The One Who Loves You

Tickled Pink, Book 1

By: Pippa Grant

Narrated by: Savannah Peachwood, Sebastian York

From USA Today bestselling author Pippa Grant comes a fabulously sharp-witted romantic comedy about a socialite’s fall from elitist grace to backcountry purgatory - and her accidental tumble into love.

If the Upper East Side had an evil twin, it would be Tickled Pink, Wisconsin. This run-down, backwoods town isn’t worthy of the footprint of my Louboutins, never mind all of me.

But when my grandmother has a near-death experience and realizes we Lightlys can’t buy our way into heaven, she relocates the family to Tickled Pink to work on improving our souls. And that’s how I trade my heiress existence for gigantic bugs, dishwater coffee, and a cranky single dad named Teague Miller.

Teague spends his days fishing, raising his spunky teenager, and after an unfortunate incident involving cheese curds, living rent-free in my head. The one thing he and I can agree on is that I don’t belong here. He’s willing to help me escape - until the unexpected happens.

I kind of like him. I might even more than like him.

But am I ready to give up the life I adored for a man I love to hate?

Critic reviews

“Grant brings both passion and wit to this love story, with genuine characters, a charming exploration of Phoebe’s growth, and a setup that will put readers in mind of Schitt’s Creek. This is sure to put a smile on any romance lover’s face.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Forced into becoming a better person and finding love

This is a masterful tale of enlightenment and growth sneakily wrapped in a romcom. It is story full of swoons, quirky townspeople, love, absurdity, drama, sweet moments, strong families, dysfunctional families, sexy times, painful pasts, and love. And while the book is funny, it is also a deeply emotional book. At its heart, it’s a story of stunted, damaged and bruised but not broken people who find their way together by owning their choices, recognizing their scars, embracing life, and deciding to be the best version of themselves. It’s a story about the power of choice. Phoebe Lightly is a workaholic socialite with a middle management position in her family’s company whose main goal is to be the CEO one day. She is not a very nice person and her family is all kinds of dysfunctional. When her grandmother, Gigi, the matriarch and tyrant of the family, almost chokes to death, she decides the entire family needs to move to Tickled Pink, a small town in Wisconsin, which is home to a famous movie so that they can become better people and save their souls. Teague Miller is a divorced single dad who lives in a tree house in Tickled Pink, owns goats, sells real estate, fishes, and has secrets. Phoebe’s relationship with Teague starts off with falling in the lake during negotiations so it can only go up from there and up it goes into something much deeper and much more meaningful. The book is well written, has characters with a lot of depth, plenty of witty dialogue, hilarious moments, and an engaging storyline. The book hooks you in from the first word to the last and the transformation of Phoebe will give you all the feels - snort laughing, crying, swooning, gasping, cringing, teeth gritting, and cheering. I have read and loved every one of Pippa Grant’s books but this is my absolute favorite book, one I will read multiple times. I am also super excited to read the next book in this series.

This is a dual narration. Savannah Peachwood makes a perfect strong but vulnerable Phoebe and Sebastian York is fantastic as growly put upon Teague. Their combined talents add a richer dimension to an already phenomenal story.

Fun read!

This one was really cute! Definitely gave me a bit of Schitt’s Creek vibes with the rich family living in a small town.

I loved Phoebe’s growth and the crazy twist I did not see coming! Teague is such a grumpy single dad, you can’t help but love him!

It was a great romcom and the narrators were awesome!

Adorably funny!

Manhattan socialite heiress, Phoebe Lightly, and her parents and siblings, have been blackmailed into occupying and renovating an old high school building. Blackmailed by the family’s matriarch after her near death experience…Estelle Lightly wants her family to each become better ppl. That means that Phoebe, siblings & parents are stuck in a tiny Wisconsin town of Tickled Pink for a year…without WiFi!! The transition is hilarious!! Then their’s the town grump, Teagan, who doesn’t like the newest town residents but is drawn to Phoebe. This story about a socialite finding herself…and the secrets that may tear apart new relationship was enjoyable. Lots of laughs in Tickles Pink!

❤️❤️❤️

This was awkward, quirky, and funny, like a weird reality TV show 👐 "Elitists Living in the Sticks" 🤣 I want to live in a tree house...

Too fast

It had a decent plot It seemed like it moved too fast. They had a whole year to be there but everything happened within the 1st month. Get a stretch to doubt where things happen two months at a time . Who tells everybody they have biggest secret within the 1st month of meeting
