True love is on the line in this charming, laugh-out-loud rom-com - created specifically for the audio format!

Paint your toes. Pick up the wrong coffee and bagel order. Drive from Brooklyn to Jersey in traffic so slow you want to tear your hair out. It’s amazing all the useless things I can accomplish while on hold for three hours with customer service. Three hours when I should be getting the Date-in-a-Box website ready to launch at the big business expo in a few days. Except my shiny new website is glitching, and my inner rage-monster is ready to scorch some earth...when he finally picks up. Not the robot voice I expected but a real live human named Kal. He’s surprisingly helpful and really knows his stuff, even if he’s a little awkward...in an adorable way.

And suddenly I’m flirting with him? And I think he’s flirting back.
And suddenly it’s been hours, and we’re still on the phone talking and ordering each other takeout while he troubleshoots my website.
And suddenly we’re exchanging numbers and sending texts and DMs every day, leaving voice mails (who even does that anymore?!).
And suddenly I’m wondering if it’s possible for two people to fall in love at first talk.

Because I’m falling...hard.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I LOVED this book! It was cute and sweet. The plot was fairly predictable but it was still a thoroughly enjoyably listen. The voice of Cal was super sexy and I'm going to need to find more books he's narrated

This was SO cute!!

I have never listened to an audiobook quite like this. It was a story that was definitely made for an audio listener.

The majority of the story takes place through phone calls. And while unrealistic in spots, that’s not why I listen to or read books. I have enough reality in reality. This was a great escape.

This was one of those books I didn’t want to stop listening to. I loved it so much.

Kal and Vera were so fun to get to know throughout this story. And that’s really what this book was about, them getting to know each other. It was unique in that way because most stories they jump into a relationship and we read to their HEA. In this story, it was all the lead up to them finally meeting in person. And it was perfect.

Wow!
