Don't know how true to genre listings you're trying to be, but I'd label this as "women's fiction" rather than "chick lit". Chick lit tends to be 20-something young women in urban settings, dealing with living on relatively low starting salaries, men, etc. (Think Bridget Jones).

Really? I've never heard that. I don't read "chick lit", though.

I only read a couple and decided they weren't for me. A lot of young-woman angst about dating and shoes.

Chick Lit definition from Wikipedia:
Spoiler:

Chick lit or chick literature is genre fiction, which "consists of heroine-centered narratives that focus on the trials and tribulations of their individual protagonists". The genre often addresses issues of modern womanhood – from romantic relationships to female friendships to matters in the workplace – in humorous and lighthearted ways. At its onset, chick lit's protagonists tended to be "single, white, heterosexual, British and American women in their late twenties and early thirties, living in metropolitan areas". The genre became popular in the late 1990s, with chick lit titles topping bestseller lists and the creation of imprints devoted entirely to chick lit. Chick lit critics generally agree that British author Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary (1996) is the "ur-text" of chick lit.


Women's fiction descriptions from Wikipedia:
Spoiler:

The Romance Writers of America organization defines women's fiction as, "a commercial novel about a woman on the brink of life change and personal growth. Her journey details emotional reflection and action that transforms her and her relationships with others, and includes a hopeful/upbeat ending with regard to her romantic relationship."

At the Women's Fiction Writers Association women’s fiction is described as a story where the plot is driven by the main character’s emotional journey. Women’s Fiction includes layered stories about one or several characters, often multi-generational that tackles an adult character’s struggle with world issues resulting in emotional growth. It may include elements of mystery, fantasy, romance or other subgenres, but is not driven by these elements. The writing is high quality and accessible. Upmarket fiction often falls in this category, and is appropriate for book clubs.

I've suddenly been seeing a new term: grip lit. I hate the term (grip as in gripping), but it seems to be the genre a great deal of my reading falls into: what I think of as psychological suspense or domestic thrillers--books by women like Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins, Erin Kelly, Clare Mackintosh, Alex Marwood. Who invents this terminology, anyway?

It's Audible's classification. I went with it.

Thanks for posting it, but it's currently listed. You can find a current listing of all free Audible titles (that we're aware of) by going to the first post in this thread. Titles are grouped by recording length.

I have listened to the U.S. version of this one. I do not recommend it, even at the reduced price. It took way too long to get where it was going, and when it got there, it wasn't worth the trip.
