Style Me, Book 1

Up-and-coming luxury brand Phallacy takes red-carpet fashion by storm…

Growing a fashion atelier from the ground up isn’t easy, but it’s still awesome. I design gorgeous clothes that people pay a lot of money for, I work with my best friend, and Hollywood A-listers are starting to murmur my name. Things couldn’t be better.

Except anxiety is a beast that’s ridden me my whole life. It doesn’t matter how good things might be, there’s always something it takes exception to. And when my baseline stress starts to rise, I become nonverbal.

Which is why my first encounter with celebrity stylist Griff Pevensy is both a dream and a nightmare. I have the chance to design an awards gown for one of the most iconic women in the industry, but a mostly silent meeting plus a design that’s not really his style aren’t likely to get me past gatekeeper Griff. If I want to make this gown, I need to connect with him and win him over.

That turns out to be a lot easier than expected. Who knew I’d have so much in common with an ex-Marine stylist who prefers to communicate in grunts? We both love fashion, his perfect princess dog, hanging out with my codependent friends… and maybe each other.

The new problem is… how unprofessional can we get before people notice? And how much do I care?

Awesome story!

I loved this audiobook! I can't wait for the next book to come out! I hope it's the one guy and his grumpy ex boss. 😆 I'm so happy Greg Boudreaux is the narrator for this because he's amazing!

Good Weekend Listen

This was a good weekend listen. I enjoyed the story, but felt it was all a bit surface level. We didn’t really get to dive into any of the many aspects of either character’s life. We know Paul has famous friends, and it sounds like maybe they have been in previous books. I don’t know that I’ve seen those, so I was a bit lost.

I did like learning more about anxiety and selective mutism. I thought that was well done by the author.

All in all a good listen. Greg Boudreaux is a favorite narrator of mine. He always does a great job.
