Nora Goes Off Script by Annabel Monaghan
4.5

Mini Audiobook Review - 4.5 
After reading Same Time Next Summer, I went backwards and checked out Nora Goes Off Script and I can definitely see why everyone loved it! 

At first I wasn't sure if I was into it but quickly that feeling disappeared as I was super invested in Nora & Leo's relationship.  I love how she was Hollywood adjacent being behind the scenes as a screenwriter whereas Leo is the face in front of the camera. I love the way he treated her kids and immediately struck a relationship with them. I did not like their conflict as I wish Leo communicated what was going on instead of going radio silent. I don't blame Nora for being heartbroken. I totally could see how strong feelings and the what if intrusive thoughts linger in your head after such a short time of being with someone. 

I did think the end kind of wrapped up too quickly. I would have loved to see Nora and Leo continue to date and progress further into a relationship. See how they worked through that hiccup not only with her but with her kids as well. Just like her latest release, this one is short and sweet. Definitely bingeable and moves quick that you could get through in a day. 

I look forward to reading her future releases!
