Maid of Dishonor

Love Mishaps, Book 1

By: Gracie Ruth Mitchell

Narrated by: Eva Wilhelm, Austin Rising

Samantha Quinn: Baseball lover. Plant mama. Eternal friend zone dweller. I know exactly three things:

1) My heart will forever belong to my best friend, Carter.

2) Carter's heart will never belong to me.

3) I will therefore die alone, surrounded by my houseplants, probably old and grouchy like my eighty-two-year-old landlady, Winifred.

But now Carter's cousin wants my help planning her wedding, while Carter wants my help stopping it. How am I supposed to both plan and sabotage a wedding at the same time? How do I talk to Carter about weddings all day without my heart fracturing? And how, how, how do I ditch this stupid friend zone once and for all?

Carter Ellis: P.E. teacher. Baseball coach. Also, attractive. Very, very attractive.

I am not secretly in love with my best friend. I absolutely am not. That would be stupid and reckless and a terrible idea all around. I swore I would never fall in love, and that's not going to change now. Except...one tiny little kiss has all sorts of feelings rising in my chest. Feelings I was certain I buried a long time ago.

But it doesn't matter; I refuse to give in. I will laugh with her, talk with her, and dry her tears, but I will not fall in love with Samantha Quinn.

good listen

the narrators did a great job. the story was well developed and funny. no spice

Fun!

This was so fun! I loved it! It was funny, but also full of heart & such a sweet friendship that turned into more. Two thumbs way up!

Predictable and hard not to give up on it

Fairly boring story that I frequently stopped out of disinterest. The female’s articulation for some reason bothered me- mainly her drawn out m’s and y’s. Completely subjective, of course.
