AN INTROVERT'S GUIDE TO LIFE AND LOVE

Renata Friedman gives a glorious narration of this satisfying audiobook, which is part slow-burn romance and part heartwarming family story. After her grandmother's death, 28-year-old Seattle project manager Mallory is bequeathed her grandparents' Florida home on the condition that she help care for her "Gramps." Friedman captures the humor in Mallory's reluctance to leave her cozy Seattle apartment, outfitted with every imaginable creature comfort, to visit Gramps and fix up the Florida house for potential tenants. Gramps's reserved but warmhearted demeanor is splendidly portrayed by Friedman. As Mallory settles into Gramps's retirement community, her desire to spend time alone lessens. After meeting the adventurous ginger-haired property manager, Daniel, Mallory's heart awakens to new possibilities. M.J. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2025]
