About this listen
It's Hazel's 30th birthday and she has everything she's ever wanted: a kickass job, a dream apartment in New York City, and the perfect boyfriend - who's just days away from proposing. Hazel thinks she's happy but isn't quite ready to settle down. So when her most far-fetched fantasy enters the realm of the possible, shouldn't she drop everything to see it through?
The morning after her birthday, Hazel boards a flight to L.A., only to get the surprise of her life. When she's bumped up to first class, extra legroom and free drinks are absolutely the last things on her mind when she catches sight of her seatmate: her all-time biggest celebrity crush, rock star Finn Schiller! Only the night before, she'd confessed her infatuation with the gorgeous musician, and her boyfriend joked that she had a free pass if she ever met him. Hazel can't believe fate has actually thrown them together.
Even more unbelievable is that during the flight they genuinely connect. Finn likes her uncensored cursing and wicked sense of humor, and that she's unlike all of his groupies; Hazel likes his killer looks, ripped physique, and soulful music. But what started as a fantasy quickly becomes a real attraction, and after a dream date and taste of the rock-star life with Finn in L.A., Hazel is forced to examine the track her life is on. Indulging in a passionate affair with a rock star seems crazy - but could she ever forgive herself if she walked away from her wildest dream coming true? And is her wildest dream the stuff that happiness is made of?
A lively novel about a down-to-earth New York City girl who suddenly finds herself in a rock 'n' roll Cinderella fantasy, The Rock Star in Seat 3A is seasoned with Jill Kargman's signature wit and hilarious dialogue. This is a fairy-tale romance with a twist.

Alex Halford's rock star husband, Glenn, steals away in the middle of the night, leaving her with their two boys, a mountain of debt, and one person to turn to - his lifelong friend and bandmate, David Callahan. David helps Alex pick up the pieces of her shattered life, happy to have any time with the woman he's loved for 17 years. Every moment with her is ripe with opportunity, and every last idea running through his mind would destroy his brotherly bond with Glenn.

Story
The one unbreakable rule in the Man Code is this: no matter how beautiful, smart, and clever she is, do not fall in love with your best friend's woman. Yeah, so I screwed up big time when I fell for her. I might have let my sin of unrequited love slide, given everything that went down in the last few years, but Lulu just walked back into my life as vibrant as ever. And the cards are stacked against me once again. We're working together, and the last thing I want to do is mess up her life with a forbidden office romance now that she's finally got the fresh start she deserves.

In my defense, I was left alone with a bottle of single-malt and a lifelong penchant for protecting my baby sister. Still, that's no excuse to send 10 drunk-texts on why her hasty marriage would be a mistake. If only I had just texted my sister. But nope. I accidentally sent the message to her, her groom, and his super hot wingman. I also used the phrase “super hot wingman”, so I’d like to die now.

I've got everything it takes to make it in Tinseltown: confidence, charisma, and a killer chin. Now all I need is a chance. But Los Angeles is full of hot young hunks, and talent might not be enough to separate me from the cookie-cutter crowd. So I devise a wild scheme to get noticed. Pretend I’m someone I'm not—good-bye Will O’Connell of Cincinnati and hello Liam O’Connell of Dublin. "Liam" and his talent with accents is enough to get my foot in the door, but I never anticipated meeting the woman who has me more worried about keeping my foot out of my mouth.

So many quick quirps that it is hard to catch them
I was told by other authors and narrators that an author should not read their own book. That really wasn't the case here. Jill did a great job of reading her own work. However, she read it pretty fast. I know I could have slowed it down, but I didn't think of it at the time. I will most likely have to listen to it again. She is very entertaining and very quick and sharp with her writing (tongue). Great story. Not the way some may have thought it would end. I don't want to spoil it for someone else, but the ending was the best one possible and was actually HEA.

Couldn't finish the book! Narration was so bad.
I've listened to over 200 Audio Books. This is the first one that I just couldn't even finish because the narration is so bad!!
It's like someone is reading aloud in a class because it's their turn.. Dreary, boring, too fast. Grating.

Couldn't finish
I've listened to a lot of audiobooks but this was painful. The narration is monotonous, like someone is reading aloud in a class because it's their turn.. Dreary, boring, grating.
Also, the story itself is painful. I think the author was trying to sound smart & poetic but the result was just boring.

Monotone delivery
Would you try another book from Jill Kargman and/or Jill Kargman?
I have enjoyed books by this author. but will probably not buy another audio book delivered by the author herself, her delivery is monotone and boring and rushed, she does not seem to like what she has written or appears to be completely bored. You also need to enjoy explicit language..... not a book i would recommend.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Her delivery was flat and dreary
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment
