Annie Knows Everything

A Novel

Annie thinks she knows what’s best for everyone. But when her life goes sideways, the inner workings of her own heart become a total mystery—can she stumble her way to happily ever after?

“This is the tech-world romance I didn’t know I was craving. Crisply written, smart, and full of unique, quirky characters, this is a truly joyful and healing love story. I give it five big stars.”—Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script

After getting let go from her job and learning her sister is engaged to the worst man alive, Annie needs a win. Filling the open role in her company's data strategy team is just what the doctor ordered. So what if she doesn't know how to write code? How hard can it be? Surely Connor—the team's overworked, aggravating, and distractingly hot interim head—will soon realize how capable Annie is.

Annie sets her sights on landing this new job, even if that means ignoring the chemistry building between her and her new boss, and she tries to (gently!) convince her sister to reconsider her engagement. But with sparks flying at work and at home, she begins to see how complicated taking matters into her own hands can be. Maybe, just maybe, Annie doesn't actually know everything.

Great Listen, But Don’t Come for Connor Crais

New author for me, and I’m glad I picked it up. The narration carries this audiobook. It’s engaging, easy to get pulled into, and honestly what kept me locked in during slower moments. Just a heads up: if you’re here for Connor Crais, he only does the epilogue.

The story hooked me. There were stretches I couldn’t stop listening. It’s more of a slow burn than anything overly explicit, with a heavy focus on character development. The female lead isn’t exactly likable on paper, she has plenty of flaws, but somehow you still end up rooting for her. That’s either strong writing or great narration, probably both.

If you’re into tech startup culture, young post-college characters figuring things out, and a Manhattan backdrop, it hits that lane well. That said, I would’ve preferred a duet narration and more of the male POV throughout.
