By: Harlan Coben

Publisher's summary

Six years have passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd.

But six years haven’t come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd’s obituary, he can’t keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd’s wife he’s hoping for...but she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she’s been married to Todd for almost two decades, and with that fact, everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life - a time he has never gotten over - is turned completely inside out.

As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can’t be found or don’t remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. Jake’s search for the woman who broke his heart, who lied to him, soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based on a carefully constructed fiction.

Harlan Coben once again delivers a shocking novel that deftly explores the power of past love and the secrets and lies that such love can hide.

Life ever after

What made the experience of listening to Six Years the most enjoyable?

This is just the 2nd novel of Harlan Coben that I have finished and I have come to like his convoluted plot and poetic style. The opening pages are somewhat disconnected and as you breeze through the half of the book, the suspense builds up, ultimately amusing you with an unexpected but happy ending.

It is worth the time listening to his books, much more so when Scott Brick reads them for us. He too is in my topnotch narrators.

Great book!

Typical Harlan, kept me very engaged and wondering what was next!, Scott Brick, as always is stellar!

Captivating Story!

I would definitely listen to this story again. It was an amazing story. I was hooked from the very beginning.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Six Years?

The moment the main character finally accomplished what he had set out to do.

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

Mr. Brick's performance was simply amazing. His voice, the emotion the intensity...it was what helped the story come to life.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The moment when even the main character's best friend was connected to all of the drama.

Believable? Maybe, but Jake has really bad luck

There is a hint at the beginning of the book that tells you what is going to happen, but I don't catch these things very often. There are so many things that Jake has to do in order to get his love back. She is not even a big part of the story. She is not a fully developed character. The twists were not predictable to me and I enjoyed each one. Jake is a good guy, caught up in a really deep secret and no one knows the answer.

good idea but not enough for full book.

It became repetitious and slow. I got tired of hearing how much he loved her and how many folks would sacrifice everything for their loved ones.

Never boring.

Second time reading/listening to this book. Still suspenseful. I wonder about Shanta at the end. I could see Jennifer Aniston playing Natalie on TV. Benedict would definitely need to be Jaleel White. I love Coben. I could read his grocery list.
