Publisher's summary

Jojo Harvey is a literary agent whose star is on the rise. In love with both her married boss and her burgeoning career, not much distracts her. Until she finds herself representing two women who used to be best friends. Used to be. One of them, Gemma, has suddenly found herself from a broken home at the age of 32. Meanwhile, Lily, the woman Gemma has always blamed for stealing her one chance of happiness, is enjoying the overnight success of her debut novel. Set in the world of publishing, The Other Side of the Story is about love, loyalty, glass ceilings and survival tactics - and what to do when you get your chance for revenge.

Real characters and real lives.

Loved this story. I was totally immersed in each persons life and kept jumping ship as far as who’s side I was on. Of course there were no sides and just real life with all it’s warts and silk purses. Great writing. Fabulous narration.

Absolutely Fantastic

I loved this story. The Dublin mother & father were so very real. It was a very predictable plot but just the same, it was a pleasure to listen to. I couldn't wait to listen to it but I never wanted it to end.

Confusing

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Someone who has plenty of time to read might find this book enjoyable, I found it confusing the way it jumped around from person to person. I read while I'm on public transport and have to stop when I get to my destination and quite often found it hard to pick up again. If I just had time to sit and read at my leisure I may have been able to follow more easily.

What do you think your next listen will be?

I've just ordered a Bryce Courtney book - Fortune Cookie.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Gerri Halligan?

Yes I would, I didn't have a problem with the narration.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Not really, it was quite predictable. Everyone fitted into their slots at the end a little too tidily.

Any additional comments?

I have read several Marian Keyes books and have enjoyed them and will try her again.
