Story
It was the summer of my life. I’d met the guy of my dreams. Unfortunately, he was the son of my uppity employer - and very much off-limits. But Gavin was a rebel. He knew his mother would disown him if she found out about us; in his eyes, we just had to be careful. He never treated me as his mother did - like hired help. Instead, Gavin put me on a pedestal and loved me harder than I’d ever been loved in my life.

They say revenge is a dish best served cold. I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me...now my heart was completely iced. I took her first kiss. She took the only thing I loved. I was poor. She was rich. The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast. Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project. Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much. Yeah, baby girl, say it. I’m your foster brother. There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life. She’s about to shell out some serious tears.

Stefan Sabbioni showed up uninvited in my bedroom on my 16th birthday. He stood in the shadows, smelling of whiskey and death and wrapped a broken, blood-crusted necklace around my neck. I thought he’d strangle me with it. That night, he left a message for my father. He said he’d be back to take something precious. I never delivered that message, though. I wonder if things would be different if I had because now, two years later, he’s back. And he’s not hiding in any shadows.

Let me list the reasons why dating the sexy, charming pro hockey star is a bad idea: He’s one of my closest friends. All our friends are friends. The wounds I’ve got from past relationships go deep. And so do his. We’re both devoutly single - it’s just safer for the heart that way. But there’s no reason not to bid on the gorgeous, clever athlete at the charity auction this weekend. If I win, it’ll be a "friendsdate".

Some days, all you need is a message from a stranger. Ruby Santos knew exactly what she was getting herself into when she signed up to write a soldier overseas. The guidelines were simple: one letter or email a week for the length of his or her deployment. Care packages were optional. Been there, done that. She thought she knew what to expect. What she didn't count on was falling in love with the guy.

Let me make a few things clear. I didn’t go to the wedding intending to dance with the best man, to dare him to show me a very sexy pic on his phone, or to accidentally kiss him in the hotel elevator after the reception ended. But things just happen at weddings. The next day, Crosby and I agree to put all those shenanigans behind us. The fun-loving, stupidly gorgeous, all-star baseball player might be my brother’s best friend, but he’s my good friend too and has been for years. I can't risk losing him, even though now I can't stop thinking about how I want him to be my first.

Publisher's Summary
Available in audio first, a brilliantly funny, scorchingly sexy new romance from number one New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely!
Picture this - I’m ready to win back the love of my life, and I’m going big this time. We’re talking boom box, sing her name in the rain, let the whole damn neighborhood know I'm good and ready this time around. After all, if you're going to grand gesture the ever-loving hell out of a second chance, you need to pull out all the stops.
There’s only one little problem.
My college girlfriend isn't the one who shows up when I play my "I'll do anything to win you back" tune.
The woman who flings open the second-floor window tells me my ex doesn’t live here anymore. But she'll help me win her back. Anything for romance, anything for a guy so willing to go big for love. And that's what I want at first. Until I get to know my new “romance coach” and discover she’s funny, clever, and keeps me on my toes. And boy, do I ever need that.
Now I don't want to win anyone else’s heart. I want the woman who's been helping me all along.
Trouble is - she thinks I'm in love with someone else, and when we take off on a road trip, everything I think I know about women is about to be unzipped and turned inside out.

Great Story
Kyler/Tom wanted to win his ex-girlfriend Cassie back a la "Say Anything" but ended up in Finley's window instead. What follow is a rollercoaster of a ride with FInley helping Kyler/Tom win back Cassie. I enjoyed listening to this story. The narration is clear. The narrators are great.

Laugh out Loud Funny
If you love rom-coms and one-liner, then this books will make you laugh out loud. Lauren Blakely literally used famous quotes from movies and TV shows and incorporated them into a cohesive and tight story that just clicked.
Oh, some reviewers have mentioned that this book was trying too hard to be comedic. I disagree with that comment. In an era of social media, pop culture has become a trope. This is one of the big reasons why this book is so funny. Lauren Blakely made fun of pop culture. In a roundabout way, she was making fun of today's society. And if we can't laugh at ourselves, then we had become as stiff as the Spanish inquisitors.
As for the narrators, Joe Arden and Andi Arndt are always brilliant in their performance.

