The Year of What If

By: Phaedra Patrick

Narrated by: Callie Louise

Can the future be rewritten?

On the verge of her second marriage, Carla Carter knows she’s finally found the one. She and her fiancé, Tom, met through Logical Love, a dating agency she founded for the pragmatically minded, and she’s confident that, together, they will dispel an old family curse claiming Carter women are unlucky in love.

For peace of mind, Carla’s family insists she visit a fortune teller before she ties the knot. Except the tarot unexpectedly reveals that the love of Carla’s life is not Tom, but one of the several men she briefly dated during her European gap year—twenty-one years ago. Only weeks away from her big day, Carla sets off across Europe to track down her exes from that unforgettable year, desperate to prove the fortune teller wrong. From Spain to Portugal, Italy to France, will one be her perfect match? And can a face from her past help Carla rewrite her entire family history—forever?

I couldn't get past Carla's voice.

Engaging story, couldn't connect with the reader. I listen to at least 3 audible books per month. I've never had such trouble connecting a voice to a character. It was difficult to stay with the book.

Great storyline!

Great storyline. This book included a nice twist! Some nice surprises. The book was Great!

Hard to get into

Didn’t like as much as her past books and found it harder to get into. Stuck it out and am glad I did. Okay overall and liked the characters.
