About this listen

Trip Harrington was at the top of his game when he won an Olympic gold medal. A decade later, he's still reliving his victory and sailing on the honor and expects everyone in his small town to feel the same way. Truth is, they don't.

His parents, especially, aren't so keen on having their lazy, unemployed, and narcissistic son living with them. So they send him for counseling. Trip takes his psychologist's advice and begins to chances. His inflated ego intact, Trip is sure he can snag the affection of his pretty neighbor, Rose, a local goat farmer, and prove to his family and doctor that he's still the hometown hero.

But things don't go exactly to plan. After their date goes awry, Rose wants nothing to do with him. Problem is, Trip is totally smitten.

Can Trip shed his entitled attitude to find true happiness?

I enjoyed this book a lot.
It’s not often I will read a book and hate the main character as much as I did Trip at the start of this book. The development of his character thru the book is fantastic the road he takes to get what he wants is a hard one for him and enjoyed going on the journey with him to get there.

Love the character development

What an absolute hidden gem of a book! Loved listening to this so much. Not what I expected at all! It tells the story of a former Olympic medal winner who is now in his thirties and still stays at home with his parents. The main character Trip is arrogant, lazy, a bit of a narcissist and quite un-likeable at the start. He meets a girl who looks after goats called Rose and falls in love. However their love affair is not a straight forward one. The tale is funny, charming and heart warming! I absolutely loved listening to it. The narrator told the story beautifully. I will look out for more from this author. ❤️🙌

Fantastic feel good story

I found this wonderful and uplifting. This book follows Trip and he gets his life in order after becoming a useless lay-about. Great characters and well written. Highly recommended.
