Thank You for Listening by Julia Whelan

You have to listen to this book. Written and narrated by professional audiobook narrator Julia Whelan, Thank You for Listening (2022) is best on audio for an immersive experience. Filled with witty banter and a variety of voices, this uplifting romantic comedy is sure to boost your mood.

Sewanee Chester found success as an audiobook narrator after an accident ended her acting career. She left romance novels to narrate literary fiction, but is drawn back into the romance world with a posthumous request from an author. When she is paired with the secretive Brock McNight for a dual narration, her life changes in unexpected ways.

With a tongue-in-cheek appreciation of romance tropes and a behind-the-scenes glimpse into audiobook production, the book is a bit meta. And it’s not all sunshine and rainbows—the characters deal with family trauma and mental health challenges. A gripping story that you won’t want to end.
