This month’s standout listen is Bittersweet by Hattie Williams. Tender, insightful and beautifully narrated, it’s a heartfelt exploration of life’s contradictions: loss and love, grief and growth, memory and moving on.

A firm favourite among early listeners, Bittersweet is one of those rare stories that feels both emotionally grounded and quietly uplifting. If you’ve been looking for a reflective audiobook to savour, this is the one to add to your queue.

For fans of Rachel Joyce, Jojo Moyes and Mike Gayle, this is a perfect pick: gentle, wise and full of heart.

Don’t just take our word for it:

“I inhaled this novel. Utterly believable, immersive and heartfelt. I loved it.”

“A timeless tragedy, a story of the intricacies and illusions of true love.”
