Battle of the Bookstores by Ali Brady (Audiobook)
This was a fun book to listen to and a great love story. I’m not one for romance novels but I do love rom coms. They are light, fun, and the perfect way to escape daily life for a bit. And this cover is fantastic – so bright and the bookstore in the background. I would definitely grab it to look at if I was book shopping.
To begin with I adored the setting. Two bookstores side by side that carry not only very different genres but have two very different managers. Josie’s focus is serious literature while Ryan sells only romance novels. As you can imagine this puts them on a differing of opinion on what constitutes a good book. The big blow comes when they learn the new owner of the store has decided to combine both stores and consequently needs only one manager. Josie and Ryan are forced into a competition to decide who that will be. Needless to say the two butt heads immediately and it’s so funny. It’s utter craziness and the only thing keeping Josie sane is a friend she’s made in an online book forum. It is so very reminiscent of You’ve Got Mail but the modern version. As the story unfolds and Josie and Ryan are thrown together they realize that their rivalry may be of the more romantic kind than either of them could have imagined.
The audiobook was fantastic! It is read by Karissa Vacker who I love listening to and Brandon Francis who I haven’t listened to before but he does have a nice, easy voice to listen to. The two of them brought Josie and Ryan to life in the best way. They brought out their personalities to a tee so by the time I was done with the book I felt like they were old friends. I always enjoy an audio that has multiple narrators. I think it just adds more to the story and my enjoyment of it.
If you’re looking for a summer read on the beach or out in the backyard, Battle of the Bookstores is perfect for that! I loved this one!
