About this listen

“I love, love, love Lizzy Dent.”—Emily Henry, author of People We Meet on Vacation and Happy Place

Bridesmaids meets Emily in Paris—in London—in this hilarious and heartfelt story of one handsome neighbor, one no-good ex, and the summer Amy Duffy makes the comeback of her life.

Her past is a mess. But her present is about to get delicious.

Amy is more than one disastrous night of drunken revenge on her boss/ex-boyfriend’s Audi—the night that tanked her rising TV producer career and led to a hasty move to London for a fresh start. She is thirty years of awesomeness. At least, that’s what Amy tells herself every morning before trekking to her mediocre job making trailers at a failing British TV channel.

Two years later, she’s finally starting to believe it. Sparks are flying between her and Jake, her handsome new downstairs neighbor, and there’s a competition at work that just might get her career back on track while bringing her and Jake even closer. But then, in a twisted turn of fate, the ex-boyfriend who wrecked her life is hired as her new boss and past and present are about to epically, hilariously collide.

Critic reviews

One of Entertainment Weekly’s 27 Best New Books to Take on Your Summer Vacation

The Sweetest Revenge is my favorite kind of story—one with an irresistible premise that delivers in a way I never imagined possible. It is at once funny, poignant, and deliciously satisfying. I had to force myself to slow down and savor the end. I absolutely loved it.” —Annabel Monaghan, author of Nora Goes Off Script and Same Time Next Summer

“[A] gleefully over-the-top plot, but anyone who’s ever been screwed over at work will empathize with Amy’s plight. In the end, justice is served most deliciously. This is pure popcorn.” —Publishers Weekly

“Equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking, and swoon-worthy, Dent's addictive novel isn't here to make sweeping philosophical statements about the morality of vengeance. In fact, it actually delights in how delicious getting petty retribution can feel in the moment (so relatable).”—Entertainment Weekly

I read the author’s first book and loved it. I was excited to see she had released a couple more books! I finished this one in 24 hours, loved the quirky main character with a quick moving plot. If you’re looking for a feel good, rom-com book definitely give it a listen!!

Love this author!

The main character was oddly brash bordering on trashy. Drunken antics and lots of profanity. I’m not a prude but the frequent use of “F” word and “C” word didn’t really fit the characters. A professional woman in her 30s likely doesn’t yell these words all the time. Or get sloppy drunk repeatedly. Even her parents threw out the F bomb casually.
I like Brittany Pressley’s voice but her British accent is not good. It was inconsistent and sounded Irish at times. I’ll avoid her reading accents in the future.

Not as good as her previous book

It was an ok story. Not overly interesting. Used the F bomb every other sentence.

Way more cussing than needed

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Shallow characters, boring story arc. Nothing new or interesting here. The conflict was not compelling.

Disappointing
