- with a few exceptions, only reading things that I’ve really wanted to read or that come recommended by 3 or empire people.

I just finished listening to “Someone Else’s Shoes” (which I learned about on this forum) and think it might fit what you’re looking for. Last year I read “In a New York Minute” and “Book Lovers” and think you may enjoy both.


+1, I also just finished this book (although I read it, I didn't listen to it) based on recommendations on here and it sounds right up your alley.

I also listened to Very Sincerely Yours, so other books along those lines include:

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren
Cassandra in Reverse by Holly Smale
Nora Goes Off Script by Annabel Monaghan
Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
The Secret Bridesmaid by Katy Birchall
The Restoration of Celia Fairchild by Marie Bostwick


This is OP. Thanks for the recommendations. I finished reading Every Summer After.
Loved it.
