Get ready for a wild ride! The Champagne Toast is the kind of book that grabs you from the first page and does not let go. It’s a psychological thriller wrapped in romance, layered with family secrets, and sprinkled with some of the most meddlesome moms I’ve ever read. Leah Orr’s writing reminds me of authors like Freida McFadden and Mary Kubica if you love fast-paced suspense with unpredictable twists, you’re in for a treat.

Misty and Roland’s romance starts off simple enough, thanks to their scheming friends, Marilyn and Scratch. But just when you think you know where things are going, past traumas and buried family secrets come crashing in, turning their love story into something much darker and more dangerous. The tension builds and builds until that champagne toast moment... trust me, you will not be ready for what happens.

One of my favorite things about this book is the dialogue. The witty banter between the characters adds a perfect contrast to the suspense, keeping the story engaging and fast-moving. And the moms? Oh the moms, they bring so much drama in the best way possible.

The audiobook is a fantastic listen, with Annalee Scott and Danny Montooth bringing Misty and Roland to life. Their performances add depth to the emotions and tension, making the story even more immersive.

If you love thrillers that mix romance, dark family secrets, and jaw-dropping twists, The Champagne Toast needs to be on your list. Five stars all the way!
