One-Star Romance by Laura Hankin
🎧 Audiobook

Natalie is a struggling writer, and Rob is an up and coming academic. They don’t have much in common, but they’re forced to spend a lot of time together because of their respective best friends, Gabby and Angus. But despite their differences, they have chemistry! Until Natalie learns that Rob is responsible for a one-star review of Natalie’s debut novel. As their paths continue to cross over the years, Natalie and Rob might have more in common than they originally thought.

This is a perfect book and an even better listen with author Laura Hankin’s pitch-perfect narration. If you want a romance that’s equal parts charming and real, you won’t be disappointed with this one. I highly recommend the audiobook version for the author’s narration that perfectly complements the story.

Alex Aster’s adult debut follows a screenwriter and a tech CEO as they go from lovers to enemies back to lovers.

Elle needs to buckle down, defeat her writer’s block, and write the screenplay for her next hit. Willing to do whatever it takes to find inspiration, Elle ends up at her sister’s swanky apartment in New York City with just the summer months to get her words onto the page. Inspiration strikes when Elle realizes her new next-door neighbor is tech-boy billionaire, Parker, who she almost hooked up with (and now loathes) a few years ago. Fueled by dislike, Elle’s writing hits a streak, so she agrees to keep hanging out with Parker and pretend to be his girlfriend while his company goes through an acquisition.

With a ticking clock and a fake relationship, surely Elle and Parker are doomed before they get started... right?

Her plans are slightly disrupted when she finds the town recluse, Levi, also crashing at her parents’ house while they’re away. Levi agrees to help Georgie check off some of the goals from the diary and as they spend more and more time together, Georgie’s priorities shift from her list to the man next to her.
