About this listen

 Opposites attract when a free-spirited American singer-songwriter with ADHD teams up with a charming Irishman to revitalize his family's pub in the next heartfelt romance from the author of Luck and Last Resorts.

Raine Hart is used to the challenges of living with ADHD. It’s why she ditched her life in Boston to busk around Europe as a traveling musician. No boss. No schedule. No one to disappoint but herself. But when a careless mistake in Ireland leaves her unable to perform, she sees no other option but to give up her nomadic life.

Since inheriting the Local, Jack Dunne has wanted to make the pub his own. But the baggage of running a family business and the intrusive thoughts that stem from his OCD make changing things a challenge.

Over a pint with handsome, tattooed Jack, Raine accidentally insults him and the pub. Instead of taking offense, Jack, impressed by her vision of what the pub could be, offers her a job bringing it to life.

But when Raine and Jack develop feelings for one another their opposite lifestyles won’t accommodate, it becomes clear the pub isn’t the only thing that needs reinventing. As the end of their business collaboration draws near, they’ll have to find a way past the limits they’ve placed on themselves or let go of a love that could last a lifetime.

I adored this book. It’s so special in its simplicity while also being exciting and tenderly unique. The often difficult subjects of OCD and ADHD were handled in a subtle, respectful and not at all overbearing manner with truly loveable characters. It was unpredictable at times, without any of the cliches that can so easily creep into this kind of writing. A gorgeous love story about two people who really understood each other, it’ll make you laugh, cry and leave you with a fuzzy warm feeling inside 🥰

Both of the narrators do a superb job, Gary Furlong especially manages to deliver an incredible performance. His delivery of Jack’s racing inner intrusive thoughts is urgent, heartbreaking and not at all over the top. The two best performers for the job without a doubt!

A truly special book
