About this listen

The epic love story of the summer.

Whitman 'Win' Tagore and Leo Milanowski are the greatest love story of our time. International movie star meets the beautiful son of a millionaire. Their kisses write headlines, and their fights break the internet. Nobody needs to know it's not real.

Win knows that Hollywood demands perfection - especially from a woman of colour.

Leo just wants to enjoy life and shift press attention away from his dysfunctional family.

Together they control the narrative.

Except this time, on the shores of Saint-Tropez, Leo is hiding a secret that is about to send Win's world spinning. Now everyone's dream couple must confront the messy reality of their relationship. Just as they're starting to realise that they might actually be falling in love....

The View Was Exhausting is a bold, swoon-worthy and utterly modern debut novel about truth, fame and privilege - and how we love now.

Fabulous!

I loved this book!
It’s full of Hollywood glamour and behind the scenes looks at a British-Indian actress, her struggles for her art and with her fame, and her boyfriend-for-show.
I felt like I was in Win’s world, it was so immersive!
I listened to it as an audiobook via Audible, the narration was excellent and kept me in the story the whole time.
I really enjoyed it!

Enjoyed more than expected

A feel-good, not too serious, story. I enjoyed it- the glam of certain parts of their lives but also the perspective of fame I’ve not considered hugely before. Would recommend.