Unzipped
Completely fell for these two, they had a meet-cute but it wasn’t anything like you’re used to. I freaking loved the fact that both these characters go with the flow. It’s almost an instant friendship their dynamic really meshes and it leaves room to grow.
What I personally liked was they both work in artistic fields they get each other in ways other people don’t. They learn from each other, teaching and growing and it’s ok if mistakes happen because they communicate and learn from it. Really an interesting story of finding love in the most unusual of situations.
You don’t really see what you have until it kind of slaps you in the face. I loved the 80’s spin with the movies and the music and tropes it works in a sweet way.
I couldn’t stop listening; these two narrators work so well they brought the story to life with perfect comedic timing.

Appealing to my college self!
What would be better than listening to a book with great narrators and good characters? How about characters who quoted movies I watched, listened to songs I love and had a chemistry so strong you could cut it with a knife? Lauren Blakely hit a chord with me on this one, bringing back some good, fun memories while getting to know this couple. "Tom" (Kyler) is a successful engineer designing roller coasters and Finley is a sitcom writer. When Tom shows up on Finley's front lawn with a grand gesture for his college ex-girlfriend to find out she is not there. Now Finley is on a mission to help Tom get his ex back while gathering some ideas for her tv show. Little does each of these two know how their chance meeting will effect them. This heart warming story is full of great banter, but the best part(other than the 80's flashbacks) is the way they help each other out. Both Tom and Finley are able to give each other advice, as they enjoy each other's company. In true Blakely fashion, it's a fun and easy listen that hits close to my heart.
Narrated by Joe Arden and Andi Arndt, it is like coming home to some good friends. These two have great comedic timing and are able to fit into the personality of the characters with such ease, it's like they are Tom and Finley. They make the story full of hilarity and entertainment.

#Lollygag *giggle snort*
I'll never be able to see/hear 'lollygag' again without giggling.
I listened to the audible version of Unzipped narrated by Joe Arden & Andi Arndt. I'm a big fan of Lauren Blakeley's books, but this is the first time I've listened to one. I enjoy listening to books with both male and female narrators. It makes it so much easier to get lost in the characters when you can hear their voice inflections, especially the whispers, growls, and gasps. It's like a guilty pleasure and I might actually blush when I hear the sex scenes, looking around to make sure that nobody else can hear what I'm listening to. And then, when I giggle snort or laugh out loud it's even more embarrassing. But does that mean I'm gonna stop doing it? Hell no!
-In comedy, timing isn't just everything, it's the only thing. It's the same in love.-
Listening to what was going on inside his head as he's attempting to execute a grand gesture to win back the college girlfriend that dumped him years ago is hilarious. Everything that could go wrong, does. It's horrible in the best way. It certainly gets the attention of the wrong girl. At least the woman behind the window that he's focusing his horrible demonstration on has a sense of humor, right? Otherwise, she might have called the cops on him for disturbing the peace.
I couldn't help shaking my head at the cluelessness of the poor nerd. While his lack of a clue was amusing, it was also heartbreaking. He had a lot to learn if he ever planned to catch and keep a good woman. Simply opening his mouth could be the end of his search for love if he didn't get some help. What better person to coach him than the object of his misdirected display?
-I'll help you on your quest. And you, in turn, can continue to be one of the most interesting curiosities I've stumbled across.-
Of course, my romantic heart was matchmaking almost immediately. So, I packed my virtual bags and stowed away on their road trip adventure, shamelessly eavesdropping and taking notes. So, take my advice and grab your audiobook copy of Unzipped to listen their road trip while you take a road trip of your own. Win/win, right?

✫✫ 4 Stars ✫✫
Lauren Blakely is truly the queen of Rom-Com and can always make me laugh. This book was a little sillier than her other but in a really fun way. There were a few lines that had me laughing out loud for sure.
Finley and Kyler were great because they were a perfect match, both of them just went with flow of every conversation. Both very quirky and had a serious love of 80's movies. There relationship started out as odd friends but they fell for each other in the end. I loved that they both knew they were falling and didn't hide it or try to fight it.
I loved all the 80's movie references through out this book. I knew them all and that just made it even more fun for me. As always Lauren writes a sweet, silly love story with happy characters who find their perfect match no matter how quirky their likes and dislikes. I can always count on a Lauren Blakely audiobook to make me smile and leave me feeling happy and lighthearted when it's over. That is why I listen to every one of her books as soon as they come out! I always know what to expect on an emotional level and she never disappoints!
Joe Arden and Andi Arndt were perfect! They are both amazing narrators. Lauren Blakely is obviously an audiobook fan, you can always tell by her perfect narration choices!

