Story
Sutton Spencer's ideas for her life were fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great, too. Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite.

With her newly completed PhD in astronomy in hand, twenty-eight-year-old Grace Porter goes on a girls' trip to Vegas to celebrate. She's a straight A, work-through-the-summer certified high achiever. She is not the kind of person who goes to Vegas and gets drunkenly married to a woman whose name she doesn't know…until she does exactly that. Staggering under the weight of her parents' expectations, a struggling job market and feelings of burnout, Grace flees her home in Portland for a summer in New York with the wife she barely knows.

Free-spirited and easygoing Taylor Vandenberg left her hometown of Faircombe, Tennessee, as soon as she could, and in the twenty-five years since, she has rarely looked back. She wouldn't change anything about how her life has turned out—having traveled to nearly every country, never staying anywhere long enough to feel stifled. Brooke Watson has known Taylor for her entire life, and lifelong knowledge means that Brooke knows she's trouble: irresponsible, takes nothing seriously, and irritatingly attractive.

So she fibs and says her latest setup was a success. Darcy doesn't expect her lie to bite her in the ass. Elle Jones, one of the astrologers behind the popular Twitter account, Oh My Stars, dreams of finding her soul mate. But she knows it is most assuredly not Darcy... a no-nonsense stick-in-the-mud, who is way too analytical, punctual, and skeptical for someone as free-spirited as Elle.

For cynical 23-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.

Hannah's a witch, but not the kind you're thinking of. She's an Elemental with the power to control fire, earth, water, and air. But even though she lives in Salem, MA, her magic is a secret she has to keep to herself. So, Hannah spends most of her time avoiding her ex-girlfriend (and fellow Elemental Witch) Veronica, hanging out with her best friend, and working at the Fly by Night Cauldron selling candles and crystals to tourists, goths, and local Wiccans. Then evidence of dark magic begins to appear all over Salem, and Hannah's sure it's the work of a deadly Blood Witch.

Cute queer love story we all needed

Written by: Rachael Lippincott, and others
Publisher's Summary
Two girls embark on a summer of montage-worthy dates (with a few strings attached) in this hilarious and heartfelt lesbian rom-com that’s perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Jenny Han.
Seventeen-year-old cynic Saoirse Clarke isn't looking for a relationship. But when she meets mischievous Ruby, that rule goes right out the window. Sort of.
Because Ruby has a loophole in mind: a summer of all the best cliché movie montage dates, with a definite ending come fall - no broken hearts, no messy breakup. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren’t forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it's over, the characters have fallen in love...for real.
Ciara Smyth's debut is a delightful, multilayered YA rom-com that will make you laugh, cry, and absolutely fall in love.

Phenomenal
I expected a cute romcom with some fuzzy bits... The narrator brings you on a journey that tugs the heartstrings.
The writing is moving and tear jerking, you can be laughing at some points then sober up right beside the characters. I will definitely be looking forward to more books read by this narrator and written by this author! Great work on this colab~

It surprised me.
I came for a goofy romance, but holy f*ck what I actually got left me emotional and thoughtful and everything. I just didn't expect this much. I didn't even expect a fraction of the emotional strength this story had waiting for me.
So yeah, if you want to think about stuff and maybe cry, with a side of romance, go right ahead.
Also why is it always the best gay stories that give me the endings I want from the bad ones? Like after all the tears I'm just supposed to accept that it's different and that's the end of the discussion. Ugh, my heart.
There's one thing to keep in mind. This is her story above all else.

I loved it!
This book drew me in from the beginning. I had so much fun with the characters, I loved how Ruby helped Saoirse process her grief in a heathy way and grow on what was meant to be an insignificant fling.
Alana Kerr Collins gave a brilliant performance. I loved her soothing and beautiful narration. I forgot about the narrator because she was the characters. This is what I look for in a narrator, no mouth noises to distract you from the book, I was able to just be lost in the story.
Happy listening!

Enjoyable
I went in almost blind with this book. All I knew was that it was gonna be gay. I really enjoyed it. The main character was a little much for me at times but not so much that I wanted to stop reading. The narrator did well and I was able to tell the characters apart from one another which is always a plus. I did have some trouble telling if it was the main character talking aloud or thinking to herself. The ending wasn't something I was expecting especially considering the direction it was going in, but ultimately I think it was a great ending for the book.

Good, but unexpected
The review that said this book was emotionally heavier than expected is greedy accurate. This book is good. It's well writen and enjoyable. The characters are fairly interesting, although occasionally I felt like banging my head on a wall because the main character was being a moron. But, she's a teen, and it was believable idiocy, so I can't exactly fault the book necessarily. Still, I probably would have made the MC a bit less of an idiot lol.
That said, my main complaint is that the summary you read before buying this book is that it's not what's inside. I mean, the summary does explain maybe *half* the book fine, but there's a lot of stuff about family relations, divorce, illness, and all that sort of stuff. Basically all of which is writen about competently at worst, and very well at best, but it sort of came out of left field. If you want a light fun romance I can't recommend this one. But if you don't mind heavy emotional stuff being included this is a great listen. But this is why this is a 4 star review and not a 5.
The narrator delivers the lines well, although I commonly listen to things on Audible and wish the narrator did more voice acting, as sometimes it's a bit confusing when every character sounds almost exactly the same. Still, all the base level things were there, and the deliveries were good. 4/5
Lastly, and I only include it because I was curious, but the amount of policial stuff is fairly low, and there was only one, fairly short, scene where I kind of just rolled my eyes while listening. I've listened to/ read lots of lesbian romances, but they were almost all either Yuri anime or manga, or fanfiction, neither of which has the politics of YA fiction, so I was a bit concerned. But fear not, this book has nothing that you can't just shrug and reasonably explain as just the characters being themselves, and none of the characters feel particularly political. 0/5 political treatise but 5/5 for not feeling like I was lectured at any point.
Would recommend so long as you know it won't be fun happy time for 10 hours.

Wonderful story, terrific narration!
There are certain audiobooks that find the perfect narrator (Jim Dale in Harry Potter, Katherine Kellgren in Bloody Jack, Phillipa Soo in The Stand-In, Stephen Briggs in the Tiffany Aching collection). Add The Falling in Love Montage to that list. Ciara Smyth has written a wonderfully endearing book that is perfectly narrated by Alana Kerr Collins.

Unforgettable
This ya story is wonderfully crafted around a girl dealing with heartbreaking life challenges and how she wrestles with the difficulty. The Rom Com theme seems antithetical to the challenges of hee life but provide just enough escapism to chip away at the edges of her emotional walls to find out the meaning and possibly of life and love. Fabulous narration, what a beautiful voice and such emotional depth and range.

I really loved Saoirse’s personality and humour throughout the book — and that scene at Barb’s bridal shop was hi-la-rious!! God, what a woman.
