I received an audiobook copy from the publisher via Netgalley for an honest review.

This was definitely funny at times as these two are pen pals and recounting their previous relationships/sex-capades. I like the pen pal format and the time frame it was set in. Some of the stories were way more crass then I was expecting and they went from funny to a bit sad. I liked after they had both aired out ALL of their romantic histories their last bit of meeting and so forth, that we as readers are aware of, however, I felt like it was a bit of an abrupt ending. It did not feel entirely complete. I get it, some authors end novels that way to say you as the reader can decide....I didn't read this book for ME to decide!!! I read it for YOU to give me a complete story! That is my biggest gripe with the book. I definitely do want to see the movie that this was made into though.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

This was an enjoyable listen with relatable characters, it was narrated well and I love that it was dual narrated to really bring the story more dimension.

Per my feedback, I will not leave a public review of this book. It was not a book I cared for, so I don't want my low rating to affect the overall rating of the book, because I know many people who loved this book.

*Which Brings Me to You* opens at a rather uninspiring wedding, where Jane and John’s initial connection seems more about seeking excitement than genuine interest. Their almost-hookup in a coatroom leads to a decision to explore a different kind of relationship through letters, where they share the intimate details of their past love affairs and personal growth.

Although the premise of exchanging letters and delving into each other’s histories had potential, the execution left me underwhelmed. The story had moments where it seemed like it was building towards something meaningful, but as the letters piled up, the personal stories started to blur together. Instead of providing fresh insights or engaging revelations, they became monotonous and repetitive.

Ultimately, while the idea of exploring past relationships through letters was intriguing, the narrative didn’t manage to hold my interest. The exchanges felt more tedious than transformative, and the final payoff didn’t compensate for the journey. For me, this book missed the mark.

Which Brings Me to You by Steve Almond and Julianna Baggott was a cute romance with great characters and good narration and audio quality.

I loved this cute story, it was very well done and the characters were great, I would recommend listening or reading to this book was so fun, cute, and enjoyable overall. You get to really learn about the characters and the developments throughout this book and I enjoyed that very much. The audiobook was well done and I enjoyed listening to it for sure.

This audiobook was okay. I only requested it because I love Lucy Hale and will still watch the movie lol. But its basically about a guy & girl who meet, hook up, & then start writing each other letters until they meet again. They get closer with each letter, predictably. It just seemed boring to me but hopefully the movie is better

To be honest, this book started with a strong premise but ultimately left me slogging through. The narrators were fine but the content left me wanting more. It took me longer than usual because I wasn't excited to return to the book. I think this may play out better on screen but just wasn't my cup of tea in print.

This was a nice and easy listening story. I liked the narrator and the characterisations. It was a fairly predictable story but still enjoyable.

Thank you to Blackstone Publishing, Steve Almond and Julianna Baggott for an audiobook eARC copy of Which Brings Me to You via NetGalley.

Unfortunately I did not care for this book's content much at all. The narrators made it so I was able to finish it, though it wasn't my favorite narration I have listened to, the fact that I could still focus on their reading kept me from marking this as a DNF. The pacing and tone of the voices were decent as well.

Now I am going into this review as someone who has read/listened to my fair share of romance; I've read and enjoyed anything from closed-door to fairly detailed sex scenes in books. That being said, one thing I typically like for the books I choose to read is SOME SEMBLANCE of a plot. Really, even the most minuscule plots have been considered acceptable, but I want at least the teensiest amount of something other than the sex/romance scenes for a book to be enjoyable. Which Brings Me to You did not deliver even the slightest plot that I could make out. The entitreity, or at least a vast majority, of the content of this book was the letters the two sent back and forth. These letters eventually lead to (some) self discovery, but really it was just them trying to out-brag the other about their sexual endeavors thus far. After months/years of writing back and forth, all of a sudden they were in love with one another; without much content that felt it would naturally lead to this deep of an outcome.

I don't know, maybe I'm a hater, but it just wasn't for me. I do agree that if I don't enjoy a book that just means I wasn't the audience for that piece, but I really am curious what the objective of this novel really was.

I think I'll wait for the movie and see if I like it that way, because the audiobook was not for me. To be honest, I requested it because Lucy Hale has been cast and I enjoy her romcoms. They're never Oscar worthy scripts, but are enjoyable. Perhaps that should have been a red flag for me

I was initially drawn to the book by the intriguing premise of two strangers bonding over past relationships at a wedding. While the idea was promising, I found the plot repetitive and lacking the humor depicted in the movie trailer. The excessive focus on the main characters' past relationships overshadowed their development and made it difficult for me to connect with them. As a result, I didn't feel invested in their journey or root for their relationship. Ultimately, the book fell short of my expectations and wasn't a satisfying read for me.

a quick and easy read, not the best but not the worst

I’m not big on flashbacks or dual timelines in my books, and this feels a lot like that, since their letters reflect back on all their past romantic misdeeds

still a cute concept and will watch the movie

The premise of the two characters writing each other letters about their past loves in order to get to know each other and falling in love was unique and cute. Sometimes the content was just a little much for my tastes.

That was awful, long drawn out, boring, and just bad writing. It could've been so good if done correctly but they focused so much on the past and not enough on the current.

I love Julianna Baggott's writing. Two people who have given up on love almost hook up at a wedding, but then they don't and that leads them on the romance of their lives.

I really wanted to enjoy this one because I really liked the description and it sounded right up my alley. However, I had a hard time with the narrator. I just really could not get past the voice and felt it really took away from the book. There were some redeeming qualities in this but overall I just really didn't enjoy the narration. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I chose this audiobook primarily because of the cover. I was/am a huge Pretty Little Liars fan and knowing Lucy Hale was somehow involved with this story...I was sold.

I had creeped the preview and it looked like I'd throughly enjoy this story.

Although there were elements that I DID enjoy, I found this story to be right in the middle for me. Narration was just average, story pretty average etc. Nothing made me go WOW!

I wanted a little bit more from this one and it fell flat. A right in the middle 3 for me.

Thank you NetGalley for this audiobook.

A pair of romantic flameouts meet at a dull wedding and wind up entwined in a deserted coatroom. Shockingly, Jane and John decide not to have sex. Instead, they embark on a far more dangerous sharing the stories of their past love affairs. They tell each other everything, aiming for radical honesty over polished seduction. Jaded as they may be, these two sense that they just might be soulmates.

I enjoyed the premise of this story, but I think it lacked a bit of depth. These were, after all, confessions to each other and they didn't even seem that deep. I liked the narration. It was a fun and really cute story.