Terrific rom com with unexpected depth!
I expected to laugh...I expected to enjoy the banter...and I was delightfully surprised with the depth and nuance of Unzipped. This hilarious romance explores how people change, what it means to take risks, how to say you're sorry, and how to express your true heart! Finley and Tom are delicious characters with flaws, quirks and charms and their story melted my heart!

Laughed out loud. Loved every word.
Unzipped is Lauren Blakely's newest hilarious, sexy, fun romantic comedy. Lauren Blakely is just phenomenal. She can write anything and make it fresh, witty, unique and exciting. I listened to Unzipped in audio and I'm such a new fan of audio and I'm loving listening to books come to life. Unzipped was special to me because Tom is a big gesture guy and he loves to use movie quotes in everyday conversation. I also do this and I was giddy listening to him quote my favorite movies! Tom wants to win back his college girlfriend. He thinks go big or go home so he jumps right in. Except it's not her who hears but her neighbor Finley. She can't help but love his gesture, but after learning why he did it she wants to help him win her back. But she's also going to get something out of it. She's a tv show writer and she needs a muse. Tom is perfect! He's nerd sexy with his glasses and perfect face and he's hopeless when it comes to what women want. He has a lot to learn and she has a lot to teach! They aren't initially attracted to each other. It's more of a slow burn as they get to know each other, have fun together and learn new things. Then they go on a road trip together. Tom realizes he's not chasing his old love anymore, he wants new love. With Finley. Finley is afraid of her feelings for him because she's been here before. Left for the old girlfriend. But Tom is just so great, she can't help but fall for him. He's so clueless and I just wanted to pat him on the head and say "Bless your Heart." Finley is the perfect teacher, because she knows how women think and what they want. Tom is also helping her write new episodes of her show and they are some of her best work. They make a great team. They are pretending to date so he can learn. She is getting awesome material. And they are getting closer. Tom is learning and when he realizes he wants Finley, he's making all the right moves to woo her. Will Tom do all the right things to show Finley he wants her forever? Will Finley let her guard down and see the real Tom? I loved this story! The movie quotes, the 80's references, the hilarity, the swooning, the jokes, the music, the gestures. It was all perfection. This romance is so much more than just a unexpected lovers story. It shows Tom growing up and moving on. Letting go of childhood notions and looking at what's right in front of you. Finley learns to let go of her past and trust the man she's with. Not all men are the same and Tom is special. It made me nostalgic for my childhood. I wanted to call old friends. Watch Moonstruck, Say Anything, Love Actually, Bull Durham and all of my 80's favorites. Not going to lie, I already started watching a few! Andi Arndt and Joe Arden are fantastic! They have the comedy down perfectly and Joe has mastered the sheepishness of poor Tom! They are a few of my favorite narrators. They always bring me into the story with the great voices, ability to chuckle, use the right tone and bring the characters to life. They do emotion so well, I felt what they are feeling. Overall, I laughed out loud, smiled a lot, shook my head, got tingles, laughed more and really, really loved it.

Outstanding RomCom!
What do you get when you combine Lauren Blakely's unique style of humor and heart with Joe Arden and Andi Arndt's voices? RomCom gold. This title had me laughing throughout, snorting along with the heroine and shaking my head and sighing at our hero. I fell in love with these characters and know this is a book I will listen to again and again.
Finley is my kind of heroine. Smart, funny and a little bit vulnerable. Her personality came shining through in this audio. I love her job and how creative she is with it. Seeing her relationship with her father was sweet and really showed insight as to why she is the person she is. I would love to be her friend and just hang out with her.
Kyler/Tom had me GRINNING. I'm such a sucker for a grand gesture and I loved seeing him go all in....even when things didn't work the way he thought they would. He was adorkable (nope, that's not a typo). He was clueless on so many levels (and smart on others) but I loved watching him absorb and learn from Finley. His journey into love was a joy to experience.
These two have great chemistry. The banter is spot on and just fun. I'm not kidding when I say I was constantly chuckling. I loved seeing how they came together as a couple; I thought the narrators did a great job of bringing them and their emotions to life. I fell for Tom right along with Finley-and I wouldn't change a thing about that.
The plot of this book was just FUN. Pure fun to listen to and Joe Arden and Andi Arndt really brought their A game with their performances. This story felt new and the references to some of my very favorite movies had me grinning.
I used to be a read it then listen to it kind of audio book person, I was always afraid I'd miss something by not seeing the words first. With books like this from this Author, and performances like the ones here, I am SO glad I got over that mindset. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it.
