I love Alice Feeney’s stories - the twists and turns, and the fact that I am constantly left wondering WHY I didn’t figure out the twist when sometimes it makes so much sense.
Good Bad Girl is about figuring out what happened to a baby 20 years ago, who is the actual murdered, and can we truly trust any of these characters??
Narrated by Katherine Press and Stephanie Racine - both who did an absolutely beautiful job. However, they both sounded so similar that it was tough to also know whose POV it was.
I would have loved to have more narrators to help keep it straight but it was still very enjoyable. I think I liked this one almost as much as Daisy Darker (which is by far my favorite Alice Feeney book)
Huge thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC in exchange for my honest review.

Lex & Evan have a very unfortunate meet cute and after a heated debate is live streamed on social media, agree to trade lives for 2 months to see who can win a bet.
Lex is an heiress and has no understanding of what it means go without. Evan is a mechanic who is guardian of his niece, whose annual salary is less than what Lex gets in a month from her trust fund.
I absolutely adored both Lex and Evan - however, while I hate the change that we saw in Evan, I loved the growth that we saw with Lex. Both characters had beautiful character development that felt so right for the story. I felt like the third act breakup could have been done differently - only because I HATE when miscommunication causes the third act breakup.
Overall, very cute story and a very quick read.

I fell in love with Viv in Legends & Lattes and it was so good to experience another book by Travis Baldree and experience another adventure with Viv.
Bookshops & Bonedust is the prequel to L&L so we meet Viv when she is left in a random town by her gang after her leg is injured. Her injury is cared for and her only option is to take time to heal. Except, in true Viv fashion, she has to find something to occupy her time.
In comes Fern, who owns a rundown bookshop, which Viv is determined to help him turn it around into a successful shop.
Just like L&L, this whole book felt like a warm hug - it was cozy and fun, a perfect comfort read. However, B&B seemed to have a little more fantasy adventure to it. I still loved it and I can’t wait to get a physical copy to be able to read again.

Ghosted by Sarah Ready was the unexpected emotional and funny story that I needed to break me out of my audiobook slump. It was narrated by Sarah Naughton and Rob Brinkman who were both absolutely phenomenal in telling the story.
Jillian writes a relationship advice column - yet she struggles with relationships and speaking to men herself. Until she meets Daniel, a ghost who seems to know her and is convinced that he is haunting her because he’s meant to help her. The two fall in love until one day he disappears and she doesn’t expect to find him again, even fall in love again. Until the unexpected happens…
I adored everything about Ghosted - the story, the characters. It was witty and heart-wrenching, had amazing character growth (and not just the main character but also the unforgettable side characters)
This is definitely a book that I want to experience again as a regular read because I loved the audio sooo much.

Pippin Marino helps her mom & grandmother run their family restaurant - it’s all that she has ever known. So when her twin sister, Polly, announces her engagement and her mom announces that they are selling the restaurant, Pippin feels like she’s losing everything in her life that is comforting. Even worse, she kisses her best friend Toby and doesn’t know if she can come to terms with how she truly feels about him or take the risk to find out how he feels about her.
Overall, I would give this a solid 3.5 stars. It was a cute book that started off a little slow and felt draggy. It picked up about the 50% mark and then was hard to put down.
I enjoyed the chemistry between the characters - I love Toby’s character most of all. I loved that he was always texting her bad dad jokes because it was clear that was his love language. I enjoyed the growth of the characters and the development.
Thank you so much to the author and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. I will definitely be on the lookout for future books by Lauren Morrill.
