Publisher's Summary:
Two rambunctious, romantic flameouts. One boring wedding. One heated embrace in a quiet coatroom. This is not exactly the recipe for true love. John and Janes lusty encounter at a friends wedding isnt really the beginning of anything with any weight to it; even they know that. When they manage to pull back, it occurs to them that they might start this whole thing over properly. They might try getting to know one another first, through letters.
What follows is a series of traded confessionsof their messy histories, their past errors, their big loves, their flaws, and their passions. Each love affair, confessed as honestly as possible, reveals the ways in which Jane and John have grown and changed (or not changed) over the yearsthe people theyve hurt, the ones still bruised, the ones who bruised them. Where all of this soul-baring will take them is the burning question behind every lettera question that can only be answered when they meet again, finally, in the flesh.
Critic Reviews:
The constant mix of sweet and sour, of heart-swelling romance and smart-ass banter isterrifically engaging. (Entertainment Weekly)
Members Reviews:
Wonderful "two sides of the coin" book
I always enjoy reading good fiction, but in all truthfulness, it's really difficult to find authors (or novels for that matter) that can speak loud and clear to both men and women about love, or at least their perception of it, without forgetting about the other sex's take on the matter. Listening to this amazing audiobook has given me hope that it' is completely possible to find such literary works. Of course, I know this was a colaboration between two amazing writers and two very talented narrators, but it's possible, and it's amazing! It was a real joy to listen (not that their confessions didn't make me sad or worried, or a bit scared for our heroes' sanity), buy it was enjoyable non the less. Being a cynic on the outside/hopeless sensitive on the inside (as I think Jane herself described John and her's type), I'm often drawn to romance novels/chick lit in the hopes of finding something deep enough to make me believe for a split second I wasn't watching a Disney Princess's story for the gazillionth time, but I often finish feeling a bit... disappointed and ashamed to admit to anyone else but my closest friends, who know I'm indeed a romantic, that I read or listened to a certain "modern fairytale-like book". Which Brings Me to You is the kind of novel that you want to go and tell your most manly buddies/boyfriends/husbands to go listen to, because I'm pretty sure they'll like it, if not for the love story (or stories) at least for the hot scenes! It's the kind of book you like to brag about reading/listenong to before it became worldwide famous. It's that good.
Can't stop praising Kirby and Reneé for the amazing voice work, and of course the two amazingly talented writers who came up with such a clever way to take us throught these two stragers lives and loves. And, *spoiler alert*...........
