About this listen
Some believe that special someone is out there just waiting to be found. Jorie Andolini is one of those people and has spent a lot of time envisioning that moment. She bumps into a woman at a grocery store, the woman drops a can of peas, Jorie picks it up, their eyes meet, and two souls connect. But it's actually a wasted trip to New York, a snowstorm, and a canceled flight home that puts her in the path of Lena Vaughn.
Lena has found fault in every man she's ever dated. Her dream of finding a husband is dwindling with every year that passes. Despite what her friends say, Lena doesn't believe she has a fear of commitment, she simply hasn't found a man she wanted to commit to. It comes as a surprise that in fact it is a woman who stirs those desires. For Lena, it's not really a matter of sexuality, it's just Jorie.
Travel the road to happiness with Jorie and Lena. Two crazy old women, meddling friends, and cattitude are just some sights you'll see along the way.

I have yet to read a story from RA that I have not thoroughly enjoyed. This is probably the best so far.Who was your favorite character and why?
The characters are all lovable but Lena probably is the most likeable.Which scene did you most enjoy?
Definitely when Lena throws up on Jorie!!If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Just perfect...Brilliant as always

Okay, I'm being extremely harsh right now. Let me get this...queer. I did enjoy this book & don't regret buying it. As the title says, it was solid. Robin is a good writer & you know what your getting when you read or listen to her books. Humour & endearing characters. Granted, all the books I've listened to are extremely similar to each other, but you don't really expect anything drastically different when you buy a Robin Alexander book.
However, all of that said, I didn't fully connect with this story or the characters & didn't laugh as much as other RA books. Now, this may be because, as I've said, the storyline is similar to what I've heard before & the jokes just aren't as funny the 4th time around, or if the narrator just didn't convey the emotions & intent well enough. The narrator wasn't horrendous, I've heard far worse, but she wasn't brilliant either. There were quite a few times I got confused about who was talking or who's POV it was at that moment, as Lisa's accents & dialect wasn't very distinctive. It would be interesting to see if I would have thought the same about the story had I read it with my eyeballs.
Solid, but not as spectacular as I'd expected
