What an absolutely charming book! I loved every moment of this story. I very rarely find a romantic novel that I love so much that I rate it 5 stars! (Not an insult- I love the genre! But, I mean, they're formulaic and most romance or rom com books blend together in my memory.) But this one? I guess I was just in the right headspace to read this because I freakin loved it.

I particularly loved Eileen's POV chapters. She is so sweet, nosy, and laugh out loud funny. (Seriously, I was laughing out loud in public while listening and walking my dog every morning.) Beth O'Leary wrote all of the village residents with such humor and the dialogue perfectly captured their relationships with each other. There are some sad aspects to the storyline, such as the loss of a sibling and a break-up, but it is woven in with the adventures of Leena and Eileen so it is an overall light-hearted, fun read.

The production value of this audiobook is top notch. I enjoy audiobooks that have two narrators, but this production goes above and beyond by including a voice filter to make it sound like characters are actually speaking to each other on the phone. Alison Steadman and Daisy Edgar-Jones are amazing voice actors. The emotion and natural pauses in their narration are what tipped this rating up to 5 stars.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for access to the free audiobook in exchange for an honest review!
