A Novel Proposal

🎙 Narrated by Jessica Holtan
63/100
👎 Skip It
A cozy, low-stakes beach read about a romance novelist who's never been in love writing herself into one - it's sweet, clean, and easy company, even if the grumpy-neighbor setup feels familiar. Nothing here will surprise you, but that's kind of the charm. I couldn't find much on how Jessica Holtan's narration lands, so treat that part as an open question.
