⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Maybe This Time” by Cara Bastone is a fun, heartwarming rom-com that mixes time travel with a sweet love story, all brought to life by a fantastic cast including Zoë Chao and Noah Reid. If you’re looking for a feel-good listen, this Audible Original has it all.

A solar flare catapults June Flint, a high school English teacher, 85 years into the future, sparking the start of the plot. Trapped in an unfamiliar future, June is far away from her job, her mom, and her favorite pizza. The only glimmer of hope is a strange phone signal that connects her with Mikey Shannon, her least favorite coworker. In order to get help, June must now rely on Mikey to befriend her past self. 

Cara Bastone does an amazing job blending humor and heartfelt moments. The chemistry between Chao and Reid is flawless, making you root for June and Mikey as they navigate this time-twisting romance. The dialogue is sharp; the characters are lovable, and the plot keeps you hooked.

“Maybe This Time” is more than just a time travel tale—it’s about finding love and friendship in the most unexpected places. It’s a delightful listen that left me with a big smile. If you’re into romantic comedies with a twist, you won’t want to miss this one!
