Publisher's summary

Turning 30 has its ups and downs.

For Callie Grey, coming to grips with her age means facing the fact that her boyfriend-slash-boss is way overdue with a marriage proposal. And that she's way off track, because Mark has suddenly announced his engagement to the company's new Miss Perfect. If that isn't bad enough, her mom decides to throw her a Big Three-Oh birthday bash - in the family funeral home.

Bad goes to worse when Callie stirs up a relationship with the town's single - yet not so warm and fuzzy - veterinarian in order to flag Mark's attention. So what if Ian McFarland is more comfortable with animals? So what if he's formal, orderly and just a bit tense?

Friendly, fun-loving and spontaneous Callie decides it's time for Ian to get a personality makeover. But dang - if he doesn't shock the heck out of her, she might actually fall for Georgebury, Vermont's unlikeliest eligible bachelor....

I wanted to give this 5 stars

I loved everything about this story with the really great characters the feelings throughout but one thing just grated on me. The frequent references to Michelle Obama were just disgusting. Spoiled the sweet story.

Clean Sweet Contemporary Watering-pot Romance

"All I Ever Wanted" by Kristan Higgins is in my audible library and ....
I completed reading this story today.. I really enjoyed this story and listening to this narrator's voice(s)... If you like clean, sweet, contemporary, watering-pot, romance stories.... then you do not want to miss this adventure or should I say these adventures in love and romance. Read the publisher's summary because I say this is a 5-STAR read.

Funny and Endearing

Always enjoy Kristen’s books. The humor and family dynamics she puts into her stories are hilarious and heartfelt. Xe’s narration is always delightful. I find myself out loud laughing.

Good story

Another good story by Kristan as usual about 2 different men and 1 woman with her cute dog. Interesting family made the story. Men were frustrating with their crazy decisions. It was heartwarming , frustrating, laughable at times. F bomb too many times.

As a Funeral Director...

... none of this was researched AT ALL. I mean the embalmer "forgot to take off his gloves before going to a restaurant" uhg no.
But as a woman, I related and loved the main character. Higgins has a cute humor that makes me laugh out loud. This may have been one of my favorites by her. I mean, the dogs name was Bowie.

Enjoyable

This was an enjoyable read/listen.

The two main leads had their quirks which at times were annoying, but for the most part hilarious.

The other couple, Mark and Muriel were.....interesting and very needed for the main leads relationship to progress as well as it did.

The Michelle Obama and Betty Book comments were funny though the mentiona of the 1st lady so many times got old really, really fast.

The Green Mountain crew were good side characters, each with their own unique addition of charm to the story.

Sweet, funny and fast

Nicely written, breezy romance. Diverting for days or nights when you'd like something with lively characters, a good plot line, and nothing gloomy.
