The lead characters are both audiobook romance narrators so they know all the tropes and can't believe that they're actually living them. Julia Whelan does a great job giving us a satisfactory love story while mostly avoiding cliches (or at least winking at them) and digging deeper into what makes romance a popular and necessary genre. Subplots include: grandparent with dementia, Hollywood fame, disability caused by an accident, What Happens in Vegas THIS WAS SO GOOOD!!! audiobook 10/10 what an experience! what a story!! this was so incredibly enjoyable and clever. Julia Whelan reading a novel + reading a novel she wrote = LOVE i loved every second of this audiobook—from the first chapter to the author’s note. highly recommend the audiobook!! and it is literally laugh out loud funny. this story had a lot going on too— parts romance, romcom, family drama, coming of age, friendship, etc. hard to stick it to one genre BUT all parts were done so well. truly had the best time reading this book When an accident put an end to her acting career, Sewanee found a place to land in the world of audiobook narration. She's generally content with her life and career, though she can't help mourning what she lost -- especially since her best friend is a rising star in the film industry. When Sewanee accepts a project co-narrating a romance novel with one of the hottest male narrators in the genre, she sees it as an opportunity to make enough money to keep her aging grandmother in the expensive retirement home that she's lived in for years, even with the added costs of the memory care unit that her grandmother now needs. She doesn't expect the sparks that fly between her and her co-narrator -- or what will happen when they finally meet in person... I was rooting for the main couple all they way, though some of their conflict felt a little bit contrived, and for a while I didn't like the choices Sewanee was making. The pacing dragged a bit in the middle, though not enough to make me feel entirely bogged down. I guessed a big plot twist pretty much right away, but enjoyed seeing my suspicions confirmed. I also appreciated the look into the world of audiobook narration (one of my dream careers) from an insider's perspective: Whelan herself has narrated many audiobooks. Ironically, I read the print version of this one. All in all, an enjoyable contemporary romance. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: From the author of My Oxford Year, Julia Whelan's uplifting novel tells the story of a former actress turned successful audiobook narratorâ??who has lost sight of her dreams after a tragic accidentâ??and her journey of self-discovery, love, and acceptance when she agrees to narrate one last romance novel. On her return home, Sewanee discovers one of the world's most beloved romance novelists wanted her to perform her last bookâ??with Brock McNight, the industry's hottest, most secretive voice. Sewanee doesn't buy what romance novels are sellingâ??not after her own dreams were tragically cut shortâ??and she stopped narrating them years ago. But her admiration of the late author, and the opportunity to get her grandmother more help, makes her decision for her. As Sewanee begins work on the book, resurrecting her old romance pseudonym, she and Brock forge a real connection, hidden behind the comfort of anonymity. Soon, she is dreaming again, but secrets are revealed, and the realities of life come crashing down around her once more. If she can learn to risk everything for desires she has long buried, she will discover a world of intimacy and acceptance she never believed woul Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
