I love this book. I'm obsessed with audiobooks so it was fun to read a book about audiobook narrators.
this book is very funny and gut wrenching at the same time.

It was so easy to fall in love with the characters. also Julia Whelans performance was amazing as usual. it was so fun hearing her play with all the different accents.

"Thank You for Listening" by Julia Whelan is an absolute gem that perfectly blends the best elements of a romcom with rich, engaging storytelling. The witty banter and charming dialogue had me laughing out loud, while the beautifully crafted characters drew me in with their unique stories of tragedy and triumph.

Whelan masterfully intertwines two love stories: one heartwarming relationship between the main character and her grandmother, which adds emotional depth, and another romantic connection blossoming between colleagues who start as strangers. This dual narrative not only keeps the plot dynamic but also showcases different facets of love—both familial and romantic.

After hearing Whelan’s voice read the words of so many, it was truly lovely to experience her own writing in her voice. She ambitiously navigates multiple tones, accents, genders, and ages throughout the audiobook, making each character come alive in a delightful way.

Overall, "Thank You for Listening" is a captivating read that resonates with its humor, heartfelt moments, and memorable characters. It’s a five-star experience that will touch anyone who believes in the power of love and connection!
