Jojo Moyes writes novels that sit right at the intersection of romance and emotional devastation, and that combination hits differently in audio form. Her stories depend so much on voice and pacing, and a good narrator can make you feel the weight of every quietly heartbreaking moment in ways the page sometimes holds back.

If you loved “Me before you” and want that same gutted-but-grateful feeling, her backlist is deep and rewarding. Listeners who cry on public transport will feel very at home here.
