Purposefully Accidental

By: G. Benson

Narrated by: Quinn Riley

Length: 18 hrs and 27 mins

Publisher's summary

An unfortunate accident, an old grudge, and a Sapphic fake romance.

Since A-List actress and Hollywood's sweetheart Wren Acker came out, not only is she at the top of the acting world; she's also crush number one for her queer fanbase. Loving life, loving her job, loving her cat-everything is fantastic. Except that lack of any kind of private life.

When a car accident brings her to the ER, the bottom falls out of her world when she realizes that reserved Doctor Taylor, her physician, is Madison Taylor from camp way back when she was a kid. And boy, does Madison still hold a well-earned grudge for how that all ended.

When Madison ends up working on Wren's set as a medical consultant, suddenly everyone's assuming they're a couple. The media loses it, their fanbase grows even further, and the entire thing snowballs.

Every grudge has to be moved on from eventually, right?

Contains mature themes.

Just ok.

I did like the characters and plot, but the book seemed to go on for a long time with no change in tempo. it was a nice story. but not memorable.

great story

this was a great story and the character development was very rich. you get invested into the story very easily.

Fun & Interesting

Great storyline. Kept my interest the entire way through - and that’s saying a lot! It’s the best LBGTQ+ book I’ve ever listened to or read.

All the best tropes wrapped in one

Like all the other works that G. Benson has put forth. This one is absolutely worth the listen. You will be laughing, crying and cheering the characters on as they navigate through so many different tropes it’s wonderful. Highly recommend this story. The narration was a little slow but once I started it up to 1.2 it worked really well.

Love Like The First Time

I’d like to preface my review with a spoiler warning. I am unsure how to place the spoiler tag so please beware. Though I will be vague as I can be, just in case.

Avoiding names, as those who have listened will know what I mean, this story ended up hitting harder in spots I didn’t expect. I have a wife and despite all being well, this story more than once had me crying. Fretting over nothing but I still couldn’t help but feel what the author was putting out.

I’m beyond glad there was a happy ending. And everything felt handled really well in all areas, even parts where I am sure we shared frustrations. It was hard not to enjoy the whole cast; if anyone can manifest them, please. I’ll donate a chicken, candle, or whatever needed for the spell.

And yes, agreed author, fanfics are where it’s at. XD Thanks for the fun read/listen!

very enjoyable

I really enjoyed the it's and outside of the movie world. presented very well.

What a great story! You MUST read this one!

I put off listening to this book because I thought- oh- another fake to real dating story. I was wrong. This is so much more! A beautiful insight on how to deal with loss, which is part of life, but rarely explored with such joy, understanding and love! WOW! Hollywood insights and intrigue abound but also serve as reflections of daily life for all of us! There’s plenty of encouragement here to rise to the challenge. I remind myself often to “Let go of all but love.” This book does this with such skill, laughter, tears and sensual discourse that it truly holds love for us, the readers, and never let Ms us go! The author does this with such passion, reverence for the gift that love is, in daily life and in the bedroom! Highly recommend! PS- thanks for the wonderful narration! It was wonderful to listen to and the characters voices were easy to follow!

Decent lesbian rom com

This was a pretty good novel. There was a lot of buildup, so definitely for you if you enjoy a slow burn. It’s clear the author did quite a bit of research to write these characters realistically as a doctor and an A-list actress. The narration was okay. I didn’t love the story but I liked it enough to finish it and would consider another book by this author. 3.5 overall.

Star Struck

This was a good story. A little slower at times but enjoyable! I loved the raw emotion and honesty.

Slow burn - but oh so worth it

Usually don’t like the tortuous slow burn - but this one was so worth it. Love how well developed the characters were and that I felt like I could feel the emotions myself! Absolutely love this author and the book!
