This is best as an audio book because it is a romantic comedy about two audio book readers who hates romantic comedies. The dialog is super clever, the characters are charming and multi-dimensional, and the reader of this audio book is herself the author. Her voices are amazing.

The witty, playful, romantic dialogue is so enthralling that it is impossible not to fall in love with the characters and root for their happily ever after. I also loved the unique storyline featuring the life of an audiobook narrator; this felt like a unique glimpse into the audiobook world that I’d never seen before.
