Story
Charlotte has spent her 20s adrift, searching for a spark to jump-start her life and give her a sense of purpose. She’s had as many jobs as she’s had bad relationships, and now she’s feeling especially lost in her less-than-glamorous gig at a pie-and-fry joint in Los Angeles, where the uniforms are bad and the tips are even worse. Then she collides - literally - with Adam, an intriguing, handsome, and mysterious painter.

Crystal learned long ago that love brings only pain. Feeling nothing at all is far better than being hurt again. She guards her wounded heart behind a hard exterior and carries within her a deep mistrust of men, who, in her experience, have only ever used and taken. Then Gabriel Dalton walks into her life. Despite the terrible darkness of his past, there's an undeniable goodness in him. And even though she knows the cost, Crystal finds herself drawn to Gabriel.

Story
They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart. Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to live without.

Story
Nora Stephens' life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina, for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away.

Am I friends with JP Cane? Ha! That's laughable. Besides the fact that he’s adopted some far-fetched notion from the movie When Harry Met Sally that says men and women can't be friends and work together, it’s safe to say we're not friends. He's annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has made an art out of poking all my hot buttons...multiple times a day. So you can imagine how disgruntled I am when I not only have to fly to San Francisco with him for work, but stay in the same penthouse. Yup, we're sharing the same air, 24-7. We're talking full-fledged working roommates.

I'd say I'm down on my luck, but that's an understatement. I'm flat on my ass. Homeless, hungry, and in hiding with my little sister at the age of 21, I've never been so desperate. I've hit rock bottom when I get an offer I can't refuse. Sell my body to save my sister? There's nothing I won't do to keep her safe. I make the rules, and I'm not afraid to defend myself if this rich guy crosses the line. But once I see beneath his cold, calculating façade, the lines aren't so clear anymore.

Thea Landry has always known her place in modern-day society. It's somewhere just above the trash can her mother dumped her in as a newborn, but below the class where much comes easy. With her tattered shoes and bargain-bin clothes, her life has never been full of glamour. So when a rich and charismatic man takes interest, she doesn't fool herself into thinking their encounter is anything more than a one-night stand. Months later, she's kicking herself for not getting his phone number. Or his last name. She's given up hope of seeing him ever again.

Publisher's Summary
To the Green-Eyed Lovebird:
We met 15 years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House.
You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more.
We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.
Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding....

Good beach book
I really liked this Audible because it was a story about serious people with career choices that complicated their lives. I’ve listened to a few rom/coms lately with the same formulas; boy and girl hate each other but ultimately fall head over heels in love. This one’s different and the actors who read the parts were very good. I recommend it.

Favorite Book of Quarantine!!
I couldn’t put it down! The narration is amazing and honestly might be one of the main reasons I loved it so much. It switches between a male and female speaker for each chapter from Matt and Grace’s viewpoints.
The characters are so sweet and the story is relatable to any first love story. Great read with some unexpected twists. Highly recommend!

Good story
I enjoyed this story. Really loved the characters and easy listen. However, female reader was WAY too dramatic! She really needs to tone down her reading style. I would have loved the audio more if she wasn’t so dramatic. I would still recommend.

PHENOMENAL STORYLINE
The writing of this book was absolutely touching. I fell in love with the character Matt from the way they described him, patient, understanding, caring and charming. Who could not after hearing the story? I loved how the story started in the present, then back to the past and back again to the present. It makes the reader understand the little details from their history together. My absolute favorite character ended up being Dan because of the unconditional care & love he provided for Grace during the difficult period she had to live in. (Trying to not spoil the story) Unfortunately after reading this story I now believe in soulmates more than ever.. haha. In conclusion I really enjoyed everything about this book! However, do keep in mind it’s quite short so don’t rush it :)

Wanting a genuinely funny and feel-good story? THIS IS IT!
Such a fun, hilarious love story to listen to. It’s an easy listen and has an easy plot to follow. Not necessarily entirely predictable either, shockingly! I couldn’t help but laugh along with the characters at times. The epitome of some of the best relationships start as friends. I would definitely recommend!

One for cheesy romance
I can understand the good reviews as it is great within it's setting. I think I wasn't critical about discerning recommendations though as it wasn't for me and my tastes. The performance was good though having the story narrated from both sides helped bring it to life more. Overall I understand the high reviews and if you are looking a book that is easy going and cute romantic grown up fairytale this is an easy day/weekend read/listen.
