Episode Synopsis
Kristen DiMercurio returns triumphantly as narrator of the third Bright Falls romance. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss this excellent conclusion to Ashley Herring Blake’s series. Romance writer Iris Kelly is single, and that’s how she likes it — but she’s struggling to find inspiration for her next book. When she meets Stevie Scott, a cute aspiring thespian with generalized anxiety disorder, they have a disastrous hookup. Life gets more complex when Iris and Stevie end up not only as the leads in a play directed by Stevie’s ex girlfriend but also playing fake girlfriends in real life. DiMercurio gets all of the complicated emotions just right as Stevie and Iris catch real feelings and fall in love.
