    About this audiobook

    A savvy, page-turning novel about a woman torn between her husband and the man she thought she'd marry.

    Annie Adams is days away from her thirty-second birthday and thinks she has finally found some happiness. She visits the world's most interesting places for her syndicated travel column and she's happily cohabiting with her movie director boyfriend Nick in Los Angeles. But when Nick comes home from a meeting with his therapist (aka "futures counselor") and announces that he's taking a break from their relationship so he can pursue a woman from his past, the place Annie had come to call home is shattered. Reeling, Annie stumbles into her neighborhood bar and finds Griffin-a grounded, charming chef who seems to be everything Annie didn't know she was looking for. Within three months, Griffin is Annie's husband and Annie finds herself trying to restart her life in rural Massachusetts.

      I enjoyed the story it just took me a little longer to get into it. I think it is because I didn’t like the narrator as well.

      The book was ok, but the narrator is terrible! I couldn’t stand the weird cadence she spoke in. Very distracting!

    • 3/5
      I agree with other reviewers dislike for the narration. The cadence is off but I pushed through. It’s an entertaining enough book to pass the time.
    • 3/5
      Narrator sounds like a news anchor at times. Good book/story drags a bit at times- narration doesn’t make it easier.
    • 1/5
      Could be a great book, but the narration is impossible to get past.
    • 2/5
      I found this book dragged on and was difficult to get into. There were several times I debated not finishing the book.
    • 3/5
      A fun, light audiobook, however, very predictable and drag out at times
    • 5/5
      Perfect romance were girl finally gets the perfect man narration was good
    • 2/5
      Agree with everyone. The narrator is so bad I can’t finish it.
    • 5/5
      I am enjoying listening to all of Laura Dave’s audiobooks that I can find. Sad that I only have one more to go!
