Story
The Cleverley family live a gilded life, little realising how precarious their privilege is, just one tweet away from disaster. George, the patriarch, is a stalwart of television interviewing, a 'national treasure' (his words); his wife, Beverley, a celebrated novelist; and their children, Nelson, Elizabeth, Achilles, various degrees of catastrophe waiting to happen. Together they will go on a journey of discovery through the Hogarthian jungle of the modern living where past presumptions count for nothing and carefully curated reputations can be destroyed in an instant.

Thoroughly entertaining!

The Echo Chamber depicts a family caught up in their obsession with social media and cancel culture.
Let’s introduce you to the Cleverley family -
Father George is a TV chat show host, a self declared ‘national treasure’…
Mother Beverley is an ‘author’, however these days she has a ghost writer write all her books…
And their three extremely dysfunctional children - Nelson, Elizabeth and Achilles…
Full of self-absorbed characters, who are all unwittingly interconnected, The Echo Chamber was thoroughly entertaining!
John Boyne is one of my favourite authors & Richard E. Grant was the most perfect choice as the narrator.

Change of Heart was absolutely divine!
Reviewed: 06-24-24
Whitney and Henry first meet at a wedding that surgeons Whitney and her best-friend Meri crash while on their once-a-year vacation together (that’s their thing) where Henry is the best man. Henry is the probably the furtherest thing from a surgeon she could find in the moment and that’s totally in his favour because she doesn’t want anything to do with her real life. She realises after a night with him that he really is one of the good guys. At least she’ll have the memories because they’ll never see each other again…
But then it turns out that Henry is one of her new residents, that she’ll be his boss and someone she will see everyday for the next two months while he’s doing his transplantation rotation.
Henry has not been able to forget a minute of his time with Whitney… Being on her rotation has him hanging on by a thread, determined not to cross the line for the next 8 weeks, so he trips and stumbles his way through the transplantation rotation. He’s just so impressed by how competent and highly skilled she is, and he notices that she feels absolutely everything in a such a deep and serious way. He notices everything about her, and knows he loves her and will never recover from it. He knows that it’s something that he might have to wait for…
Whitney while professionally is highly skilled and competent, relationships have proved highly complicated for her. Henry always gives her the space she needs… She might need some convincing, because she’s not sure what they had together will be the same, except it turns out it might actually be better than they remember!
What an absolute treat the audiobook dropped before the actual book!!
