I like to listen to audiobooks as I use my elliptical. It is a great way to pass the time when you are tired of reruns on TV. RoomHate by Penelope Ward was my latest choice. My library has an app called Hoopla that allows audio lending and that's where I found this. I had no idea what it was about, but the narrator's voice passed the initial "listen test" so I gave it a chance. (Yes, I have stopped audiobooks if I can't stand the voice of the narrator.) The story is about Amelia and Justin, two childhood friends who parted ways only to be thrown together as adults when they jointly inherit a house. The dialogue is cute, the flashbacks to Amelia and Justin as children are wonderful, and there is a baby! I mean who doesn't like a baby? Apparently Justin, as this is one of the conflicts between the two main characters. Amelia is a mother to Bea, and Justin isn't sure he wants to be a parent (although he does actually like Bea.) I enjoyed listening to this but I think that's because I wasn't expecting more than an entertainment. I will plan on looking for more by this author because my elliptical awaits!
