About this listen
Mortified by her 'Not Quite Right' brain, she hides away inside 6 Salmon Street, the family home that her formidable grandmother Dorothy has abandoned for a more convivial life at the Western Retreat Retirement Village. But when Phoebe begins receiving mysterious postcards in the mail, she slowly, but surely, finds herself being pulled back out into the world and towards Monty, the sweet postal clerk.
Across town, Suze, a university student with a high distinction in study avoidance, is clinging to the hope that the neglectful J might actually be her boyfriend. When J's attention turns to Ky, it sets Suze on a path that leads her to 6 Salmon Street and Phoebe Cotton.
Together with Suze and Monty, Phoebe goes on a mission to solve the mystery of the postcards but ends up finding much, much more, including acceptance, strength and love.
I found this gem through the James and Ashley Stay at Home Podcast. As someone who also lives with misophonia, it immediately moved to the top of my TBR pile. The deal was sealed when I saw that the audiobook was read by the same narrator who read ‘Sunbathing’ by Isobel Beech: Claire Lovering. I think she’s my favourite audiobook narrator (alongside Marian Keyes when she reads her own books).
Kind of, Sort of, Maybe, but Probably Not is quirky, Australian, and has some pretentious art students and a neighbour who won’t let you leave without a shot of Ouzo (not a word of a lie; I think I met the real-life embodiment that character at the hairdressers the other day). Imbi must have based them on people she's met in real life. Anyway, I loved it for many of the same reasons. I also loved ‘Sunbathing’. It’s intimate and charming. It’s a true, cosy mystery, and I give it a big thumbs up.
Cosy and Fun!
