Publisher's summary

Sisterhood in all its drama, hilarity, and tears is at the heart of New York Times best-selling author Kristan Higgins' thoroughly captivating new novel, featuring the wit and romance that listeners have come to expect from the much-loved creator of the Blue Heron series.

Wedding-dress designer Jenny Tate understands the happily ever after business, yet somehow she's still involved in her ex-husband's life. In fact Owen's new wife may - inexplicably - be Jenny's new best friend. Sensing this, well, relationship isn't helping her move on, Jenny trades the Manhattan skyline for her hometown up the Hudson, where she'll be able to bask in her sister Rachel's picture-perfect family life...and hopefully make one of her own.

Her timing couldn't be more perfect, since Rachel will need her younger sister. Her idyllic marriage has just fallen to pieces in spectacular fashion after she discovers her husband sexting with one of his colleagues. Second chances aren't in Rachel's nature, but the desire for an intact family has her rethinking her stance on adultery, much to Jenny's surprise. Rachel points to their parents' "perfect" marriage as a shining example. But to protect her sister, Jenny may have to tarnish that memory - and their relationship - and reveal a secret about their family she's been keeping since childhood.

During this summer of secrets and lies, temptation and revelation, Jenny and Rachel will rely on each other to find the humor in their personal catastrophes, the joy in their triumphs...and the strength to keep hanging on.

Highly recommend this book!

Would you consider the audio edition of If You Only Knew to be better than the print version?

Since I only do audio I can't really compare it to an actual book. The performance of the two main characters was amazing though. I especially enjoyed the quick wit read of Jenny's voice. The actresses did a outstanding job! And I do consider them actresses and not just readers of a story. :-)

Which scene was your favorite?

I really enjoyed when Kimbers mom defended her daughter to the soon to be new horrible mother in law. I also enjoyed the sweet interaction between Jenny and Evander, the piano student.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did laugh OUT LOUD as well as shed a few tears with this book. The story lines felt very real. And I found myself thinking it was going to go in a different direction and then it would surprise me.

Soooo Good!

I began listening to Kristan Higgins because of the narrator, Xe Sands. Story is great as well as the narrators! Hated when it was over!

Never Say Never? I'm Saying NEVER!

Where does If You Only Knew rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It was good, but not as believable as some.

If you’ve listened to books by Kristan Higgins before, how does this one compare?

I wasn't crazy about some of it, and really like other parts.

Have you listened to any of Xe Sands and Amy Rubinate ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. Good narration by both.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I wanted to know what would happen next.

Any additional comments?

I liked the book but hated parts of it. Some of it was just so unbelievable. For example, who the hell would be besties with an ex husband and his new wife? Nobody but a sister wife...........all in all the audio book was entertaining, but more than anything, it makes you mad.

Fantastic narration, well-rounded characters...

I really enjoyed the dual narration in this story. It really helped structure the stories of the two sisters. I have been reading Kristan's books for a while now and while she has always been good, this book is on a whole other level. Her best story-telling to date.

50/50 for Readers

The story was warm and well written. It was very enjoyable. The only problem was the reader who read the part of Rachel. Her voice sounded like a robot. It was hard to listen to.

Needs another chapter

I loved the story, but wanted it wrapped up a little more. I struggled to get past Rachel's voice (very irritating). Loved Jenny and Leo.
