I absolutely, 100% adore this book! Now that I’ve read and listened to it, I love it even more! It is witty, flirtatious, and full of fun.

The narrator did a fabulous job bringing the characters to life! Her portrayals of the house party were especially wonderful.

Cora Atherton has loved Oliver Cartwell for a decade. Will he ever see her as anything other than his little sister’s best friend? Probably not. It is time to move on.

Oliver was so tired. Tired of London. Tired of participating in the same old antics. Tired of everything. Something needs to change.

When they unexpectedly attend the same small house party, what do the fates have in store?

Read this if you like: Going Solo, Pining for Another, Turning Over a New Leaf, New Perspectives, House Parties, Protective Parents, Finding Love, Testing Your Limits, Fighting for the Future, Believing Dreams Come True, Finding Peace in Nature,Standing on Your Own Two Feet

This is a top read of the year for me! I highly, highly recommend it!

Content: mentions of a questionable past, pranks at a party, overbearing parent, romance- kisses only.

I received a complimentary copy; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I came into this book with little to no knowledge of the story and characters. Alene Wecker took a straightforward storyline and made it deep, engrossing, engaging, and complex!

Noah Wall has done a fabulous job of bringing the characters to life! Each character’s voice matched their personality and country of origin. Her interpretation made the journey beautiful and allowed for the listeners emotions to be recognized and felt. I will absolutely listen to other books narrated by her!

Elizabeth, a recent widow and expectant mother, is waiting to see if her child brings security or financial ruin. She has always done her part for the family: marrying well, taking care of the accounts and household, as well as being a proper older sister. Love is and has always been transactional for her.

Lottie, Elizabeth’s 17 year old sister and diamond of the first water, is a true romantic. She cannot fathom entering marriage unless true love is involved regardless of what her mother says. She is kind, thoughtful, self-less, and genuine. Being barraged by suitors is NOT what she wants. Especially when bad poetry is involved.

When a marriage of convenience is settled upon- both sisters are resigned to their fate. Which will win out in the end: a marriage of convenience or true love?

Listen to this book if you like:
🪶 Marriage of Convenience vs True Love
🪶 A Meddlesome Mother
🪶 A (Somewhat) Friendless Foreigner
🪶 Falling for Your Sister’s Betrothed
🪶 Unexpected Quarantine
🪶 Forced Proximity
🪶 Matters of the Heart
🪶 Self-discovery
🪶 Multi-POV

If you are looking for a book with complex characters, an unexpected storyline, and moments that make you feel emotions (laughter and tears), this is the book for you!

Thank you to the author of the advanced copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
