The Checklist

By: Addie Woolridge

Narrated by: Adenrele Ojo

In an energetic debut novel about personal and professional chaos, author Addie Woolridge introduces a multicultural cast whose exploits are redefining the modern rom-com.

Killing it at work? Check. Gorgeous boyfriend? Check. Ambitions derailed by an insecure boss? Sigh - check.

Things were going a little too well for Dylan Delacroix. After upstaging her boss on a big account, she gets dispatched to the last place she wants to be: her hometown, Seattle. There, she must use her superstar corporate-consulting skills to curb the worst impulses of an impossibly eccentric tech CEO - if she doesn’t, she’s fired.

The fun doesn’t stop there: Dylan must also negotiate a ceasefire in the endless war between her bohemian parents and the straitlaced neighbors. Adding to the chaos is a wilting relationship with her boyfriend and a blossoming attraction to the neighbors’ smoking-hot son.

Suddenly Dylan has a million checklists, each a mile long. As personal and professional pressures mount, she finds it harder and harder to stay on track. Having always relied on her ability to manage the world around her, Dylan’s going to need a new plan. She may be down, but she’s definitely not out.

The slowest of all slow burns

If you’re looking for primary romance plot, please look else where. The primary story focuses on career and family challenges with a dash of hot romance on the side. I mean it was decent for what it was but would not pick up for a reread as a romance novel

I really enjoyed it

I'm glad I ignored the low reviews or I would've missed a really good story, The narrator did a great

Good entertainment

I feel like this was a fun and enjoyable book to listen to while in the car workout too much thought.

Coming Home

Dylan left her family and friends behind for a life of normalcy (organization and schedule time). When she has to return home due to a work project, she never realized how important family and friends will be come.

Perfect

This book will grip at your heart strings. It doesn’t just tell a love story it has you rooting for every character. Couldn’t put it down, can’t wait to see what she has to offer next.
