What was meant to be a fun, unserious rom-com turned out to be a fun, unserious rom-com. audiobooked this one, which made listening to a cynical audiobook narrator all the more fun—plus, Whelan’s narration of the characters was quite enjoyable! I love when an author narrates their own work.
After an accident that forced Sewanee to stop acting, she did the next best thing: audiobook narration. What she didn’t love was narrating romance, because Happily Ever After™️ doesn’t actually exist. But when the circumstances are right, aka she’s the only one a late author requests (and the check is big enough), she dips her toes back into the genre. And from there, it’s history.
This book has witty writing, quirky humor, a sexy Irishman, a great dip recipe, and lovable side stories. What more can you ask for in a rom-com?
