Can We Skip to the Good Part

De: Melissa Brayden

Narrado por: Quinn Riley

A hilarious, witty, and warm sapphic rom-com about a woman whose life implodes when she loses her job and fiancée in the same week, and decides to join a book club to change things up. But when she finds herself falling for one of the club members, and that person is her best friend’s ex, her troubles have only just begun.

Ella Baker is tired of being an afterthought in her own life. First, her fiancée dumps her six days before the wedding. Then her family jets off on a world tour—without her. And just when she thinks it can’t get worse, her longtime employer forgets to lay her off...That is, until now. It’s time for a reinvention, starting with something totally out of character: joining a book club. Thank God for her best friend, Rachel, who’s always there with popcorn and wine. But when a kiss from a smart, gorgeous, and maddeningly irresistible book club member leaves Ella breathless, she’s stunned to learn the woman who just turned her world upside down is the very ex who broke Rachel’s heart.

Max Wyler doesn’t believe in forever. As a divorce mediator, she’s built a career on helping people walk away amicably. The book club is just an escape—until new member Ella Baker arrives, all sunshine and sass, making Max question everything she thought she knew about love. There’s just one problem: Ella’s best friend is Max’s worst mistake. Which means those pretty blue eyes? Completely off-limits.

Or at least, they should be.

Lots of great interactions

This book came to life because of the narration of Quinn Riley.

I so enjoyed going along this journey of these two women who had this magnetic pole that couldn’t keep them apart, regardless of what girl code might dictate. Until they got caught, it was fun to sneak around with them.

Each main character had certain things that they needed to overcome to truly come together as an intact couple with less baggage.

The epilogue brought the whole book to a wonderful ending and wrapped it up nicely like a good package. Highly recommend it.

There are always two sides to a telling.

I really enjoyed this story. Although I don't nessacerly believe in Girl Code.

One should never take sides and dislike someone just because they've only heard one side of the story. I've always been the type when I'm told something derogatory about a person or just gossip, to always find out the truth.

As for mature content it is very rare that I give more than 3 chilies, but I give this book a 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🔥 The reason for this is because of the way it was written, it was more realistic. The narrator did a really good job of making it even more believable. Most books with mature content rushed through with hard, quick and not always realistic acts. This book IMO did a perfect job of love making and/or fucking. I found it Hot!

The passion and the romance

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was real, the tension and romance between the main characters was so intense. Everything beautifully came together in the end.

keep me on my toes

truly enjoyed the book. I didn't want it to end. I drive for a living, this made my days fly by

Love this book

There is no question, when you have a great book, with a well written story, and excellent MC and you add to it a wonderful narration the final product is a great wow. Loved the drama, the relationships, the book club.
