The Sapphic Inquisition

De: Ashley Halladay

Narrado por: Chelsea Stephens

Problems just keep piling up for Nicolette ‘Nic’ Saracini. The biggest? Her best friend Will is getting married, which is fine except it means the end of an era. Since childhood the two have been inseparable, sharing the same tastes in music, movies, and, most importantly, women.

The two have been wingmanning each other for the better part of a decade. From highschool prom, to frat parties in college, to smoky dive bars in adulthood, the two have been helping each other score for as long either of them can remember. But weddings have always been their favorite hunting ground.

Now, on the precipice of what they have dubbed The Summer of Weddings, Nic is without a wedding date, and more important, a wingman.

Enter Will’s younger sister Skylar, a beautiful and brilliant surgeon, who offers to fill in for Will at the six weddings that stretch across the summer. It’s not a bad idea, as far as things go, but Nic soon realizes that there are a couple major issues.

To start, Skylar is a hopeless and helpless flirt. This ostensibly straight girl can’t help but tease and touch and make inappropriate innuendos that drive Nic wild.

Which would be bad enough, but when Nic’s dreaded ex Ally starts sniffing around, wanting Nic back, the two hatch a fake dating scheme to keep Ally off her back.

The lines between what’s real and what’s not quickly blur as Ally’s attempt to expose their fake relationship finds the girls off balanced and unprepared.

After all, no one ever expects the Sapphic Inquisition.

Good Story with Humor

Nic and Skylar have attraction, but Skylar is straight, or is she? They get along great and Nic the slut is falling for the straight girl. Nic's ex did a number on her and that is why she doesn't do relationships. Although her views on that might be changing.

Skylar is the straight girl who agreed to be Nic's wing woman for weddings. Skylar is also a major flirt.

As for mature content there is only some towards the end, and that I give a 🌶️🌶️🔥

The narrator almost ruined it for me

The story was ok. Not much spice. But the narrator did a weird breath thing after ever. Single. Word. It was so distracting and annoying as heck.

Very childish dialogue

Characters sounded like teens. The dialogue but also the narrator made one of the characters sound like a teenager. Story was just meh

Finished it in less than a day!

Finishing a book in less than a day is rare for me. I needed to know what would happen so bad + the voice couldn’t have been more hilarious. I will most likely listen to this book a few more times and also buy its physical copy. I also got my wife hooked on it as I was in the 9th chapter and we ended up listening to the whole thing together🥰 She loved it as much as I did. Can’t wait to see what other stories the author comes out with. Brilliant voice and very engaging story.

Very spicy!

Funny, sexy, and earnest! My only wish was that it was longer or that there a sequel or other AH books to listen to! Ms, Halladay, hope you have more listens available soon, whatever type genre it might be! ;)
