About this listen
When Noah Wilson first encounters the quirky, opinionated and very beautiful Angel Fallon, his world is turned upside down. It's clear she's not his normal type, but Noah can't stop thinking about her - which doesn't bode well for the blind date he's already late for.
Convinced by his friend (and self-professed dating expert) Marlon that thirteen dates is all you need to fall in love, Noah decides to give it a try with Angel. They should be incompatible: she's impulsive and he's a planner; he wants to settle down and she doesn't 'do' relationships - or anything, for that matter - the way Noah is used to. But there's something about Angel, and Noah can't shake the idea that all they need is twelve more dates.
Despite some near-disasters involving rock climbing, saddle sores and jellied eels, it seems his plan may actually work. But even if they do reach the magic number, can that really mean they'll just fall into their happily-ever-after?

It starts out a bit guy-lit and I thought I could see where it was going. Girl meets boy, falls in love, overcomes problems, lives happily ever after. But this had more to offer, quite a bit more to offer, in fact.
Noah and Angel first meet at Starbucks, an awkward encounter typical of most of Noah's meetings with women he fancies. He's convinced she's the one and all his previous dates were just building up to this.
The 13 dates of the title refers to Noah's friend's conviction that it takes 13 dates to fall in love. This becomes Noah's target - if he can just persuade her to go out with him 13 times, then she will be besotted.
There are some wonderful characters, especially Mary, the elderly woman who rents a room to Noah. Then there are Noah's lovely parents and Angel's awful ones, and the artist who is showing his works in Noah's art gallery.
Written from the man's perspective, which makes this an unusual read, it also has a more serious side. I can't say much about this as it would be a spoiler, but it made the book a more thoughtful read.
The narration by James Langton was spot on, for both male and female voices and I was sorry to say goodbye to everyone when the book ended.
I found a book that made me laugh!!
