Author: Lauren Blakely

Narrators: Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan

Eight years ago, Monroe and Juliet had a secret summer fling. At the end of the summer, they went their separate ways – he went off to medical school, got married, divorced. She got a degree in marketing and runs a party planning business for divorce/break-up parties. And now they are co-hosts of a popular dating advice podcast. When they are gifted a house in the same town where they met by a grateful wealthy listener whom they helped find true love, they decide to go check it out. It’s a beautiful, charming cottage with one bed and mirrored ceilings… And yes, one bed. It’s also fortunate that Monroe has to go back anyway for his estranged father’s retirement party.

Juliet has never lost hope of finding “the one”. Her dating adventures are the fodder for their podcast. Now the time that she has to spend together with Monroe at their new house becomes part of an experiment: he will role-play as the men she finds attractive in the dating app, they’ll go on dates with him pretending to be these men and he’ll coach her on what she’s doing wrong…. But Monroe has ulterior motives. 

I picked this one when I saw the narrators: Andi Arndt and Jacob Morgan! What a pair! If you are and Audible Plus member, it’s also free to download. Andi is lovely as the hopeful yet a little disenchanted Juliet and Jacob has the charm cranked up to 11 as the “it’s always been you” hero who thinks that his girl could do better than him. The chemistry is amazing and the story is pretty much low angst. It’s also a relatively short audiobook, so it’s a perfect companion for a lazy afternoon.
