About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Talk and Business or Pleasure

Dani Dorfman is looking for an escape. She's not expecting to land a new job to take her from Los Angeles to Amsterdam, but after recently getting dumped and fired, she's determined to make this a fresh start.

But at the end of her first week, the big move is looking like an even bigger mistake. Especially when she crashes her bike into Wouter van Leeuwen, her handsome Dutch exchange student from ten years ago. Her first love, until he inexplicably ghosted her . . .

Wouter is at a crossroads of his own - in order to inherit his family's gorgeous canalside home he needs to get married. And when Dani's job falls apart she needs a visa.

Dani is certain Amsterdam is just temporary.

But could the charming quirks of her new city, and a second chance at love, become her reasons to stay?

As a Dutch listener, this audiobook had me SCREAMING—for all the wrong reasons. The mispronunciations? Don’t get me started on that. The accents? What did we do to deserve this?

I love a good second chance romance, and the story itself had potential—playful chemistry, a juicy little twist with the marriage-for-convenience trope, and some genuinely hot moments. But the narration kind of flopped for me. It was like watching a beautifully shot film on a cracked screen.

Lost in translation (and not in a good way)

As a Dutch person, the dialogue from the MMC was horrible. His accent was all over the place when he was speaking English and the Dutch words were almost not Dutch anymore. This could've been better. I did like the story though, it was cute, fun and enjoyable. I finished this in a couple of hours.

4 stars.

The narrator has a great voice and is able to narrate with a lot of passion, which is great, but for the love of my ears, stop shouting and whispering all the time. It’s impossible to wear headphones and listen to this at one volume.

The story itself was disappointing compared to RLS’ other books. Stale as crackers.
