About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Will and Rosie meet as teenagers. They're opposites in every way, but over secret walks home and late-night phone calls they become closer, destined to be one another's great love story.

Until, one day, tragedy strikes and any possibility of them being together shatters.

But that tragedy - and their history - is what will connect them forever...

Critic Reviews

Deeply romantic . . . Reminded me of just how all-consuming and transformative first love can be. The more I read, the more I was completely immersed in the story of Rosie and Will and how life, and tragedy, conspire to keep them apart (LAURA BARNETT, author of THE VERSIONS OF US)
The story of Will and Rosie is a classic love story in every sense, and yet, in Claire Daverley's hands, it felt entirely new. The characters are completely alive from the very first page, and how I rooted for them! Talking at Night could be titled Reading at Night, because I was awake through the night, turning these pages (MARY BETH KEANE, author of ASK AGAIN, YES)
Quietly devastating, entirely beautiful, bruising and hopeful. In a world of compromise, Claire Daverley has created a perfect thing. Talking at Night takes its place amongst my all time favourites. I implore you to read it. I'll never forget it (CHRIS WHITAKER, author of WE BEGIN AT THE END)

Well-written prose but severely underdeveloped MCs

I must admit I only completed this book because of the utterly charming narration by Emma Appleton. She helped ease my annoyance at the inane behavior of our rather frustrating main characters.

What starts off as a star-crossed love story with believable hurdles and unfortunate complications gradually devolves into a dour situationship fueled by the absurd choices made repeatedly by Rosie, the female protagonist. The male lead, Will, is content being her knight in shining armor whenever Rosie needs him while silently pining for her every time she decides to up and leave him for no good reason.

See, I wanted our MCs to be complex and messy but captivating, you know? Unfortunately, they just turned out to be bland and kind of pathetic. Frankly, I was rooting for them to walk away from each other for good.
