À propos de cet audio
Two good neighbors make the best of a bad Valentine’s Day in a funny and improbably romantic short story by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Just for the Summer.
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much. But when disaster traps them one flight up and no way down, an outrageously precarious predicament forces a tree-loving guy and a rattled girl next door to embrace their captivity. Soon their defenses are breaking away. Considering how close they both are to the edge, Charlotte and Seth could be in danger of falling—in love.

As years pass, the rules for their email “dates” are breaking, and they’re sharing more than they imagined—including the urge to ask…what if we actually met?

Ce que les critiques en disent
“Narrators Julia Whelan and Connor Crais deliver unique performances in this short yet moving audiobook.… The narrators' performances offer a full experience. Each portrays their respective character's dialogue throughout the entire audiobook, which gives depth to the highly focused story. The majority takes place over a weekend, when the main characters come alive with their expert delivery. While most romances cover a longer time period, this one emphasizes the impact of a moment and the potential of a fresh start.”—AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner

Performed by my favourite narrators but why did they have to constantly say “she said” or “ he said” when there’s different voices for each character? It was very annoying
Short fun rom com

This was a cute and quick listen that I finished in one sitting. It was well paced and didn’t feel overdone on the insta-love despite its short length. I loved the witty banter between the MCs, and the visit from the ladies of the California Poppy Retirement Home was an absolute hoot!
I enjoyed the tree puns (your girl loves a good pun), the relatable IKEA references, and the meddling friends who also fell for one another.
And Seth’s adorable Valentine’s Day surprise? Yeah, he’s a fall risk for me too!
