Lia needs ANSWERS from beyond, NOT matchmaking!
When 20-something Lia’s grandmother dies, her life is knocked upside-down. In order to satisfy the terms of her inheritance, Lia is forced to move to the family’s apartment complex in the scenic mountain town of Applebarrow, leaving behind her dead-end job and long-term boyfriend, Jason. While she’s happy to fulfill her Granana’s unusual dying wish to play social director to the eclectic group of tenants, she’s surprised to discover they are not what she was expecting.
Her days as an RA in her college dorm were inadequate preparation for personalities such as a jealous librarian who names her Thanksgiving turkeys, a charmingly naive mechanic who thinks New Wave is beach music, and a volatile menopausal woman who claims to be a delicate flower.
To add to the mayhem, she meets Logan, an attractive young bartender with a penchant for rescuing her from absurd antics, such as losing her phone to a raccoon and thinking Long Island Iced Teas contain little alcohol. As Jason’s behavior becomes increasingly suspicious and erratic, Lia can’t help being drawn to Logan’s thoughtfulness, wit, and intense blue eyes.
As she adapts to her new community, secrets and lies emerge, and Lia wonders what the deceased, AND living, people in her life are hiding. Working to uncover the evidence, Lia hopes a wacky, unexpected visitor from beyond will provide the answers she craves - before she loses her grip on reality, and the love of her life.
Nobody Tells Lia Anything is Book 1 in the Spooky Matchmakers series.

Needless to say, the residents of the apartment complex is an assortment of eccentric characters, while Lia is prone to crazy accidents, involving Long Island Teas, raccoons and mud, to name a few. Not to mention that everybody has something to hide, starting with her boyfriend.
The book is full of humor, crazy antics, and yet deep emotional moments. One moment I laughed out loud, while the next I cried as I felt the emotional turmoil Lia was in. While some will claim that Lia was trully stupid in trying to save her relationship with Jason, I can't help but sympathize with her. She's invested too many years of her life in a relationship and she feels that she has to try and salvage it. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and with a little help from the spirit realm everything comes full circle and questions are answered.
This was my first book by Carol and it really hooked me! I read it in one sitting and I can't wait for the next book in the series!!!
As far as the audiobook goes, I loved the narrator. I hope she narrates Carol's next book as well.
Just loved it!

So when CMS presented a promo of the audio for NTLA, I jumped! I was like a kid at Christmas and couldn't wait to hear from Lia again along with the misfit community of PP, and of course, Granana.
The narrator did a great job, but unlike the book, sometimes you didn't know what Lia was saying out loud or thinking and muttering to herself. A lot of that was my most favorite part. However, that is NOT the narrator's fault. I mean, it isn't like she could pause while reading and say, "okay, Sharonica, this bit is italicized," although that would be cool AF. Just sayin'!😂
It was fun, made me giggle, cringe, eye roll, nod in understanding, and feel indignant at all the appropriate times (you will understand when you read/listen).
Awesome Audible! 😍
Such Fun!💜

The book is advertised as "Laugh Out Loud Paranormal" - I did not find this to be true. I smiled a few times but no laugh out loud moments for me. At times, I found this story to be very tedious. Lia has a boyfriend Jason- and Lia is told on numerous occasions that he is not right for her - and Jason behaves on numerous occasions like he is not right for her. Lia is told on numerous occasions that her neighbor and bar owner Logan is perfect for her - and Logan is shown on numerous occasions that he is perfect for her. Yet, Lia complains about Jason and daydreams about Logan - over and over again. I get Lia's reluctance on not wanting to quickly give up on a long-term relationship - but, I'm sorry I just got tired of her wishy-washy behavior and every time it happened - Jason bad, Logan good - I audibly sighed. I think this would have been better had it been shorter.
The narrator, Rosie O'Toole, did a very nice job. She provided various voices for the different characters.
Okay - but a bit long

Lia’s grandmother passes away and leaves her the estate... with one condition. Lia must move into an apartment complex and become the property manager / social director for the tenants. Confused by the request, Lia obeys and moves to Applebottom, VA to fulfill her Granana’s wishes. She leaves her boyfriend back in Richmond. As the story unfolds, Lia has to figure out what she really wants out of life. Does she want to move to Europe or does she want to stay in this small town? And who does she see this happening with? And how can she do this with her Grandmother’s ghost occasionally showing up? The cast of characters is hysterical. They are from all walks of life and have such distinct personalities. Can’t wait to see where the next one goes. The narrator did very well differentiating between so many people with so many distinct accents. It was easy to follow who was speaking. She seemed very enthusiastic about telling the story as well. Loved it. Def laugh out loud!
Great characters, Living and dead!
