Will They, Won't They? by Portia MacIntosh
5.0
What a gem of a Hoopla find. The description first intrigued me, where we follow Emmy Palmer who's a star in the biggest fantasy series on TV.
It does start off a bit awkwardly, but once past that scene the book becomes unexpectedly more. When her granddad passes at the same time that a scandal strikes, Emmy returns to her hometown where her family life is complicated, entertaining and wholesome.
The MC's thought process and quips remind me of Hannah Waddingham, with the memories of her grandad having quotes similar to Ted Lasso. During the holidays I miss my grandma terribly and I've been finding myself both chuckling and crying over these parts of the book.
Then there's heaps of behind the scenes of being a celebrity and the rom-com part is very unique and genuinely funny. The overall heart of the story really makes it a special book in this genre. I'm so excited to read more from this author.
This just might just have become my favorite audiobook of 2021.
