A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • Longlisted for the Massachusetts Book Award

“An effervescent debut chock full of Austenian nods. Swoonworthy!” —Sarah McCoy, New York Times bestselling author of Mustique Island

“All That Life Can Afford is about love, ambition, and the cost of belonging, and I cannot stop thinking about it.” —Reese Witherspoon

A young American woman navigates class, lies, and love amid London’s jet-set elite.

I would arrive, blank like a sheet of notebook paper, and write myself new.

Anna first fell in love with London at her hometown library—its Jane Austen balls a far cry from her life of food stamps and hand-me-downs. But when she finally arrives after college, the real London is a moldy flat and the same paycheck-to-paycheck grind—that fairy-tale life still out of reach.

Then Anna meets the Wilders, who fly her to Saint-Tropez to tutor their teenage daughter. Swept up by the sphinxlike elder sister, Anna soon finds herself plunged into a heady whirlpool of parties and excess, a place where confidence is a birthright. There she meets two handsome young men—one who wants to whisk her into his world in a chauffeured car, the other who sees through Anna’s struggle to outrun her past. It’s like she’s stepped into the pages of a glittering new novel, but what will it cost her to play the part?

Sparkling with intelligence and insight, All That Life Can Afford peels back the glossy layers of class and privilege, exploring what it means to create a new life for yourself that still honors the one you’ve left behind. Coming of Age Literary Fiction Women's Fiction England Genre Fiction

I’m sure this would have been a great read. But unfortunately not a great listen. The narrator’s over acting distracted from the book so much that I had to fast forward at times. It was so cringe. I’m so sorry to say.

Over Acting in Narration

The story was ok but very predictable. Predictable is not always a major flaw, but it has to be compensated for with great characters, wit and/or depth. This book didn’t have any of that for me. The narrator also hit the emotion a bit too hard for my tastes.
