Nostalgic · Intimate · Bittersweet · Romantic · Emotional

“A beautifully observed, tender love story with characters you really care about… a bit like Normal People. I devoured it.”―Jojo Moyes, New York Times bestselling author of Someone Else's Shoes

“A gorgeous story of first love, loss, and the people who stick to your ribs... Beautiful, poignant, and heart-wrenching in the best way possible.”―Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After

For fans of Netflix’s ONE DAY, a poignant and emotional will they/won't they story that cleverly captures both the thrill and trepidation of first love

This is the story of Will and Rosie. The two are opposites in every way and yet they fall for each other as teenagers; nineties music, sideways glances, sunsets and bonfires and talking late into the night. It’s palpable, inevitable: they’re on the precipice of starting something wonderful. Until one day, tragedy strikes, and any possibility of being together seems to shatter.

But time and again, Rosie and Will find their way back to each other. Though the years pass, they cannot quite let go of what might have been.

Talking at Night tells a story of sudden connections, missed opportunities, the many loves we have over a lifetime--and the one that keeps us coming back, again and again, for more.

Wish author had more books I could read

Story and narration great. I never get through a book at “normal speed” but I did this one and loved every minute.

Achingly Beautiful Love Story

A striking and real story of two hearts bonded by tragedy and life’s unjust and unwanted deliveries. A chest-squeezing read filled with love. My favorite.

loved!

Loved every minute of this story, wish it could have gone on even longer! Heartbreaking, beautiful and very well written.

Good story, just too drawn out

Liked the characters and storyline but just found it repetitive and a bit slow, an easy listen though.

Love beyond the ages

Claire’s writing is unmatched. Each scene layers the elements surrounding the characters, their motivations and emotions, and folds it into a perfectly assembled understanding of both Rosie and Will - together and independently. Emma’s narration adds a softness to the delicate words and tenderness of this beautifully written love story. A mix of heartbreak and unwavering love you don’t want to miss.

GREAT!

Great characters and color details - narrator held me close. I miss everyone in this book already.

Amazing and wonderfully narrated

I loved this story. She writes beautifully and I fell in love with the characters. I cannot wait for another book by this author.

Good storyline

This isn’t my typical genre, but I still enjoyed it though it didn’t fully keep my attention. I think that’s mostly because it wasn’t fast paced like I’m used to. The reading of the book is very monotoned but I think that fits with the overall tone of the book.

Good overall

Overall I liked this book but the back and forth of the relationship between Rosie and Will got a bit redundant. I stopped cheering for them at one point bc the breakups and reconnecting got a bit overdone. I also had to speed up the audio on the app bc the reader spoke way too slowly. Easy listen though.

Stunning Narration

I fell in love with this book. What a beautiful, poetic story that is read perfectly. This will be a re-read for me for sure!
