About this listen

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell comes her first short-story collection, Scattered Showers

Rainbow Rowell has won fans all over the world by writing about love and life in a way that feels true.

In her first collection, she gives us nine beautifully crafted love stories. Girl meets boy camping outside a movie theater. Best friends debate the merits of high school dances. A prince romances a troll. A girl romances an imaginary boy. And Simon Snow himself returns for a holiday adventure.

It’s a feast of irresistible characters, hilarious dialogue, and masterful storytelling—in short, everything you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell audiobook.

A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.

What the critics say

<p>"Rowell offers more of what she does best: character-driven stories interlaced with a healthy dose of nerdiness and a little sappy indulgence thrown in as a treat. It’s easy to get swept up in these tales and root so passionately for the protagonists that it almost hurts, but readers will close the covers feeling satisfied...A treat." - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>“Rowell is talented enough to be uncategorizable.” —Janet Maslin, <i>The New York Times</i>, on <i>Landline</i><br><br>“Rowell nails the voices of her teen protagonists—her writing swings from profane to profound, but it’s always real and always raw.”—Petra Mayer, <i>NPR Books</i>, on <i>Eleanor & Park</i><br><br>“Absolutely captivating.”—<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review) on <i>Fangirl</i></p>

Perfect encapsulation of Rainbow Rowell’s work, warm and comforting and fun. Loved seeing old faces and new, the only story that didn’t really work for me was the very last and even it was perfectly fine.
