If It Makes You Happy

De: Julie Olivia

Narrado por: Blair Young, Emily Eiden, Alex Raby, Sean Patrick Hopkins

Grab your favorite fall candle, cuddle into a comfy blanket, and travel back in time to 1997 in this cozy, slow-burn romance set in the autumn glow of small-town Vermont.

Now with exclusive bonus content!

My new next-door neighbor seems to have everything figured out. Small town golden boy? Check. Single dad extraordinaire? Check. Hot baker forearms? I didn’t notice them, I swear.

I, on the other hand, don’t–at all–have anything figured out. Trust me, I didn’t think taking over my mom’s dream bed and breakfast in Copper Run Vermont was going to be easy. It should be a good place to heal after my divorce. But apparently my scones belong in the garbage with my small talk skills. As pointed out by none other than Cliff.

Cliff is inescapable. He knows exactly what people need–always. His charm, the way he wears flannel, and even his pastries, make not wanting to be friends with Cliff and his daughters pretty hard.

Friends? I can make friends. That’s safe. Except I’m leaving in three months to pass the inn off to my little sister and get the promotion in Seattle I’ve been working towards. So ask me why I’m thinking about kissing my hot neighbor.

Just so cute!

OK this book is totally outside my normal genres that I read. I’m a huge horror fan and this is definitely not horror lol. All the fun 90s references were just so nostalgic and it was even a little steamy! Highly recommend reading, the end of the book had me in tears in the best way possible!!

Cute fally hallmarky read!

I would say 3.75 overall. I definitely would have rated it higher if it wasn’t so long. It was much longer than it needed to be. It was a cozy fall read though and a great one to end September with!

Great fall vibes

This book was perfect! Being thrown back to 1997 brought back great memories. The epilogue made me cry so much 💕💕💕 as a dog mom I wish I could see my life thru my babies eyes .

A Sweet Taste of Home

What a sweet story to enter this new Fall season. The nostalgic storyline painted the familiar faces, places and tastes of my childhood decade, the 90’s! Thank you for giving me a place to escape to during these stressful times of 2025.

all the fall vibes!!

I love how long this story is — it's a great fall book! I really enjoyed the plot; it's one of my favorite fall reads so far!

Fun fall back in time 🧡

This was so fun! The 90’s setting was perfect and the characters were great. I loved the story line and had a blast being along for the ride in this rom-com that felt like a movie. The dog had me ❤️🤣 and all the cozy feels made for the perfect fall read.

All of it

It gives you all that happy feeling that you're feeling like you're feeling like you're feeling like you're feeling like you're feeling like you're feeling like you're feeling like you're children are all and at the same time gives you the romance movie feeling at. The same time, it's a sense of feeling happy in sad back to happy. It gives you an emotional road concert that it's also amazing.

INFINITY STARS.

I read this book when it was first published in 2024 as indie. & now seeing that she got to trad pub it & get an audiobook? It is absolute perfection. I will forever scream to the world the perfection of this book.

Nice read

I liked the book however I was not a fan of the voice of Michelle. The person‘s voice was too high-pitched from my liking.

it made me happy

I liked the voice actors and the characters growth and the extra chapters , very good book
