IN A NEW YORK MINUTE

Listeners who appreciate an awkward protagonist or a meet-cute will find this audiobook appealing. Buttoned-up Hayes Montgomery III and awkward Franny Doyle meet when he gives her his Gucci suit jacket when her dress rips on the subway. Alternating chapters provide opportunities for Franny and Hayes to contemplate their growing attraction. The audio format capitalizes upon the dual points of view, with narrators Amanda Dolan and Neil Hellegers each highlighting their protagonist while maintaining the mannerisms of the other's. Dolan's bright voice makes for a compelling and realistic foil to Hellegers's more contemplative, thoughtful tone in the story of a couple who find that becoming a viral sensation is only the beginning.
