About this listen

A warm and laugh-out-loud funny story of one woman's brave quest to avoid true love.

Best friends Hero and Sunday are holidaying in New York when Sunday persuades the normally conservative Hero to don a siren-red wig and the persona of Lola, a do-anything-anywhere-anytime trapeze artist. Disguised as Lola, Hero crosses paths - and a whole lot more - with gorgeous Oscar. Sparks fly, but Hero can't admit to Oscar that she's not who he thinks she is.

Flash forward two years and Hero is back in Sydney and in a relationship with arch conservative boyfriend Pelham. Life is comfortable, stable. Until she bumps into Oscar, that is. He's determined to pursue and win her back into his arms. He's also convinced that Hero is more like her alter ego Lola than she'd like to admit.

No matter how hard Oscar tries, however, Hero insists that she's nothing like Lola, and she's not even slightly interested in him. Or so she keeps telling herself - and anyone else who'll listen.

But does she protest too much?

From the best-selling author of Love Struck and The Wish List comes a sparkling story about fate, love, cocktails and gorilla-grams.

Simply Adorable

You might think this is a tradition rom com of a book but it’s so much more. So many well developed characters and plot lines. It was adorable and an absolute joy.

Cute!

the characters were well defined and I like the flow and whimsy. overall I enjoyed the fun and light-hearted feel of the story. I did not like the overused cliche boy meets girl ...boy likes girl ...girl likes boy,then girl hates boy... but enjoyed it overall anyway.

Light, easy ilistening

I enjoyed the story and its presentation. Not difficult to follow, light story of love, life and loss. I predicted the end far in advance, but enjoyed the nuances the author presented.

Definitely an early 2000s rom com

Parts of this story were fun, but too much of it felt stale and outdated, and not just because of when it was set. I wasn’t rooting for either of the romantic leads; in fact, I was bothered by her stiffness and lack of integrity and his refusal to respect her boundaries. The book’s treatment of romance and sexuality was too cookie cutter.

Great characters but not my favorite story line

I had a hard time with the underlying theme here. When a woman says, “no,” it means no. The idea that a man thinks he knows what’s best for her despite her protestations kinda pisses me off.

I do, however, understand that there would be no story without the two main characters taking these positions, so I was willing to give it far more leeway as a work of fiction. It is meant to be fake after all. I also found the personalities and general quirkiness of the female characters, Hero and Sunday, helped balance out that “men know best” sentiment. The women were all intelligent, hard working, self sufficient, and also mostly immune to the wooing.

On a side note, George W. Bush makes an appearance in this book, which is sorta hilarious. I am an American and I remember how hated he was during his presidency. Now he seems like a tame house cat compared to the feral beasts that ravage American politics these days.
