON PRIME VIDEO
THE SCORCHING HOT LOVE AFFAIR ABOUT THE MAN THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT . . .
EVERYONE IN THE WORLD KNOWS HIS NAME. BUT IT'S YOU HE WANTS.
To the media, Hayes Campbell is the star of a record-breaking British boyband.
To his fans, he's the naughty-but-nice front man - whose dimples and outlandish dress sense drive them crazy.
To Solène Marchand, he's just the pretty face that's plastered over every girl's bedroom wall.
Until a chance meeting throws them together . . .
The attraction is instant. The chemistry is electric. The affair is Solène's secret.
But how long can it stay that way?

Fine, but icky at points…
I found it ok, but struggled to find the relationship okay… She keeps referring to him “a boy”, also in her mind, would have have felt less icky if she actually saw him as a man…
Fine, if you can ignore the ick and english accent 😉

I wish I hadn’t listened to the whole thing
I downloaded after seeing the film trailer. I feel disappointed that I listened the whole way through. The premise was good but the content was repetitive (I cried, I laughed at that, “hi” to each other constantly). It’s showy and urelatable. Solene is probably the most unlikeable book character I’ve ever come across, condescending, narcissistic, a privileged ‘victim’ with morales and values that flip and change every two minutes.
Not related to the written book but the narration was beyond the pail! The constant accent changes from American to horrendous English and French and pronouncing every single venue/wine/designer in the relevant accent became increasingly annoying.
Wouldn’t recommend

Sadly operated!
The storyline was lacking. I didnt enjoy the ending. Wouldn't read again! Disappointing, thought I'd read before the film as books are usually better. Maybe the film will be better 🤔

The crushing storytelling
Robinne made you feel like you were there, living every second with the characters, and you so desperately wished to slap some sense into the characters. They came alive through brilliant storytelling.

Good book, terrible narrator
The bad British accent really ruined my enjoyment of this book. It has all the elements of a fun, escapist novel but I wouldn’t recommend this on audible at all.

A book about Harry Styles! 😂😂😂
Loved it! Fun and easy to listen. A holiday romance but prolonged. Exactly what I needed to distract me from work, being locked at home and not allowed to meet friends and travel. This book is not for serious book readers, but someone looking to break the day and just have a bit of a laugh. Enjoy! 🙌

Very Medicore
I really liked the concept and idea but poorly executed. The ending was terrible and just left me so unsatisfied. The narrator was ok, but could have been done by someone better (I’m never a fan of authors narrating).

Easy fun listen (read)
Overall it was quite good, enjoyable to listen to although quite an abrupt end. However the English accent was borderline insulting. It was so poor that I almost had to stop listening multiple times

Story is fun but narration needs work
Really enjoyed this book and it kept me captured throughout. However, the English accent is really quite painful. Think it would have been better and more engaging if there was someone else. Made me nearly stop at times but the story kept me listening.
