Heartthrob
Heart Duet, Book 1
By: Magan Vernon
Narrated by: Hannah Baker

I started this book on my way to work, and all day I kept thinking about the characters and when I could get back to listening! It sucked me in and held me hostage! Magan Vernon's Heartthrob is chock full of all the things I love to listen to. Rachel is a newly single mom with her daughter, Arianna, that is not your typical girlie girl. This is the first thing that caught me. She let Rachel be herself. When she meets the father of Arianna's best friend, things get sticky. Not only is he the actor she had a crush on as a teen, but he is the man she is forced to work with at the school bake sale. These two clash immediately. And our enemies to lovers plot begins. Vernon had a spectacular vision as she wrote this story. It's got so much going for it. The new mom working to build her self confidence, the father with an attitude and a daughter who doesn't easily fit in all create some humor as well as bringing real life issues we can easily relate to. It's easy to listen to and will have you falling in love.

Hannah Baker is a new narrator to me and she is fabulous. I enjoyed her voices, and the antics she brings to the characters. From the well dressed, classy mom, to Rachel trying to find her new normal, she let's us in and has us enjoy the ride.
