I received a copy of this audiobook from NetGalley and Dreamscape Media in exchange for an honest review.
This is the third book in a trilogy “The Introverts Guide To…” Online Dating is the first book and Speed Dating is the second: both of which I also listened to and loved.
While this is a trilogy - the trilogy is a spin off from 2 previous series following a group of friends. The One Night Stand Next Door/The Girl Next Door. The Bookworms Guide to Dating/Faking It/Flirting. While it’s not completely necessary to have read these books previously I can see where it would make the pay off more enjoyable. This being the last single friend in the group the epilogue does include bits about the other couples.
Some back story is indicated but I did not feel like I was missing much. I don’t even think it’s really essential to have read the previous books to enjoy this one. So this one can be read as a standalone in my opinion but you may not care as much about the epilogue.
This was a shorter audiobook coming in at 4 hours 19 min - something you can easily listen to all in one day which is sometimes just what you need.
This was a great cast of characters again especially the side jaunts to visit the wacky grandparents in the nursing home and their chickens. The older generations antics have continued as the B plot throughout the series.
Heroine is a small town bakery owner/baker who wants to franchise. Hero is a romance author writing a book about a bakery romance but knows nothing about baking. I was about 38% in when I had to text a friend who is a bakery owner/baker to tell her to check it out!
I love the alternating male - female narration. The narrators were phenomenal and sound quality could not have been better.
This was a fun, short, small town, contemporary rom com with much less steam than its predecessors. Closed door in fact but still fun. 5/5
