About this listen
It takes a village to fall in love. Set in Scotland, on the Isle of Skye, we meet Harry and Emilia, who have always been best friends, well, until they complicated everything by sleeping together. Drunk and alone on New Year’s Eve, Emilia phones up the TV’s psychic and spills out all of her sorrows. When her friends propose to stay in a cabin in the middle of nowhere for Christmas, Emilia jumps at the chance, but the atmosphere quickly dampens when Harry announces his girlfriend will be joining them. What will happen to Harry and Emilia’s relationship when they discover the island is full of old myths and a time loop they just can’t escape from?

What happens when best friends take it to the next level? That's the question of the day. But what happens when it doesn't work out the way they'd hoped it would? You end up with a cute little Christmas story that puts you in mind of the movie Groundhog's Day.
Harry and Emilia are such loveable characters that it's such as shame to see them struggle in this book. But complications abound when a time loop sucks them up into a hilarious series of unfortunate events. Will they be able to fix the time loop, or will they be stuck there for all time?
I will warn you, the narration has one character in which you'd rather rip your ears out than listen to her talk. But I'm not sure if it's the narrator herself, or if it's the character that I just couldn't stand (for that voice only... the rest of the voices were great.)
Groundhog's Day, eat your heart out

I wanted to like this—was drawn in by the cover and instantly liked the world and its cute little quicks. However, this read is told from the POV of the female lead and wow, is she awful. I get pining for someone who you seemingly can’t have and all of that but she just drones on and on and on and on about it … saying much of the same things over and over, and even behaving a bit catty at times. It was cringe and I was often overcome by secondhand embarrassment for both, how awful and juvenile this “upper 20-something” (self described) year-old woman whined and carried on nonstop. It basically ruined an otherwise cute story.
Upper 20s FMC.
Holiday vibes.
Scotland.
Magic.
History, castles, playing tourist.
Hoards of OW drama.
Best friends to lovers.
Second-chance romance.
Overall:
This came across to me as a first draft that could use some work, alas, it’s obviously gone to press as is. 3 stars - cutesy world-building, awful character development, which unfortunately took away from the story and world.
🎧 Audio:
The narrator was fantastic—a little breathy, but overall she sounded great and she performed rather than doing that robotic / dictation thing that some do.
Overall sound quality was perfect.
Okay premise, insufferable female lead. GREAT audi
