About this audiobook
A heartwarming and humorous romance in which an unlikely couple fall in love over Wordle.
Twenty-seven-year-old Emily doesn’t have a lot going well in her life right now. She dreams of a creative career but works as a receptionist in an auto shop. She longs for big city life but lives in a small town on Prince Edward Island. She craves a close group of friends but is stuck with irritating, car-obsessed coworkers.
What Emily does have is a 300+ day streak on the New York Times Wordle. But one day, with only one guess left and no clue what the answer is, she’s forced to turn to one of her irritating, car-obsessed coworkers, John, for help—and in doing so, realizes that he might not be so irritating after all.
As they make their way, word by word, toward a 365-day streak, Emily is drawn into a surprising romance that will take her outside of her comfort zone—and challenge everything she thought she knew about happiness, success, and love.

Although it’s a romantic comedy, so you’re expecting a happy ending, I enjoyed sharing the main character’s journey not only finding “the one”, but finding her true self. Emily’s character is funny, witty and relatable! The other characters in the book also have great personalities and side plots that enrich the story. Looking to read other books by this author! - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5

Light-hearted, Cute story. I needed a break from my normal, intense reads, and this gave my brain just the break it needed. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5

Cute but predictable. Easy read, feel good ending. Relatable since everyone faces questioning their life decisions at some point. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

Such a good book. Really enjoyed the fact it wasn't all about sex and cussing.
