About this listen

NOW A HIT NETFLIX MOVIE • The bestselling international sensation and viral TikTok phenomenon—a dark, sexy, haunting novel of two aching young adults who are taken in by the same family and forced to reckon with a destructive love that could be the undoing of them both

“Ready for the next Twilight?”—People

Growing up in a ghastly orphanage run by an abusive matron, Nica coped in the only way she could—by retreating to her imagination, where she lived out fantastical stories, especially about the Tearsmith, the man who makes tears, a terrifying figure who forges all the fears that dwell in people’s hearts.

When she’s finally taken in by an adoptive family at seventeen, Nica thinks she’s leaving the group home, its torments, and her prison of otherworldly tales behind her. That is, until Rigela young man raised from birth in the same dreadful orphanagejoins her new family.

Rigel is as mesmerizingly handsome as he is troubled, and he and Nica have a long history of distrust and hostility. But as they come to live together again under one roof, the deep shared trauma of surviving such vicious circumstances sparks something magical, and Nica begins to fall for Rigel’s forbidden love.

Before any relationship can become reality, though, they’ll have to face the darkness of their past . . . and the dangerous stakes of pursuing a future together.

The best

Where has this book been? It was one of the best I’ve listened to in a very long time. It took several days to get through, but I never felt like any part was repetitive. The narrator’s Rigel voice was perfect, but it worked.

The dynamic/relationship

Very good book, gave me way more closure than the movie did and it made me feel happy despite everything they had going on every 5 mins

A Hauntingly Beautiful Story

A beautiful story, well written. I watched the netflix version and it left so many details out I had to read/listen to the book. It was hauntingly beautiful.

The Tearsmith

This book was pretty good. It was slow to get started but had a lot of depth and feeling behind it. Nica and Rigel's went through so much and their love story was well worth it.
I really enjoyed the narrator. she did a great job and had a great reading voice. I plan on looking for more titles narrated by her in the future.

Lovely Story

I really Enjoyed the Story is a Teens Love, the tearsmith is quite a character and I loved how all emotions are so wide and ambiguous for all kinds of feelings, the lecture and perfomance was one pf my favorites, I feel if I had read the book instead, never have I ever would reach the depth of each character

Still not sure what a "tearsmith" is...

"Matilda" meets "Twilight" with a dash of "Beauty and the Beast," sans the fantasy element. Although many cliches abounded in this overrought and overly emotional tale, I enjoyed it nevertheless. Rigel's voice was just over the top and ridiculous though.
