Well, Actually

A Novel

De: Mazey Eddings

Narrado por: Ariela Crow

An utterly delightful and sexy second-chance romance between a black cat and golden retriever with Mazey Edding's signature sparkling voice!

Eva Kitt never expected to be the host of Sausage Talk, interviewing B-list celebrities over lukewarm hot dogs, instead of pursuing the journalism career she dreamed of. But when Eva’s impromptu public call out of her college ex goes viral, she’s thrust into the spotlight. It doesn’t help said ex is Rylie Cooper, a beloved social media personality that has built a platform on deconstructing toxic masculinity and teaching men how to be good partners.

Forced to confront Rylie on a live episode of Sausage Talk, he offers Eva a deal: allow him to take her on a series of dates to make up for his toxic behavior, then debrief them on his channel to show he’s changed. Eva refuses to play nice, but agrees to the scheme to advance her own career and continue defaming Rylie’s good name. When these manufactured dates start to feel real, Eva has to wonder if the boy that broke her heart has become the man that might heal it.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Well, Actually is hilarious, heartfelt, and real. I wish I could live in Mazey Eddings' brain."—Grace Reilly, USA Today bestselling author of the Beyond the Play Series

"Well, Actually is well, stunning! Eddings's voice is distinct, her observations sharp, and the romance between Eva and Rylie is equal parts vulnerable, heartwarming, and absolutely scorching. An absolute delight of a book!"—Lyla Sage, New York Times bestselling author of Lost and Lassoed

fantastic Narrator!

This book got me hooked from the start! I enjoyed the writing and the pace of the book. The FMC and MMC had great banter. I was also very glad for no 3rd act break up. The narrator was a fantastic performer. She made the book come to life. I felt like I contacted more with the characters from her performance.

Cute, quick romance

It was cute and a quick read. Quite predictable but still entertaining nonetheless. Definitely not the book if you’re looking for a clean, thought provoking read.

Cheesy Narrator

I feel like I would’ve enjoyed this book much more if I read a physical copy. The narrator didn’t quite capture the sardonic vibe, and the spicy scenes were so melodramatically performed I found myself rolling my eyes, even though I really liked how they were written. The performance was okay-ish at first, but kept getting cheesier as the book went on. Bummer.

The story is good though! I liked the chemistry, banter, and backstory between the main characters. The ending was maybe a bit anticlimactic, but I really appreciated it didn’t fall into the miscommunication trope. Definitely worth a read, and one of my favorite Mazey Eddings book. I just would pick up a copy vs the audiobook

Meh.

It was not that bad, but it was not not great. Same story ive read over and over just different names and different ways tot get there. Nothing new or exciting. Basic but it gets the job done. It’s mediocre at best.
