Canadian Boyfriend

De: Jenny Holiday

Narrado por: Joshua Jackson, Emily Ellet

READ BY JOSHUA JACKSON AND EMILY ELLET! Fate brings together a ballet teacher and a hockey player in this big-hearted novel about second chances and taking risks by the bestselling author Entertainment Weekly calls the “master of witty banter.”

Once upon a time teenage Aurora Evans met a hockey player at the Mall of America. He was from Canada. And soon, he was the perfect fake boyfriend, a get-out-of-jail-free card for all kinds of sticky situations. I can't go to prom. I'm going to be visiting my boyfriend in Canada. He was just what she needed to cover her social awkwardness. He never had to know. It wasn't like she was ever going to see him again...

Years later, Aurora is teaching kids’ dance classes and battling panic and eating disorders—souvenirs from her failed ballet career—when pro hockey player Mike Martin walks in with his daughter. Mike’s honesty about his struggles with widowhood helps Aurora confront some of her own demons, and the two forge an unlikely friendship. There’s just one problem: Mike is the boy she spent years pretending was her “Canadian boyfriend.”

The longer she keeps her secret, the more she knows it will shatter the trust between them. But to have the life she wants, she needs to tackle the most important thing of all—believing in herself.

Josh Jackson narrator!!!

Loved the story & the narrator!!! Hockey is a great topic! Wished for more of the story and lovely characters!!

I loved the story and the two narrators

excellent story! it was just joyful to read. the two narrators made it like listening to a movie or show. the story is unique

I’d listen to Joshua Jackson all day long

So, a cute story, but the highlight was definitely listening to Pacey for 8 hours. Always my favorite TV character - but also a great narrator. Some things bugged me about the story (Sarah seemed like a whiner - sorry, raising one kid with plenty of funding isn’t that hard, I don’t really understand the required “conflict” at the end - it just didn’t seem like something a normal adult would care about). But it was an easy listen, enjoyable, and I found myself wishing there was a sequel after the epilogue.

Cute story, great narration.

I really enjoyed this story, especially the narration. The one thing I could not get past was Aurora always referring to Mike by his full name. It got to the point where I cringed every time and it totally distracted from enjoying the story more.

LISTEN NOW!!!

Do yourself a favor and don’t wait to listen to this story. The story was really good and so well written. The female narration was great and Joshua Jackson’s performance was PERFECTION!!! Loved this.

Great book, outstanding performance, weird conflict

I could listen to Joshua Jackson read a phone book and I’d enjoy it but I loved almost everything else about the book itself too. However, the conflict wasn’t really a conflict to me. Seemed like a dumb reason to break up and not really a lie at all. It was a diary about a fictional boyfriend. Nothing to do with the actual person except for the fact that they met, unceremoniously, in a mall years before so I’m glad it was resolved in a logical way. The prologue had me for a minute but I loved the result. Touché Ms. Holiday!

My heart could barely take it.

Thank you, Jenny…For the humanity, for the heart ache and growth. I wish I could experience for the first time again

A Cute Romance

This story is such a cute romance. Don't get me wrong, there are a couple triggers; there's death of a mother, and the FMC deals with body issues and eating disorder recovery. But overall, I highly recommend this book. At the age of 16, the FMC meets a young hockey player and develops a crush. They don't see each other after that one meeting though. Years later, while teaching dance class, she finds out that that young hockey player is now the father of one of her students. The problem is, he doesn't remember her.

Finding love through grief

There is nothing more beautiful than being able to find love again when you lose your spouse in a tragic accident at a young age. This book had me sobbing the entire time. You can feel every emotion with the characters. I love the ending so much.

SOOOO GOOD!!!

Loved it from start to finish, story kept you hooked and the narrators were fantastic!
