The topic came up because one woman felt like the book she'd read wasn't a romance novel because it focused too heavily on the protagonist's relationship with her sister; I'd felt like the plot with the sister was secondary to the romance with the handsome fella. But it also got me thinking because I'd also recently read a book that was marketed as a romance novel but whose primary emotional core came from the protagonist's relationship with her sister. And funny enough, that same basic theme came up again in Thank You For Listening, which was a romance novel that fell short of my expectations because the love story wasn't the primary focus. Full circle, y'all.

Thank you for always being there to listen to my crazy ideas and talk me through the projects I’m working on. You are my best friend and I’d be lost without you. To start with, I listened to the audiobook, and HIGHLY recommend this format if you plan to read the book. This is absolutely a five-star performance. To my recollection, I have never listened to a Julia Whelan audiobook before, and I will certainly be seeking out more of her work. The audiobook experience isn’t just auxiliary to the reading process: the entire plot is set in the world of audiobook recording, and there are all kinds of insider tidbits into how professional narration works that are themselves worth the price of admission. Because the narrator is also the author, it seems pretty clear that she set herself some deliberate narration challenges as she wrote, and she pulls them all off with aplomb. If your presentation has terrible news, a presentation thank you will be insensitive and inappropriate. Thank you for giving me the time to vent about a crazy day at work. Just talking about it helped me so much. I’m so glad you are always there for me. Don’t be too brief – Thank the person for their message and mention something else that was interesting or important about the conversation.How can I thank you for the many hours we have spent having a great time? All I have to do is open my mouth, and you know exactly what to talk about to put me at ease. Thanks for that! Some of the times, when saying thank you for listening to my presentation is appropriate and essential are: For Sewanee Chester, being an audiobook narrator is a long way from her old dreams, but the days of being a star on film sets are long behind her. She’s found success and satisfaction from the inside of a sound booth and it allows her to care for her beloved, ailing grandmother. When she arrives in Las Vegas last-minute for a book convention, Sewanee unexpectedly spends a whirlwind night with a charming stranger. Thank you for always listening to me. Talking to you is a very important part of my day. I don’t know what I’d do if we were not friends.

Thank you for always listening to me. I really appreciate it since sometimes I am not the nicest or sweetest person to be around. Thank you for loving me regardless of who I am.This is the story of two audiobook narrators who fall in love before they really know who the other one is in real life. It had absolutely everything I love in contemporary romances. A lot of flirty texts, believable characters, a relatable, hilarious and heart-breaking female main character. When one of my favorite narrators has a new book, I'm more than invested in listening to it. I loved My Oxford Year and I was more than ready to read something else by Julia Whelan.
