About this listen

A novel for anyone who has loved and lost and lived to tell the tale.

As a young woman boxes up her ex-boyfriend's belongings and prepares to see him one last time, she wonders where it all went wrong and whether it was ever right to begin with. Burdened with a broken heart, she asks herself the age-old question...is love really worth it?

Out of Love is a bittersweet romance told in reverse. Beginning at the end of a relationship, each chapter takes us further back in time, weaving together an already unravelled tapestry, from tragic break-up to magical first kiss. In this dazzling debut, Hazel Hayes performs a post-mortem on love, tenderly but unapologetically exploring every angle, from the heights of joy to the depths of grief, and all the madness and mundanity in between. This is a modern story with the heart of a classic: truthful, tragic and ultimately full of hope.

Critic reviews

"I fell in love with this book. The writing was good enough to make me forget I had a phone, put it that way." (Aisling Bea)

Great read, if you’re a fan of Hazel you will not be disappointed. This book is just as you’d expect - witty, realist, wry, heartbreaking and heartwarming. If this book is not made into a film I will be shocked.

Really loved this it really made me laugh a lot but it was also really heart wrenching as you get to understand what this couple went through and was relatable in terms of relationship breakups etc. I also love the fact that it’s read by the author. Really loved it. Thank you hazel!

This story is written absolutely beautifully. A love story written in reverse is such an interesting way to delve into the ways in wich personal relationships can affect your life. I really enjoyed listening to it. Having watched Hazels youtube for many years, hearing her read her own work was amazing.

An intimate and beautiful exploration of human nature and relationships. A very impressive work and I really hope to see more from this author in the future. So many relatable, keenly observant truths, gorgeously put; a real joy of a read, despite the deep and sometimes depressing subject matter, it’s all dealt with gently yet with an expertly beautiful command of language that really blew me away. You can sense a whole lot of thought, work and care went into this delight of a novel, I can very much recommend.

Phenomenal
