A beautiful testament to personal growth and the transformative power of love

Pip Landers-Letts’ Pyg is a delightful and heartfelt sapphic romance that weaves together themes of love, self-discovery, and perseverance in a way that’s both uplifting and deeply relatable. The novel follows a woman navigating the ups and downs of life and relationships, from enduring a toxic partnership where she’s treated more like an object or toy than an equal, to the serendipitous encounter that introduces her to Ash-a turning point that blossoms into a genuine, empowering love. What stands out most is how light-hearted the story feels, even amid its more emotional moments. The protagonist’s journey is infused with humor and wit, providing plenty of comic relief through her quirky experiences and inner monologues. I found myself immediately connecting with the main character; her vulnerabilities and determination made me root for her every step of the way as she seeks—and ultimately finds—her true love. The characters are so easily relatable, drawing from real-life struggles and triumphs that many readers will see echoes of in their own lives. Overall, Pyg is a beautiful testament to personal growth and the transformative power of love. It’s an easy, engaging read that’s perfect for anyone looking for a feel-good story with depth.

Great Performance

I could listen to Marisa Calin read the phone book. She is a true delight to listen to. Great story.

Beautiful and full

Narrator is heavenly and these characters are just the loveliest. It's also a perfectly crafted bit of writing, with wit and grace to spare.

Buy this book!

Double virgin here. First Pip Landers-Letts novel, and first Marisa Calin narration. Neither will be my last. Seriously wonderful book. I’m from the US, Midwest specifically. So I definitely loved what I assume is British humor. The book was well paced, great story line, no unnecessary angst - but enough skepticism to keep it from being too insta-love. It kept my interest, it made me laugh, great side characters, and a little spice. Alice was a perfect, lovable, relatable, mess of a character. And Ash was just the likable, low key, non-judgmental person with an ex, but brought that stability. Marisa’s narration of the story was ridiculously good. As much as I do audio books, I am quite shocked it's the first time hearing her talented work. Oh, and on that note - I do hope Pip's other work makes it onto Audible at some point, I'd love to have a listen!
