About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE IRRESISTIBLE ROMANTIC COMEDY FROM THE GLOBAL MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR.

Discover the joy that awaits when you set yourself free...

Sasha is well and truly over it all: work (all-consuming), friendships (on the back burner), sex-life (non-existent).

Armed with good intentions to drink kale smoothies, try yoga and find solitude, she heads to the Devon resort she loved as a child. But it's off-season, the hotel is falling apart and she has to share the beach with a grumpy, stressed-out guy called Finn.

How can she commune with nature when he's sitting on a rock, watching her suspiciously? Especially when they don't agree on burnout cures. (Sasha: manifesting, wild swimming, secret Mars bars; Finn: drinking whisky.)

But when curious messages start appearing on the beach, Sasha and Finn are forced to begin talking – about everything. What's the mystery? Why are they both burned out? And what exactly is 'manifesting', anyway?

They might discover that they have more in common than they think. . .

'Hilarious, sparky and joyful - just the book you need if you're desperate for a break' BETH O'LEARY

'Funny, sad, relatable, and so brilliantly done. Sophie Kinsella is the queen of romantic comedy' JOJO MOYES

'Funny, feelgood, touching and full of the bittersweet, incisive wit that puts every Sophie Kinsella novel in a league of its own. I could not have loved it more.' LISA JEWELL

Transparent from the beggining

A simple beach read. Dont expect too much. Dialogs felt oftentimes very artificial. Good for relax but there are better books for sure.

She understands Burnout!

This book was clearly written by someone who truly understands burnout- how it messes with your head, your body and your will to do anything other than the bare minimum; how overwhelming the silliest things are and how you could make the stupidest decisions out of pure exhaustion. Really enjoyed it.

Frustrating

The main character is so frustrating, she is not funny neither cute, she is just embarrassing and cringy. I cannot finish this book. I love other Sophie Kinsella's books but this one is dissapointing.
