About this listen
A steamy, opposites-attract romance with undeniable chemistry between a grumpy retired footballer and his fabulous and very sunshine-y ghostwriter.
When grumpy ex-footballer Alfie Harding gets badgered into selling his memoirs, he knows he’s never going to be able to write them. He hates revealing a single thing about himself, is allergic to most emotions, and can’t imagine doing a good job of putting pen to paper.
And so in walks curvy, cheery, cute as heck ghostwriter Mabel Willicker, who knows just how to sunshine and sass her way into getting every little detail out of Alfie. They banter and bicker their way to writing his life story, both of them sure they’ll never be anything other than at odds.
But after their business arrangement is mistaken for a budding romance, the pair have to pretend to be an item for a public who’s ravenous for more of this Cinderella story. Or at least, it feels like it’s pretend—until each slow burn step in their fake relationship sparks a heat neither can control. Now they just have to decide: is this sizzling chemistry just for show? Or something so real it might just give them their fairytale ending?
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Look, I've had it bad for the girl with all the curves next door forever. She turned me down in high school and since I'm not a total douchecanoe, I lusted after her all by myself in my shower, and we stayed just friends for years. Now she's the adorkable librarian next door, and I'm the star quarterback of the best pro football team in the league. So when she asks me to be her fake date to her all-girls school reunion, I am totally down to show her off to the mean girls who bullied her back then so they can see just how incredible she is.

Everly Winters is perfectly happy to navigate life like a good neutral paint color: appreciated but unnoticed. That’s why she’s still a receptionist instead of exploring a career in art, why she lurks but never posts on the forums for her favorite makeover show, On the Plus Side, and why she’s crushing so hard on her forever-unattainable co-worker. When no one notices you, they can’t reject you or insist you’re too much. This plan is working perfectly until someone secretly nominates Everly for the next season of On the Plus Side.

Critic reviews
“The queen of delicious pining returns! This book is a hilarious and modern Cinderella story that feels like eating warm chocolate cake. I loved the secretly sweet but grouchy hero, the fabulous yet relatable heroine, and the proper northern perspective. Charlotte Stein is a must-buy author.”—New York Times bestselling author Talia Hibbert
"Charlotte Stein is sui generis as an author in all the most delightful ways. Her romances are funny as hell, absurdly hot, full of sincere emotion, and overflowing with endless imagination—but best of all, her authorial voice is entirely unique. Her books are her, down to their bones, and there’s no mistaking her writing for anyone else’s. When Grumpy Met Sunshine is the perfect example of how she can take a simple, fun premise—surly footballer meets sunny ghost writer tackling his memoirs—and make it entirely her own, mining it for all its absurdity, humor, knee-melting heat, and heartache. In short: If you want to know why Stein’s work helped inspire me to begin writing, look no further than this book. I can’t wait for legions of new readers to discover her stories.”—Olivia Dade, author of Spoiler Alert
“This book had me grinning like a fool from the first chapter. I’ve read a lot of grumps but Alfie—who lists among his hobbies—not being spoken to—takes the cake as THE ULTIMATE grump—the most charming, most likely to have a gooey inner center, most gone for the glorious sunshine heroine from the jump. I hope romance readers are ready, because I don’t think anyone has ever delivered on a slow burn quite like this.”—Rosie Danan, bestselling author of The Roommate

Story
Rose Barnes has got curves for days—and to Angus Drummond, the big, bearded contractor working on her new house, she's the perfect thorn in his side. Little does she know Angus is perturbed on a daily basis by his attraction to this cheery woman with her sunshiny enthusiasm, her kindness, and her beautiful body. Angus feels he has a debt to pay to the world and doesn't deserve love until he pays it. Best to keep his mind on his work and his hands to himself. But the more Rose sees of Angus's gruff thoughtfulness, and the more rusty laughter she surprises from him, the more she wants him too.

When Martin Krause arrives at Rose Owens's high school, she's determined to remain chilly with her new colleague. Unfriendly? Maybe. Understandable? Yes, since a loathsome administrator gave Rose's beloved world history classes to Martin, knowing it would hurt her. But keeping her distance from a man as warm and kind as Martin will prove challenging, even for a stubborn, guarded ice queen. Especially when she begins to see him for what he truly is: a man who's never been taught his own value. Martin could use a good teacher - and luckily, Rose is the best.

Everly Winters is perfectly happy to navigate life like a good neutral paint color: appreciated but unnoticed. That’s why she’s still a receptionist instead of exploring a career in art, why she lurks but never posts on the forums for her favorite makeover show, On the Plus Side, and why she’s crushing so hard on her forever-unattainable co-worker. When no one notices you, they can’t reject you or insist you’re too much. This plan is working perfectly until someone secretly nominates Everly for the next season of On the Plus Side.

Ever since she sat next to me in class and gave me death eyes, Willa Sutter's been on my shit list. Why she hates me, I don't know. What I do know is that Willa is the kind of chaos I don't need in my tidy life. She's the next generation of women's soccer. Wild hair, wilder eyes. Bee-stung lips that should be illegal. And a temper that makes the devil seem friendly. She's a thorn in my side, a menacing, cantankerous pain-in-the-ass who's turned our business mathematics course into a goddamn gladiator arena. I'll leave this war zone unscathed, coming out on top....

Look, I've had it bad for the girl with all the curves next door forever. She turned me down in high school and since I'm not a total douchecanoe, I lusted after her all by myself in my shower, and we stayed just friends for years. Now she's the adorkable librarian next door, and I'm the star quarterback of the best pro football team in the league. So when she asks me to be her fake date to her all-girls school reunion, I am totally down to show her off to the mean girls who bullied her back then so they can see just how incredible she is.

What I meant to do: quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own. What happens instead: my crush comes back to town when I’m at my most vulnerable.

If I had known how irrevocably my life was about to change, I would have walked the other way after talking to my coach. I should have taken any other route out of the Toronto Terror head office. But I didn’t and now–everything is different. At first I didn’t recognize the woman doing a victory dance down the hall when she thought no one was watching. Until she turned around. And that beautiful smile was aimed at me.

A cute summer romcom.
Might be better to read unsure but listening , all the online socials commentary was unpleasant to follow.
I fast forwarded a lot.
But the overall story was adorable.

Cute Feels Throughout
Mabel and Alfie are the sweetest! I ate this up and loved these two awkward flirts.
Maybe it's that I relate to Mabel's internal thoughts and blindness to how others could see her differently than she saw herself! *gasp*! lol or maybe I just happened to be in the right mindset to absorb this cutesy romcom. I loved it and let it take me along for the ride! Their fake relationship was fun and so obviously not fake. I loved how Mabel could pull info out of Alfie and his willingness to share the truth with her once he trusted she wasn't lying to him. Their complexities were completely relatable to me and while miscommunication occurs, it's not in the typical style... they get in their own way and don't believe the truth which causes their miscommunication.
Regardless, this was satisfying and the sexual tension was *chefs kiss* beautifully teasing.
I easily could have seen this with a couple more chapters getting further with the memoir and more spice... Maybe I just wanted more from them because I loved them! Anyway, I do wish we got more of the memoir story-writing and a longer ending with cute moments. I was irritated with how we got to the ending but fine with the end result...
4/5 for performance: The end of chapter texts/notes/emails threw me off at first and were hard to track who was saying what. Sometimes I couldn't quite tell who was speaking because the narrator had the slightest inflection change between Alfie and Mabel. Otherwise, beautiful and funny!
