The Right Kind of Wrong

By: PJ Trebelhorn

Narrated by: Paige McKinney

Quinn Burke loves being a bartender. She meets new women every night and has her choice of bed partners. That's fine with her because she isn't interested in anything serious after having her heart shattered 18 months ago.

Grace Everett is perfectly content owning a bookstore, but not so much in her personal life. She wants forever but hasn't had much luck with relationships. She's hoping the newest woman in her life will be the one.

When Quinn's mother falls ill, something shifts in the 20-year-old friendship for both women. Quinn struggles with old feelings for Grace, and Grace is seeing Quinn in a different light. They know falling for their best friend is wrong, but could it be the right kind of wrong?

Happy Endiing

I love this book, I was rooting for them the whole read. Sometimes it take outside sources to point out what right in front of you.

Don’t listen at bedtime

The book is a fine HEA romance. It feels like it could have been 75 to 100 pages shorter by cutting back on the characters’ hand wringing but it didn’t make the story unpleasant.
The narration however, is a whole other thing. I’m not sure if the producer slowed down the speed of speech if that is the narrator’s natural cadence, but the pace was positively soporific.

Torn on rating

Good Lord this book. I couldn't put it down. Great performance, lovable characters and told well. Ending seemed a little rushed and scattered, but still good. Otherwise, I loved it.

Could Be Improved

The overall premise of the book is pretty standard. The writing isn't great, but isn't bad. I would call this an easy read/listen with a predictable plot. The listening experience could be significantly improved upon with a different narrator.

Time to see what’s right in front of you

Best friends Quinn and Grace have a relationship that spans 20 years. Their families can see the feelings they have for each other but neither is brave enough to act on it. Sometimes I just wanted to smack Quinn. I realize it’s hard to change the dynamics of an amazing friendship and turn it into more. Quinn also has to deal with her mom have a heart issue. Plus a bigot for a sister and mending fences with another. Their chemistry together is sweet and sexy. I really liked all the characters in this book. The narrator was just perfect.
