Thank You for Listening by Julia Whelan
4.0

Thank You For Listening is equal parts fun and heartfelt and gives an interesting view into the world of audiobook production.

Julia Whelan is a Queen! She is, in my opinion, one of the absolute best audiobook narrators (my personal favorite), and I have really enjoyed her work as an author. Her evocative writing and character interactions (banter, chemistry, and conflict) have won me over with both her debut and this novel.

The premise of this book is so intriguing! In Thank You For Listening, which is written by a women who has made a career as an audiobook narrator, we have the story of two audiobook narrators and their relationship that evolves while they work together on the same project. I absolutely loved the “behind-the-scenes” view of the production of an audiobook. I also really liked the epistolary elements. I just found this to be a very fascinating read!

While I did love the storyline, wit, and emotion, I didn’t always connect with the characters, so I felt some parts dragged a bit.

Overall, I think fans of Women’s Fic that toes the line of Romance and fans of audiobooks, in general, will enjoy Thank You For Listening.

*Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this book. This did not affect my opinion or the content of my review.
