About this listen

Jojo Harvey is a literary agent whose star is on the rise. In love with both her married boss and her burgeoning career, not much distracts her. Until she finds herself representing two women who used to be best friends. Used to be. One of them, Gemma, has suddenly found herself from a broken home at the age of 32. Meanwhile, Lily, the woman Gemma has always blamed for stealing her one chance of happiness, is enjoying the overnight success of her debut novel. Set in the world of publishing, The Other Side of the Story is about love, loyalty, glass ceilings and survival tactics - and what to do when you get your chance for revenge.©2004 W F Howes Ltd (P)2004 W F Howes Ltd Contemporary Contemporary Romance Family Life Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Romance Romantic Comedy Women's Fiction Funny Witty Comedy Feel-Good

The other side of the story. Wow!

I so enjoyed this book. At first I was totally on Jemma’s side and wondered how the author would make Lily someone to even like. But she did. And Jojo, what a star. Loved the whole thing and highly recommend it.

I love this author and this did not disappoint

Despite the length of the book I was sorry when it ended, I was engaged to the very last word and even woke up this morning still thinking about it. I won't spoil the plot ( I hate it when people do that as I am waiting for the bit they shared instead of concentrating on the bit I am listening too) Its well worth the time to listen too.

Excellent book

When it gets into it's swing it is a great book. I think it need to change between the 3 characters more often as I forgot the bit players in each side. Not quite enough explanation to how each part got to their end, the epilogue felt rushed. But all in all a good book to listen to and apart from the odd wavering accent here and there, it was well read.

Good long read/listen

This story was so long & I nearly gave up several times but I’m glad I didn’t. Eventually the three main characters came together but it took a long time to get there. The narration was very good

Food little bedtime audio book

I enjoyed this light. Easy to read/listen to.
Occasionally a little confusing with swapping back and forth between the characters but overall light and enjoyable.
Reader is one of my favourites as is the authorZ the Walsh family books started me on this author and this has a similar humour and character familiarisation so if you liked any of her others you’ll probably enjoy this x

Loved it!

I loved this from the first chapter. the characters were relatable and strangely likeable. the only issue was the strange accents but I could get passed that as I was invested!

Chasing rainbows

I nearly gave up in the beginning as the terrible jojo-American accent almost put me off. But as usual the story drew me in and I no longer heard it after a while. Another MK to cherish.

As ever a laugh out loud Irish beaut of a story, absolutely love Marian Keyes and my only complaint is that it finished
