Can a long shot bring love to a couple of lonely hearts?

Joni Fisher is facing economic ruin. The once successful advice column she runs with her mother is on the brink of cancellation, and it’ll take a miracle to turn things around. Joni’s last-ditch effort to save her job and preserve her mother’s legacy is The Love Project, a web series she’s developing to bring the Help Me Henrietta franchise alive for a new generation. All she needs is a willing victim...er, star.

Hope Alvarez dreams of falling in love, but she’s always suspected she’s different. Physical attraction is a foreign language to her. After her only prospect for a meaningful relationship falls through, Hope has to face the fact that she’s completely hopeless when it comes to love. Can her favorite advice columnist, Henrietta, save her from a lonely future?

As the series gets underway, fans swoon for the lovable yet unlucky Hope, and they’re not the only ones. Joni is smitten, too. But she’s been down that road before, vowing never again to fall for a straight woman who will keep her forever in the friend zone. Except, what if she’s been reading the situation all wrong? Helping Hope make sense of her identity might save Joni’s job, but will it also bring her love?

Best-selling lesbian fiction authors T.B. Markinson and Miranda MacLeod have written a touching slow-burn romance about love striking when least expected.

Hope has been unlucky and disappointed with love. this beautiful story of a closed bud unable to bloom, is so sad but true to life, the characters are well defined, thier is humour, and my heart melted when Hopes' rose bloomed. excellently narrated as always by miss Prince. side note, it amazed me recently how many stupid men don't or worse won't go down, no wonder so many women over 30 turn to feminine relationships, there is nothing better, and to give the first is a honour I had just once, but the most memorable.
wonderful bookk ladies

In full disclosure, I received a free code for this audiobook from the narrator, but this has not affected my views in any way.

The story is sweet and shows all the hallmarks of a true romantic comedy, with a twist - one character is demi-sexual. This angle was explored with honestly, intelligence, sensitivity and humility. The authors have a great representation of someone who doesn’t fit into the heteronormative narrative of society and how this can make them feel “other” and “broken”.

My only bum note for this book is to know your Golden Girls a bit better, ladies as I think you meant Sophia and not Rose. ;-)

Sweet, not Golden

There is certainly no need to feel blue with this romcom of a story. When those who give love advice could do with a healthy dose themselves you get the most bizare situations along with little story of self discovery.

The Love Project is oddly entertaining. It revolves around one character who aside from being demisexual, is also socially inept and completely clueless when it comes to reading romantic subtext. Because of how she is, Hope has trouble finding love and reading people. And a lot of humour is derived from that when Hope puts herself out there by participating in an online web series that helps people find love. Hope is absolutely adorable and the co-authors did a fantastic job making her such an endearing character. And Lori Prince has the most perfect deadpan voice for Hope. 

Joni's own awareness of how easily she falls for the wrong type of women reins her in quite a bit, making her tempo / pace perfect for Hope. No doubt she understands Hope inside out which is rare because nobody understands Hope. But I have serious doubts about the web series itself that is used to save Joni's mother's once successful but now declining love advice column. I can't help but wonder whether it would have gotten Hope any closer to finding the right partner because most times it just seems set up to make Hope look silly for the viewership.

I didn't mind it one bit that this turned out to be a slowburn. Hope needs to go slow obviously, in order to figure out her own feelings. And she's an intriguing character on her own. Besides, the co-authors more than make up for it towards the end. So there's that. And I was entertained by the different family dynamics on both sides. Joni's family is relatable, Hope's family is hilarious. 

This is a really great audiobook to pick up especially if you need a good laugh.
