Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a horrific accident when he was seven, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. When Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from that shed.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 8,148
Justin has a curse, and thanks to a Reddit thread, it's now all over the internet. Every woman he dates goes on to find their soul mate the second they break up. When a woman slides into his DMs with the same problem, they come up with a plan: They'll date each other and break up. Their curses will cancel each other’s out, and they’ll both go on to find the love of their lives. It’s a bonkers idea… and it just might work.

Another Fantastic Abby Jimenez Book!

I loved the entire ride through this story. If you love Abby Jimenez's writing, you will love this book. I adore the characters and their journey. The messages in it are also incredibly important. The research that went into it too was evident. And the performances by the narrators was top notch. I can't wait to listen to it again and again.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 6,035
Dr. Briana Ortiz’s life is seriously flatlining. Her divorce is just about finalized, her brother’s running out of time to find a kidney donor, and that promotion she wants? Oh, that’s probably going to the new man-doctor who’s already registering eighty-friggin’-seven on Briana’s “pain in my ass” scale. But just when all systems are set to hate, Dr. Jacob Maddox completely flips the game . . . by sending Briana a letter. And it’s a really good letter. Like the kind that proves that Jacob isn’t actually Satan.

I love all of Abby Jimenez's books, but this one is so very good. Especially the author's note at the end. The writing is superb, the performances of the narrators are just as wonderful, and the story is great too. I will be listening to this again, just like her other books. If you love her content on TikTok or her other books, you'll love this one too.

Reviewed: 10-09-23
If you loved Abby Jimenez's first book, you'll love this one too. Between the writing and the performances of the narrators, it was superb. I typically don't like books where there are more than one narrator for some reason, but I think the writing made a big difference. Plus, these two do a fantastic job of bringing this book to life. I will be listening again and I can't wait until I can get the next book.

Kristen Petersen doesn't do drama, will fight to the death for her friends, and has no room in her life for guys who just don't get her. She's also keeping a big secret: facing a medically necessary procedure that will make it impossible for her to have children. Planning her best friend's wedding is bittersweet for Kristen - especially when she meets the best man, Josh Copeland. He's funny, sexy, never offended by her mile-wide streak of sarcasm, and always one chicken enchilada ahead of her hangry. Even her dog, Stuntman Mike, adores him. The only catch: Josh wants a big family.
