A Not So Fictional Fall by Savannah Scott is a charming and cozy marriage of convenience romcom, perfect for fall vibes! The story follows Tasha, a bookstagrammer, who is excited to meet her favorite romance author, only to find out that "Amelie De Pierre" is actually a handsome French man named Pierre. Soon after, Tasha gets a surprising proposal—marriage to Pierre!
I loved how lighthearted and sweet this book was. The chemistry between Tasha and Pierre is adorable, and their journey from strangers to a couple had me hooked. The audiobook narration by Amanda Friday and Tyler Hyrchuk really brought the story to life, especially Tyler’s French accent, which added to Pierre’s character. The dual narration kept me engaged and made the story even more enjoyable.
If you're in the mood for a feel-good, autumnal romance with fun tropes and a heartwarming storyline, this audiobook is a great pick!

I just love seasonal reads. A Not So Fictional Fall was the latest I've read. It was a comforting book that gave me fall vibes. A good read!

I absolutely love a marriage of convenience and this one was done really well! A Not So Fictional Fall was so sweet and swoony and made me feel all warm and cozy, just as you should feel in the fall.

I can't wait to read the rest of the books in this series to see how they all connect together and create a magical world.

Thank you for the review audio! I had a blast listening!

This was a cute, feel-good read. Perfectly fit for that cozy fall vibe so many of us readers eat up. A marriage of convenience story done playfully and tastefully. It was a really great pallet-cleanser of a book— not too heavy or emotional, not serious, and no overwhelming info-dumping. It did start a bit slow for me, but it really picked up and I couldn’t stop listening. The MCs were too cute together. I found the narration kept me engaged, and I especially liked the male narrator. I think I’ll be checking out some of Savannah Scott’s other Sweater Weather books. Audio ARC provided by Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op. These thoughts and opinions are my own.

I just LOVE books about books/authors and this one had me kicking my feet and giggling throughout! I think this is my favorite Savannah Scott book I've read and I'm so glad I got the arc! This is part of a series, but easily read as a Standalone story. I can't wait to read more from this series though! Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for my audio ARC!

This was a cute story that definitely gives you all of the autumn vibes in a charming small town. Tasha is a bookstagrammer and romance fan. Her favorite author is Amelie De Pierre from France. Tasha is excited to go to a book convention to meet Amelie, only to find out that Amelie is in fact a man, a very handsome French man Pierre. They hit it off at the convention. Weeks later, Tasha is shocked when she hears from Pierre's agent asking her to marry Pierre. This book had a lot of my favorite tropes, marriage of convenience, romance author, sweater weather vibes. Pierre and Tasha are two great characters and you really root for them.

Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the advanced listener copy. The audiobook is duet narration and features narrators Amanda Friday and Tyler Hyrchuk. Tyler does a very nice French accent. If you're looking for a sweet, cozy fall romance, this is you're book. 3.5 stars.

I have enjoyed other books in the Sweater Weather series, so I was excited to listen to this one on audio. I liked that it was dual POV, and the accents were fun to listen to! I also loved the booksta besties and comments about bookstagram.

But overall, I didn't love this one. It didn't feel as though the characters were as connected with Harvest Hollow as others in the series... and I didn't feel any chemistry between Tasha and Pierre.

I still plan on reading the other books in the Sweater Weather series and would like to try out more books by Savannah Scott in the future.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Victory Editing for the advanced audiobook ARC in exchange for my honest review, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.


Content discretion: kissing, innuendos, alluded scene in epilogue

🤬: clean language
🌶️: closed door, just kisses, fade to black
🔫: no violence unless you count apple cannons 😉
Love Love Love it!!! Such a big fan of Savannah Scott. She did not disappoint with this book. If you want a book boyfriend who can clean, cook, and can speak french then look no further!! The kisses were swooning and the ending chef kiss!

A Not So Fictional Fall is a sweet, closed door, marriage of convenience by Savannah Scott. It is part of a multi-author series (Sweater Weather) but can be read as a standalone. I loved meeting characters in Harvest Hallow and think the FMC and MMC were incredibly easy to root for! Incredibly fun story premise and love that it was bookish themed. The narration was very well done, and the dual POV is perfect for this story! Would definitely recommend for your cozy, heartfelt, autumn read!

Thank you to Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for this ALC!

4.5/5 ⭐️

They say you should never meet your heroes. Thankfully, in this FANTASTIC, sweet rom-com, Tasha does just that. Tasha can't wait to meet the woman behind Tasha's favorite romance books, but author isn't at all what Tasha expects. For starters, this author, Amalie de Pierre, is a MAN. A handsome man. A man with whom Tasha hits it off instantly. And he needs her help. A fake marriage is the only thing that can save Pierre, and the two decide that since they're friends, being fake married will be easy. It's anything but simple...in the BEST way!

I just adore Savannah Scott's writing. I love it SO much, that if Savannah Scott turned out to be a fabulous Frenchman, and I wasn't already happily married, I would absolutely marry her. 🤣 But seriously, the woman knows how to write heartfelt, wholesome characters who hit me in all the feels. I laugh. I swoon. I know that whenever I open a Savannah Scott book, I'm going to be able to mentally kick my feet up and enjoy the ride. It's cozy. It's fun. It's clean, which means I can listen to it with my kids around and not have to worry. Honestly though, I enjoy my romances at a variety of spice levels, and I can attest to the fact that the slow-burn and sweet interactions between these characters carry just as much weight as the bedroom scenes in many of the spicier romances I've read. It's really impressive!

