About this listen

From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a new stand-alone novel.

At first, my neighbor Deacon frustrated me. Sure, he was great-looking and friendly. But our walls were thin, and on occasion, he’d bring women to his place and keep me awake while he “entertained” them. As a single mother to an infant, I didn’t appreciate it. So, finally, it was my turn.

When my daughter wouldn’t stop wailing one night, Mr. Manwhore came knocking on my door. Miraculously, at the sound of his voice, Sunny stopped crying. And when he held her...she eventually fell asleep in his arms.

Deacon was rough on the exterior, but apparently on the inside? Mr. Single-and-Ready-to-Mingle was a baby whisperer.

After that night, we became friends. He’d go for coffee runs. Come over to chat. Normal friend stuff.

But over time, our conversations ran deeper. We got closer. Until one night we crossed the line.

Our friendship turned into a complicated mess.

I’d gone and fallen for a guy who’d sworn off commitment and kids. I knew Deacon was starting to care for me too, even though Sunny and I didn’t fit into any plan he’d ever imagined for himself.

He was wrong for me - so wrong that I’d dubbed him the “anti-boyfriend”.

Then why did I wish more than anything that I could be the one woman to change him?

Great read

I found this book very funny at times and a real nice read. What I liked was how the timeline jumped a lot, and didn’t drag on.
Always love listening to Sebastian York and Andi Arndt, and Penelope never fails hers reader/listeners. Worth the credit

Mediocre

Narration was amazing as usual with these two, but sadly the storyline was just ok. it wasn't very funny nor was it sad, it just ambled along to the end which was expected.

if you use a credit to listen fair enough but personally I wouldn't spend $15 on this book
