Author: Lauren Blakely
Narrator: Full cast
Title: One of Those Flings
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Novella, Short story, Humor
Format: Audiobook
Published: August 31, 2020
Where I got It: Audible

Summary: 
Skyler’s breakup survival plan is simple: Swear off men for a year and celebrate her man cleanse with a solo tropical vacation to Hawaii. Snorkeling, sightseeing, zip lining, and leisurely dinners by the sea are just what the doctor ordered to mend her broken heart.

That is, until she meets a hunky adventure tour guide who makes her want to break all her own rules. Handsome, funny, and exciting, Caleb is by far the hottest local attraction. Will a romantic island fling lead to more heartbreak - or a new beginning?


Review:
Weee! Short story!

Here we follow Caleb and Skyler. They both survived a bad break-up and refuse to date for a while. Skyler decides to take a nice vacation to celebrate her 1 year of single-hood. That is.....until she meets Caleb. Caleb is a tour guide and lives life by the rules. 

So this was a full cast of narrators. It is more like a movie that you can't see and it worked well. Simple and fun. 

It was really short and it was fine. I did want more of an epilogue but it is what it is. 

Cute couple. Fun local. And some humor sprinkled in. It was a nice short. 

Thank you Blodeuedd for the recommendation ;) It was fun. 

3 stars.

Ok so this one was really short, but that is why I chose it.

I have not listened to many books like this, or any. It was entirely told through dialogue, and it does work well. But it was different because no inner thoughts, more like a movie then. A cast of narrators, sound effects, a lot for a short story.

But hey it worked for me. Girl goes on vacay alone, meets hot guy, and then they will eventually live happily ever after.

It works
