About this listen

'First love at its finest' JASMINE GUILLORY
'Five stars for Audre & Bash are Just Friends' MEG CABOT

MEET AUDRE. Junior class president. Debate team captain. Unofficial student therapist. Desperately in need of a good time.

MEET BASH. Mysterious new senior. Everybody's crush. Tall, floppy, great taste in jewellery. King of having a good time.

It's the last day of school at Cheshire Prep, Brooklyn's elite academy - and Audre Mercy-Moore's life is a mess. Her dad cancelled her annual summer visit to his Malibu beach house. Now? She's stuck in a claustrophobic apartment with her mom, stepdad, and one-year-old sister (aka the Goblin Baby).

Under these conditions, she'll never finish writing her self-help book - i.e., the key to landing a spot at her dream university.

Cut to Bash Henry! Audre hires him to be her 'fun consultant'. His job? To help her complete the Experience Challenge - her list of five wild dares designed to give her juicy book material. She'll get inspo; he'll get paid. Everybody wins.

He isn't boyfriend material. And she's not looking for one. Can they stay professional despite their obvious connection?

SCORCHING-HOT SUMMER. SCORCHING-HOT CHEMISTRY. But Audre and Bash can't forget - they're just friends.

Critic Reviews

Audre and Bash are first love at its finest. I adored their love story! It's full of butterflies, yearning, joy, angst, discovery, confusion, and sheer perfection
Blossoming love, blazing chemistry, a buzzy Brooklyn summer adventure paired with Tia Williams' signature wit and dreamy prose make her debut YA romance your next favorite thing! Tia has done it again!
Five stars for Audre & Bash Are Just Friends . . . I loved this funny yet sweet story
As the summer months heat up so does the spark between Audre and Bash, full of summer fun romp and first love. Tia fans will be cheering our anti-romantic heroine on as she finds her happily ever after in this super charming young adult romance!
A heart-melting story of self-acceptance and self-actualization
You can't help but adore Audre and Bash and the spark between them. Audre & Bash Are Just Friends was such a delightful read and you'll definitely find yourself laughing and kicking your feet as you dive into their adventure. The writing is filled with so much love and care, making it the perfect romance story. This is hands down the YA romance of the year!
A giddy, warm read that's as sweet and all-consuming as your first love - I was so happy to hang out with my favourite book niece Audre again! Smart, ambitious (precocious) girls deserve that soft gooey love too, and I thank Tia Williams for reminding us of that time and time again, in her funny, romantic, swoony hands
A super-summery YA rom com . . . . A flirty, entertaining read that should hit a nerve with lots of teens
I adored this sensual, passionate genre bender of a love story and know it'll stay with me forever
