About this listen

Lincoln Cunningham doesn't do relationships. Mostly because he learned in college that he doesn't do them well. Translation: book smart guys focused on learning the art and science of vineyard tending aren't always girl smart.

Lincoln's mother, however, isn't so sure. Her oldest son found his match, and now her sights are set on Linc. Why she insists on setting him up at the Paint it Pal pottery shop is beyond anyone's grasp.

Hannah Delacourt never dreamed of a life spent handing customers ceramic monkeys and pots of paint and explaining the inner workings of a kiln. But she also never intended to spend a year trying to figure out whether the vineyard she inherited should be sold.

When the same cute guy comes in to paint on date after miserable date, she figures out what's going on pretty quickly. He slips her an SOS and she texts him to help him out of the latest painful date. When he texts later to thank her, they hatch the perfect scheme.

She'll pretend to be his girlfriend while he helps her figure out if her grapes are worth keeping. Everyone wins, right? But what happens when you fall in love when you're texting with your fake boyfriend? Worse, what do you do when he's clueless?

performance was good, but the story had its issues.
Very quickly our couple gets together connects and seems to understand and have empathy for each other's history.
One communication issue is dealt with quickly, and then it descends into a bizarre situation incongruent with the first act. I admit I didn't love Hannah in that second act, she ghosts our poor confused H and it appears she didn't even try to connect with her aunt via email or telephone even if she couldn't visit but was oh so desperate for family. The ex return made very little sense.
But brief enough I got through.

Good 1st act
