THE LOVE WAGER

Kristen DiMercurio and Zachary Webber provide unputdownable entertainment and sexiness with this rom-com. Hallie hits rock bottom when she finds herself sneaking out of a hotel room and decides it's time to be an adult. But when she runs into Jack, the guy who was in the hotel room, they make a bet to see who can find true love first. The production and performances are flawless. The chemistry is palpable, and the alternating narrations are outstanding. The two narrators also pop into the other's chapters to narrate text messages. The banter is fabulous between Hallie and Jack and among the secondary characters. DiMercurio and Webber are at their best, and this is narration perfection. Listeners are guaranteed to laugh out loud while falling in love with Hallie and Jack. E.P. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2023]
