Thank You For Listening : A Novel

From the author of My Oxford Year, Julia Whelan’s uplifting novel tells the story of a former actress turned successful audiobook narrator—who has lost sight of her dreams after a tragic accident—and her journey of self-discovery, love, and acceptance when she agrees to narrate one last romance novel.

For Sewanee Chester, being an audiobook narrator is a long way from her old dreams, but the days of being a star on film sets are long behind her. She’s found success and satisfaction from the inside of a sound booth and it allows her to care for her beloved, ailing grandmother. When she arrives in Las Vegas last-minute for a book convention, Sewanee unexpectedly spends a whirlwind night with a charming stranger.

On her return home, Sewanee discovers one of the world’s most beloved romance novelists wanted her to perform her last book—with Brock McNight, the industry’s hottest, most secretive voice. Sewanee doesn’t buy what romance novels are selling—not after her own dreams were tragically cut short—and she stopped narrating them years ago. But her admiration of the late author, and the opportunity to get her grandmother more help, makes her decision for her.

As Sewanee begins work on the book, resurrecting her old romance pseudonym, she and Brock forge a real connection, hidden behind the comfort of anonymity. Soon, she is dreaming again, but secrets are revealed, and the realities of life come crashing down around her once more.

If she can learn to risk everything for desires she has long buried, she will discover a world of intimacy and acceptance she never believed would be hers.

I was in love almost instantly, the way Nick approached Sewanee in Vegas got me giggling and rooting for him instantly. And then when Brock started to subtly flirt with her... I was in love again! I was listening and kept thinking that Julia Whelan is really a master of her craft. I loved her different voices for the characters. The chapters were too long, the third-act breakup happened and I didn't like it though I completely understood why it had to happen that way. I also felt that it dragged a little bit. I also wanted to hear about the unforgettably sexy night in Vegas, and I didn't, I was disappointed. Nevertheless, I loved the characters. I loved the audiobook. And I really did have the best time listening to this story.
