About this listen
A delicious, sharp novel about a woman who jets off to France after her perfect marriage collapses, putting the broken pieces of herself back together while rediscovering her own joie de vivre - a lust for life, art, and steamy sex.
“Artful, feminist, and emotionally gripping. The Unbreakables is a remarkable tribute to a woman’s strength in the face of heartbreak and adversity.” (Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient)
The worst birthday ever might just be the gift of a lifetime....
It’s Sophie Bloom’s 42nd birthday, and she’s ready for a night of celebration with Gabe, her devoted longtime husband, and her two besties and their spouses. Dinner is served with a side of delicious gossip, including which North Grove residents were caught with their pants down on Ashley Madison after the secret online dating site for married and committed couples was hacked. Thirty-two million cheaters worldwide have been exposed...including Sophie’s “perfect” husband. To add insult to injury, she learns Gabe is the top cheater in their town.
Humiliated and directionless, Sophie jumps into the unknown and flees to France to meet up with her teenage daughter, who is studying abroad and nursing her own heartbreak. After a brief visit to Paris, Sophie heads out to the artist enclave of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. There, for the first time in a long time, Sophie acknowledges her own desires - not her husband’s, not her daughter’s - and rediscovers her essence with painful honesty and humor, reawakening both her sensuality and ambitions as a sculptor.
As she sheds her past and dodges obstacles traveling off the beaten path, Sophie Bloom is determined to blossom. Allowing her true self to emerge in the postcard beauty of Provence, Sophie must decide what is broken forever...and what it means to be truly unbreakable.

My name is Courtney Jane Salinger...and I'm sick of games. Sick of the Friday night bar-scene-cum-meat-market. Sick of awful dates and one-night stands, booty calls and guys who don’t call back, mixed messages or no messages and - and - and...I'm sick of all of it. I’m done. It's too hard, and worse: little by little, it's making me hard. It's breaking my heart. What do I want? That's easy. I want a house in suburbia with a white picket fence. I want babies to buckle into a minivan. But most of all, I want to be married. I want a husband.

Story
When sixty-three-year-old Sylvia finds her husband in bed with the floozy of their Boca retirement community, she’s shocked and furious . . . at first. By the time her head stops spinning, Sylvia realizes that actually, this isn’t what she wants anymore anyway. So she enlists her best friend, the glamorous older widow Evie, to join her in setting up a new life in Manhattan. Sylvia’s ex-husband may have lost her life savings, but Sylvia and Evie are scrappy and determined, unopposed to pawning jewelry and roughing it in tiny apartments.

Story
Los Angeles, 1920s: Socialite Mirielle West's days are crowded with shopping, luncheons, and prepping for the myriad glittering parties she attends with her actor husband, Charlie. She's been too busy to even notice the small patch of pale skin on the back of her hand. Other than an occasional overindulgence in gin and champagne, which helps to numb the pain of recent tragedy, Mirielle is the picture of health. But her doctor insists on more tests, and Mirielle reluctantly agrees. The diagnosis - leprosy - is devastating and unthinkable.

Excellent Book
This woman is real, she decisive, strong. The story moved because it didn't go back and forth like most women characters are written. It was excellent!

Pure Emotion
This was a beautiful story full of ups and downs, heartbreak and pure emotion. You could really put yourself in the character’s shoes. The ending was complete which made it that much more enjoyable. The storyline was predictable at times and too detailed at others but I enjoyed the writing overall. Great read for someone who has experienced their share of turbulent love.

Wanted it to end already
I’ve read other books by Lisa Barr but I did not enjoy this one. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. Very little dialogue between the characters but long periods of describing one’s feelings and reminiscing. Oy, enough already of how hurt you are that your husband cheated and enough about how your grown daughter is the enter if your world. There are a few times when I fast-forward 30-60 seconds and it’s still talking about the same ‘feelings’. I’ll give Lisa Barr another chance but this book was difficult to get through.

Improved Towards the End
While I was unable to identify or feel empathy for the characters, the story rallied towards the end. I nearly quit listening multiple times, as the beginning was inordinately bogged down in too many trite situations, with many implausible circumstances and actions, considering that I lived in France for a time.
The writing and narration were fine, and I liked the glimpses of the art world and the French settings in the book.

Wait for It!
The beginning is trite but get through it. When protagonist gets to France and then South France, it gets really fun.

Born in the ‘70’s?
I saw that this book was added to the good reads list of what women born in the 70’s was reading and I immediately felt that I was not the target audience for this book. I was an out of place reader born a decade too late for this book to hit home with. It just wasn’t a story I could connect with, even the tone of the writer and performance of the voice actor felt misplaced as I went through the book.

Hard in the ears
The story was good even though predictable. There are so many French characters in the story, it would have been a better experience had the narrator had a French accent. The accent in the narration was unrecognizable and it ruined the experience.

I think it was well written and well performed but the whole lesbian gay let’s all be gay thing is too much

SOPHIE BLOOM IS TRULY UNBREAKABLE!!
I enjoyed this story. Sophie is completely devestated when she discovers her husband's infidelity. She has to figure out how to put her life back together. There are some racy moments in the story, but overall a good story.
