Who Do You Love

A Novel

De: Jennifer Weiner

Narrado por: Sarah Steele, JD Jackson

From the "hilarious, heartbreaking, and insightful" (The Miami Herald) best-selling author Jennifer Weiner comes a sweeping, modern-day fairy tale about first romance and lasting love.

Rachel Blum and Andy Landis are eight years old when they meet late one night in an ER waiting room. Born with a congenital heart defect, Rachel is a veteran of hospitals, and she's intrigued by the boy who shows up all alone with a broken arm. He tells her his name. She tells him a story. After Andy's taken back to the emergency room and Rachel's sent back to her bed, they think they'll never see each other again.

Rachel, the beloved, popular, and protected daughter of two doting parents, grows up wanting for nothing in a fancy Florida suburb. Andy grows up poor in Philadelphia with a single mom and a rare talent that will let him become one of the best runners of his generation.

Over the course of three decades, through high school and college, marriages and divorces, from the pinnacles of victory and the heartbreak of defeat, Andy and Rachel will find each other again and again until they are finally given a chance to decide whether love can surmount difference and distance and if they've been running toward each other all along.

With honesty, wit, and clear-eyed observations about men and women, love and fate, and the truth about happy endings, Jennifer Weiner delivers two of her most memorable characters and a love story you'll never forget.

So much character development, then...

So much character development, then felt like a very quick ending. Narration was just not my style...not awful, but I noticed it even after the first few hours, which is unusual. Usually I adjust quickly.

Meh, Leaves Something to Be Desired

This book was okay, but not something I was anxious to get back to each day. The female narrator was not very good; the male narrator was a bit better. If you like an average story about the ups and downs of everyday life, you'll think this is fine or maybe even good. For me, it took a long time to get to an abrupt and so-so payoff.

Another good read/listen from Jennifer

I don't know why some ppl are criticizing this book. I have always enjoyed J. W.'s books and this novel is just as good, if not better, as her previous publications. She has the uncanny ability to make a woman's often neurotic thoughts and habits not only hysterical but oddly therapeutic. Her clever use of products we all just had to have (think fruit-scented lipgloss) never fails to put a smile on my face. I think her most recent books combine her great sense of nostalgic humor with more mature story lines and plots. The writer of "Good in bed" is not only writing great chic books but has shown us that adult life can be both funny and serious. I loved how we really got to know the male character (Andy) in this novel. Oftentimes we love female writers because they remind us that many of us females tend to grow out of our self-centered early years and mature into caring, well-balanced women. I think the interest in how men might look at relationships/life-in-general shows how we maturing women have finally grown up enough to really care about what the other side might be feeling.

Decent but predictable

I read all of this author's books, but this one wasn't my favorite. Decent characters, but predictable plot.

loved it!

absolutely fell in love with the characters! sad that it is over! give more please!

such a beautiful story

this was such a beautiful story of love, hope, loss and more. highly recommend this story

Nice listen

This book started slow for me. In fact I started it and then put it aside for a number of months. Going back to it, I started to be drawn into the story as it passes between the two voices of Rachel and Andy.

It wasn't long before I had trouble stopping. My advice, give yourself a chanc to become engag d in the story. It won't take long!

loved it fast easy thru the time love story

fast easy love story i really enjoyed it. the verbal tones took 1st few passages to get use to but after that loved it. worth the money

Love!

At first I wasn’t sure I could listen to the narrator’s voice. However, it didn’t take long for the characters to come alive in my mind. Very much enjoyed storyline and characters. Very well written, found myself looking forward to listening to more and more.

Men are trash, but some are redeemable

This isn’t a constantly squishy fall in love book, my heart was sad for a good majority of it, but I loved the end. I wish it had been a little more drawn out or even maybe a forward, but all in all, I loved it.
