About this listen

Meet Eliza Bloom. She likes to live life by the rules: long, blue skirt on Thursdays; dinner with mother on Fridays; and if someone tells you a Valentine should be anonymous, give your new husband a blank card. Nothing is out of place in her ordered life....

But last night, her teenage daughter found something in a hidden shoebox that no one was supposed to see and started asking questions...questions that might just change everything in Eliza’s carefully constructed world.

Join Eliza as she tells you how to run away with the love of your life (quite fast actually, as your family are coming after you), how to make your grandfather happy (this might involve a little bit of lying), how to let someone you love go (actually, this never gets easier), and how (now, this is a bad idea) to keep secrets from your new husband.

The only way to truly live is to learn how to open your heart.

An uplifting and heartbreaking novel about finding yourself, perfect for fans of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, The Keeper of Lost Things, and The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry.

Loved this so much!

It's so difficult to find a book with a storyline that hasn't been done to death. After a spell of audiobooks I returned without getting past the first chapter or two I happened upon this and I am SO glad. Absolutely loved every minute of it, it's made the last two days of lockdown enjoyable!

Sad, funny, interesting and so many other words describe this book. Definitely recommend and I'll be looking out for more by the author and the narrator (who was just fantastic!)

Simply Sweet

I feel as though I've flown through this book. It's an interesting family dynamic and not what I was expecting. It's opened my eyes to another culture (minimally of course) but brilliantly. It goes to show there are all types of people in the world and it's just amazing. The story flows nicely and you really feel what the characters are going through.

lovely story with good narration.

Beth Miller has really captured what it means to move between 2 completely different social worlds- orthodox Judaism and 'the real world' This a talented writer with real heart and I look forward to her next novel.

Partly good. partly awful

I liked the concept of this book and the detail around the Orthodox Jewish liftstyle. However Elaza's relationship with Alex was awful. The bits about 'the real world' were unrealistic and felt very flat. Alex was incredibly controlling and it felt wrong that he got her to do things she wasn't comfortable with, especially as the book portrayed that his behaviour was acceptable!
