3.5⭐
Genre ~ women's fiction
Setting ~ California
Publication date ~ March 19, 2024
Est page Count ~ 268 (39 chapters)
Audio length ~ 6 hours 54 minutes
Narrator ~ Julia Whelan
POV ~ single 1st
Featuring ~ magical realism, short chapters, slow burn, very minimal steamage
Dahpne (33) takes us on her dating journey's, whether they last 1 night, 3 weeks or 3 months, each one's end time was already written in the stars, or on a postcard that is.
Even though she dates a lot it's pretty light on the romance and more about her journey to find the one. The dates are more as a flashback and not as they're happening, too. I don't have any complaints about the characters as they're all pretty likable.
Overall, it was fast paced, lighthearted in parts and heavier in others with a good amount of wit. I actually laughed quite a few times. I even shed a quick tear at the end when she was having a heart to heart with her father.
Little niggle ~ I could have went without the description of everyone's outfits just about every time someone new came on page.
Narration notes:
I did not listen to this one, but am just giving the info above for reference.

Wonderful review, Heather. :) I agree. The repeated descriptions of outfits can get a bit too much.

Beautiful review, Heather. It looks like a story that has a heart and makes you cry.
Lol. There were so many outfit descriptions. I think that was an interesting way of giving us a sense of place. It was fun to see that leather jacket pop up years later in a different context. Julia Whelan would be the perfect voice for Daphne. Fabulous review, Heather!
Great review, Heather. Glad you enjoyed this overall.
Fair and balanced review, Heather! 💘 I'm glad there are some elements that are enjoyable in this one...I have it coming up very soon!
Sounds good enough for this genre. Nice review, Heather!❤️ I'd hate the excessive outfit descriptions as well.

Totally agree about the outfits! Also saying the exact same thing twice, just adding in a word or two.
Great review, Heather! I was thinking about passing this one up and then went back and saw who the narrator is—one of my favorites, so I think I will give it a try! 😊💖
