About this listen

 A hilarious, witty, and warm sapphic rom-com about a woman whose life implodes when she loses her job and fiancée in the same week, and decides to join a book club to change things up. But when she finds herself falling for one of the club members, and that person is her best friend’s ex, her troubles have only just begun.

Ella Baker is tired of being an afterthought in her own life. First, her fiancée dumps her six days before the wedding. Then her family jets off on a world tour—without her. And just when she thinks it can’t get worse, her longtime employer forgets to lay her off...That is, until now. It’s time for a reinvention, starting with something totally out of character: joining a book club. Thank God for her best friend, Rachel, who’s always there with popcorn and wine. But when a kiss from a smart, gorgeous, and maddeningly irresistible book club member leaves Ella breathless, she’s stunned to learn the woman who just turned her world upside down is the very ex who broke Rachel’s heart.

Max Wyler doesn’t believe in forever. As a divorce mediator, she’s built a career on helping people walk away amicably. The book club is just an escape—until new member Ella Baker arrives, all sunshine and sass, making Max question everything she thought she knew about love. There’s just one problem: Ella’s best friend is Max’s worst mistake. Which means those pretty blue eyes? Completely off-limits.

Sadly this was my first Melissa Brayden novel and I'm kicking myself for waiting too long to start. Grateful that I have a new favourite author and plenty more of her books to dive into. Her writing is funny, engaging, good character depth and thankfully unhurried spice scenes
