Love at Full Tilt

By: Jenny L. Howe

Narrated by: Alexandra Ryan

In this joyful celebration of fandoms, whirlwind romance, and plus-size girls, love is the ultimate roller coaster ride.

Lia Baker has spent the last few months wishing time would stand still. Soon her friends will head off to college while she’s left behind, buried under her mom’s anxiety and working a job she doesn’t want. But life throws her for a loop when she wins a spot in the fiftieth-anniversary scavenger hunt at Fableland, a legendary theme park. The contest is a golden ticket to a world where her favorite stories come to life and a chance for her to write some new ones of her own.

Everything seems perfect, especially after she teams up with Mason, a cute rival who knows as much about Fableland as she does. Together, they’re unstoppable. But as Mason’s sweet smile starts to melt her focus, Lia realizes that she may have to choose between the future she wants to rewrite—and a love she hadn’t planned for.

I want to visit fable land 😭

I loved the story so much when I read the e-arc and when I did a reread with the audiobook so my partner could enjoy the book as well I was blown away how the story was brought to life! The narrator is so talented and really made you feel like you were in the competition. It also felt like you really were dealing with a mother like Lia’s and I felt the tightness in my chest like there was no escaping her. 10/10 so good!
