Publisher's summary
It was the tumultuous romance that scandalized the world: Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner fought, loved, and lived life to the hilt. Now their unbridled story is brought vividly to life by Heather Webb, the bestselling author of Meet Me in Monaco and The Next Ship Home.
In the golden age of Hollywood, two of the brightest stars would define—and defy—an era…
She was the small-town southern beauty transformed into a Hollywood love goddess. He was the legendary crooner whose voice transfixed the world. They were Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra. Separately they were irresistible; together they were an explosive combination.
Ava’s star is rising just as Frank’s career—and public image as a family man—is taking a hit. Gone are the days of the screaming bobbysoxers and chart-topping hits. Ava, however, finds herself gracing the front page of every tabloid in America. Jealousy and cheating abound, and when the two succumb to their temperaments and their vices, their happiness is threatened at every turn.
As the pair ride the rollercoaster of success and failure, passion and anger, they both wonder if the next turn will be the end of their careers, and most devastating of all—the end of all they’ve shared.
A captivating novel with a star-studded cast spanning continents and decades, Strangers in the Night brings to life the most riveting love story of the twentieth century.

Story
Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance.

Lovely and moving
Lovely narration and very moving at times. The style of the book switching back and forth from Frank's perspective and Ava's side of the story is captivating, sweeping you into a time in American history, bringing you behind the scenes of the successes and struggles of celebrities all held together by a captivating love story.

Convincing performances
While a bit too "romance book" for my typical taste, I wanted to commend the performances. Both narrators are convincing as Frank and Ava, and "Frank," in particular, sounded just as I imagined. If you enjoy stories about the Golden Age of Hollywood or fan fiction about famous couples, I encourage you to add this to your spring or summer listens!

Don't Bother
I didn't like this dramatization at all. I've always liked historical fiction, but this was way over the top. The guy who pretends to be Frank Sinatra is annoying. I'd listen and end up having to go back and listen to the same chapter again to only learn there wasn't anything worth listening to. Nope...not for me at all, I returned it.
