Husband Auditions

A Novel

By: Angela Ruth Strong

Narrated by: Amy Rubinate, Kaipo Schwab

How far would you go to find the perfect husband? All the way back to the 1950s?

In a world full of happily-ever-after, Meri Newberg feels like the last young woman on the planet to be single, at least in her Christian friend group. So when she's handed a strange present at the latest wedding—a 1950s magazine article of "ways to get a husband"—she decides there's nothing to lose by trying out its advice. After all, she can't get any more single, can she?

Her brother's roommate sees the whole thing as a great opportunity. Not to fall in love—Kai Kamaka has no interest in the effort a serious relationship takes. No, this is a career jump start. He talks Meri into letting him film every silly husband-catching attempt for a new online show. If it goes viral, his career as a cameraman will be made.

When Meri Me debuts, it's an instant hit. People love watching her lasso men on street corners, drop handkerchiefs for unsuspecting potential beaus, and otherwise embarrass herself in pursuit of true love. But the longer this game goes on, the less sure Kai is that he wants Meri to snag anyone but him. The only problem is that he may not be the kind of husband material she's looking for . . .

Hilarious, amazing story!!

This story had me laughing out loud, almost the entire way through it! I listened to it while driving and almost had to pull over because I was laughing so hard. The story is very well written, and the characters are amazing, full of depth and coming to life right out of book/speakers!! While the MFC desires marriage more than anything else, the book has a serious side that showcases letting something become an idol in your life. And how failing to attain something can interfere with your walk with God. The ending has a surprise twist and I hope we get to see into the future in a later book! I loved the dual narration and I couldn’t have picked two more perfect people to narrate it! Bravo Angela, Amy, and Kaipo!! I don’t think five stars does it justice!! I very highly recommend this book!!

Fun

The marriage list is so funny. And it’s great that ending didn’t involve people changing who they are for the other

Very cute and wholesome

I love fiction, but this was my first time reading/listening to Christian fiction


At first I didn’t think I was gonna like this. The first chapter made me find the main character annoying and very woe is me, but as a 30 something year old single woman I realized she was just being very honest. Those were inner thoughts and they were very realistic.

I loved the plot, and got pulled into the story quickly after. This would be such a cute movie.

I love how what God wants for us is tied into this.

Can’t wait to read the sequel.

Fun Read

Such a cute read, I'll admit I'm more of a historical fan, but I will say the kisses and almost kisses were 😍.

FABULOUS

I loved this wonderful love story & so nice to have touch of adult wholesomeness ! Just really want to know the rest of the story! Narrator’s excellent!!!!