I had the pleasure of listening to this audio ARC, and I really enjoyed it! I LOVE how the male narrator did all of the voices for male characters, and the female narrator did all of the voices of the female characters. It reminded me of a radio show! I was also impressed with how they jumped through a variety of accents. It was playful, creative, and engaging!

I'd like to thank the Victory Editing Netgalley Co-op and Netgalley for the audio ARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

A sweet quick book, definitely one you could pick up after a heavier story, as other reviewers have shared.

The chemistry between Tasha and Pierre is there from their first interaction, I loved the idea between the unexpected author reveal and the romance that follows.

The narration was done well, the French accent took a little getting used to, but I loved that the female parts were read by the the female narrator so we had consistency with the voices.

Overall a nice autumnal read, which works as a standalone.

This one grew on me. I struggled with the male narrator at first but I got used to it by the end. The French accent felt a little overdone and not authentic. I liked Pierre’s character though and even though the feelings are fast, it didn’t feel like instalove to me. Tasha was also a loveable character and I really liked how she calmed him at times. I wish the marriage had happened a little earlier in the story to create more tension but it was there in the end. There were also some truly funny moments as they tried to convince his family that it’s a real marriage. I liked where the story ended and how the epilogue wrapped up things.

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley. The thoughts and opinions in this review are my own.

Content Notes: Kisses, closed door intimacy implied

3.5 🌟/ 5

Thank you NetGalley for the audiobook arc of " A Not So Fictional Fall" by Savannah Scott.

Such a fun and wholesome rom-com! I very much enjoyed the story and the narrators were great. I thought the story could have had a bit more suspense or some kind of obstacles the MCs have to overcome but overall I enjoyed this audiobook a lot.

A fun beach/poolside listen. I think a perfect book as a "palate cleanser" if you're previous read was heavy but you'd still like to get a well crafted story. I "read" this book through audio and the narrators did great. Each did their own characters and supporting characters well. I found no fault with the accents. To this American they sounded spot one! I appreciated the no long pauses that often can pull me out of an audiobook. For the story itself I must say marriage of convenience isn't my favorite trope so I was slower to get into the story but that is certanily a your mileage will vary and not on the author. I did enjoy myself while listening to this and getting into the story. Suspend a little disbelief and go enjoy this story! I found in the story great flow, characters, dialogue.
A few highlights:
*Pierre's family and best friend. So hilarious
* The final scene in the last chapter at the fountain
content info.: closed door but not squeaky clean, light marriage & bedroom humor/innuendo, no language
4.5 stars
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are 100% my own

I loved reading this book so I was so excited to see that they were releasing an audiobook. A Not So Fictional Fall is the sixth book in the Sweater Weather series.
I have to admit that I was a little disappointed with the audiobook. I think that the narrators just weren’t the best for me. I was so sad because I loved this book so much but the narrators made it harder for me to listen to it.
However this may still be a great fit for others. I know that many will love these two narrators and the story is still really good. I loved the romance between these characters and listening to them work through their struggles. I also love how it was dual narration, where the male narrator narrated all the male parts and the female narrator narrated all the female parts.
A Not So Fictional Fall is a lovely book and I would recommend this audiobook to those who enjoy rom-coms and enjoy some accents in their narration. A Not So Fictional Fall is a closed door romantic comedy.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher through Netgalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion, a positive review was not required.

"A Not So Fictional Fall," part of the Sweater Weather Series, offers a delightful escape into a cozy world filled with romance and autumn vibes. This fake marriage that turns into a real one delivers a sweet, low-spice read that’s just perfect for fall.

The story blends humor and heart, showcasing the ups and downs of an unconventional relationship, complete with some amusing lost-in-translation moments. While the characters might not be the most unforgettable, their journey is engaging enough to keep you hooked until the end. The chemistry between the protagonists is evident from the start, which makes the plot feel a bit predictable.

Overall, this book is ideal for anyone looking for a light, feel-good read. If you’re in the mood for a sweet romcom that captures the cozy spirit of fall, "A Not So Fictional Fall" is a lovely choice.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this ARC.

I really enjoyed the plot of this audiobook - I liked the way it played out with the hidden identity becoming public. I found it nice and light-hearted so was a nice easy listen. I enjoyed the interaction between the characters really sweet too!
I wouldn’t say the performance was my favourite I’ve ever listen to too but was still performed well on the whole.

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (3.5/5)

This was a nice little palette cleanser after reading some suspenseful thrillers.

I even learned a tiny bit of French while listening to this one.

Savannah Scott books are always nice easy reads. I usually don’t go for the instalove trope but I liked it in this book. You could really sense the bond and draw between the MCs. So I really enjoyed that.

The only drawback for me (and it’s totally a “me” issue)….the audiobook made me chuckle a little because at times I thought the male voice sounded like a cross between a Frenchman, Pepe Le Peu, Borat and Count Chocula 😂🤣😂. I think my brain just isn’t used to accents so it took me a minute to get vibing.

If you’re looking for a sweet romance (no spice) then definitely pick this one up.

Savannah Scott is the queen of sweet rom-coms. She builds a town/ world that welcomes you right in.

I read these two out of order, no big deal there. I love this small NC town filled with good coffee and loveable characters.

The narration is great and brings these two to life making you swoon and fall in love along the way.
