Love at First Set

A Novel

By: Jennifer Dugan

Narrated by: Lori Prince

Sometimes true love takes a little heavy lifting

""The most hilarious disaster bisexuals you’ll ever meet.” —Dahlia Adler, Buzzfeed Books

This irresistible adult debut from beloved YA author Jennifer Dugan is a queer romcom for fans of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care and Written in the Stars, in which a gym employee accidentally ruins her bosses’ daughter’s wedding, then even more accidentally falls for the runaway bride...

The gym is Lizzie’s life—it’s her passion, her job, and the only place that’s ever felt like home. Unfortunately, her bosses consider her a glorified check-in girl at best, and the gym punching bag at worst.

When their son, Lizzie’s best friend, James, begs her to be his plus one at his perfect sister Cara’s wedding, things go wrong immediately, and culminate in Lizzie giving a drunken pep talk to a hot stranger in the women’s bathroom—except that stranger is actually the bride-to-be, and Lizzie has accidentally convinced her to ditch her groom.

Now, newly directionless Cara is on a quest to find herself, and Lizzie—desperate to make sure her bosses never find out her role in this fiasco—gets strong-armed by James into “entertaining” her. Cara doesn’t have to know it’s a setup; it’ll just be a quick fling before she sobers up and goes back to her real life. After all, how could someone like Cara fall for someone like Lizzie, with no career and no future?

But the more Lizzie gets to know Cara, the more she likes her, and the bigger the potential disaster if any of her rapidly multiplying secrets get out. Because now it’s not just Lizzie’s job and entire future on the line, but also the girl of her dreams.

The gym-girl cadence is giving me life

I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and this is by far one of my favorites. There is something very special about to the gym-rat swagger/cadence that is perfect with the female lead. As a gym rat myself cannot get over how awesome it is to have that is part of the character's voice. This is such a great story!

the chaotic energy and love is everything

A great narrator, a chaotic, but adorable relationship and high stakes throughout this cute romcom story. 10/10.

loved it

Storyline was great. Lori Prince is as always great to listen to. Characters' build-up was great. Very funny and entertaining.

Love at First Set

I read this one a while ago and really enjoyed it ☺️

Liz and Cara almost seemed destined to meet and have both their Iives blown up, lol.

The gist of the story - Liz and James are best friends. James and Cara are a very competitive brother/sister pair. Their parents are George and Stella, who also own the gym that Liz and James work at. They don't like Liz. Cara likes Liz.

~cue dysfunctional family dynamic

There is so much mess to sort out, but it's the good kind that keeps you invested in the story! Also makes for some funny moments, too. A very good read👌

I enjoyed the narration, and the inner dialog was hilarious

Great book. I was not disappointed with my purchase. I read it in 2 days!
