About this listen

An amusing, charming lesbian romance about finding unexpected love inside family expectations.

When Fiona Ng’s best friend, Michael, needs a pretend girlfriend to bring home for Christmas in Arkansas, Fiona girds her loins and steps up. Besides, how hard could one festive family weekend be, anyway? That’s before she meets the boisterous McElroy clan, with accents as thick as a homemade pie crust, and an endless supply of competitive siblings, including Lizzie, Michael’s beautiful younger sister.

Lizzie seems to be everywhere, with her intoxicating scent, wandering hands, lingering gaze, and that bright, echoing laugh. The more time Fiona spends in her orbit, she wonders how she can even concentrate let alone pull off a convincing fake relationship.

A book with a tiny twist...

Few weeks ago I read a similar book, very similar story line but this one as a small difference so I guess it has the right to exist. Towards the end there is a sex scene just because the writer thought if there is no sex scene it will not be a good sell... completely out of place. And illogical.
Narration was Ok but could be better.

Might be a frequent listen!

I listened to the audio version and loved it! The circumstances are very fun in so many ways. There's family drama and truth-telling. It's a different take on the fake relationship. I just think we need a sequel. What happens now? The narrator is really good. I heard some errors, but not many, and I don't know if they were on the part of the author or the narrator. I still really enjoyed the story. The narrator did an excellent job with the accents that brought the characters to life. The setting was vivid also. I especially liked the aspects about race. And the competitions were loads of fun! This might be a frequent listen! The only criticism I have is that things happened quickly and somewhat inappropriately (sex) and then the book was over. Don't get me wrong; we got enough of the story, but I can't stop thinking about what will happen next. I guess leaving me wanting more is a good thing!

Great book that I only wish was longer

I love this author and own both of her other books already. I jumped at the chance to add this one to my collection and I don’t regret it. The characters were funny and the story was engaging. The ending was good but I wish it could have been a bit longer. Maybe an epilogue or something but the last line had me laughing. It’s more that I just wanted more time with the characters rather than needing it though. Don’t wait on this one, it’s definitely worth the credit.

TERRIBLE ACCENT!

I enjoyed the book, but the narration was absolutely the worst! I’m from East Texas and I almost couldn’t listen to this cringeworthy attempt at at southern accent. Literally would’ve been better had she not attempted one at all. If someone is going to narrate using an accent, one should at least be able to perform said accent. I hope she refrains from EVER trying to use this accent again because literally no southerner I have ever known has spoken even remotely like that.

Strong emotions and vivid imagery.

My gay soul loves this plot right from the start. Makes me smile ear to ear by chapter 2.

It's an all around good time with good vibes and a lot of lovable characters.

The voices are nice, but it sounds a little off till you get used to it. Increasing the speed can help.

Another Amazing KL Hughes audiobook!

HEY, AUDIBLE, can we please get more KL Hughes?!! Life is short and her books are just too good :) so, I knew I'd like this book, because "The Art of Us" blew my mind and gave me all kinds of feelings, and "Popcorn Love" was adorable and sexy and I loved both audiobooks (I dont re-listen to many books, but KL Hughes I have) so... the Wrong McElroy... at first I was iffy about the twangy, Arkansas accent (not my fav thing accent) of some of the characters but it sort of grew on me as I I quickly began to like all the book's characters. I really enjoyed the witty dialogue, and how Lizzy and Fiona fell for each other in days, but it seemed like they knew each other longer. I also liked that the siblings weren't assholes about the whole situation when the truth was revealed on xmas day. It really was a fun listen and I'm sad, wondering how long until the next KL Hughes audiobook shows up on audible????
thank you, KL Hughes and Nicole Blessing!
