Not Just Gal Pals by Elizabeth Luly, brought to life by the ever-talented Abby Craden, is the perfect audiobook to cozy up with this fall. This charming sapphic rom-com set in the picturesque town of Sapphire Springs delivers a delightful mix of humor, heart, and chemistry that will leave you smiling long after the last chapter.
Jenny Lynton, a reluctant influencer dealing with a PR hiccup, returns to her hometown to lay low, only to find herself navigating her undeniable connection with Sapphire Springs’ adorably awkward doctor, Blake Mitchell. The chemistry between them is palpable, and Blake’s high-school crush on Jenny creates some hilariously awkward yet endearing moments. Their journey from old acquaintances to something much more is heartwarming and filled with just the right amount of romantic tension.
Abby Craden’s narration is stellar, as always. She masterfully captures the charm of Jenny and Blake, breathing life into their personalities and the quirky, close-knit town of Sapphire Springs. Craden’s performance makes the small-town atmosphere feel vibrant and cozy, perfect for setting the autumn mood.
This story is everything you could want in a low-angst HEA romance. It’s sweet, funny, and brimming with feel-good moments. The added layers of humor, small-town antics, and a touch of forced proximity as Jenny and Blake team up for a bachelorette party make this rom-com sparkle. And the fall vibes? Absolute perfection. I could almost smell the cider and hear the crunch of leaves while listening.
If you’re looking for a charming, sapphic romance that feels like a warm hug on a crisp fall day, Not Just Gal Pals is the book for you. Elizabeth Luly and Abby Craden make the perfect pair in delivering this light-hearted gem that’s guaranteed to leave you with a happy heart. Highly recommend!

And Jenny? She never had the first clue that Blake had feelings for her. She always assumed that awkwardness was because Blake didn’t like her. Little does she know!
