10 Things That Never Happened by Alexis Hall
5.0
Hey there fellow book friends and audio book lovers! Today, I've got the inside scoop on an excellent story that has had me giggling and grinning like the Cheshire cat: "10 Things That Never Happened" by Alexis Hall. I dove head first into this delightful audiobook adventure and finished it in less than 24 hours!
From the very start, this audiobook had me at the mention of "Lord of the Rings" super-fandom and an 'amnesia con' worthy of a Hollywood plot twist. Yes, you heard that right! You know I am a nerd at heart, so I had to read about Samwise 'Sam' Becker, the manager of a bed and bath retailer (I was sold with a Tolkien-inspired name!), and Jonathan Forest, the frosty, bossy business owner. When these two collide, it's a whirlwind of humor, wit, and unexpected chemistry.
Now my friends, imagine this: Sam faking amnesia to keep his branch alive and his coworkers employed, and Jonathan unleashing his true, frosty self. Especially when Jonathan's family show up. Talk about a comedic collision! I couldn't stop smiling and giggling as their story unfolded, and the banter had me in stitches. The slow-burn romance and the characters' relatability was the icing on the cake.
Now, let's give a round of applause to the talented voice actor, Will Watt, who brought this tale to life in the audiobook version. His voicing of Sam was nothing short of spectacular, I could listen to Will for days, he added an extra layer of charm to an already entertaining narrative. I know I will be looking for more of Will's narration in the future.
The dynamic between Sam and Jonathan is like a rollercoaster, gradually evolving from dislike to friendship and finally sparking with that undeniable attraction. Alexis Hall's genius lies in his ability to craft characters that are flawed yet utterly real and endearing.
This book stole my heart, much like it is sure to do for you, my readers. It's a story of unexpected connections, hilarious mishaps, and heartwarming moments that will stay with you long after the final chapter.
So my friends, if you're a fan of romance, humor, and characters you can't help but root for, do yourself a favor and pick up this book or audiobook. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
Happy listening!
