After a disastrous day at work, culminating in her team dismissing her latest proposal, app designer Sara Chae decides to strike out on her own. She knows that her app, which could be used to send final words to friends and family upon one’s death, has value. One night, fueled by alcohol and anger, she even drafts her own set of postmortem messages, to everyone from her parents to her former boss to her secret high school crush. When a glitch results in those messages being sent while Sara is still very much alive, it is a huge embarrassment but also an opportunity. Sara’s open, honest words bring unexpected connections both personally and professionally. Park (The Do-Over) presents a hilarious, heartwarming contemporary workplace romance (BISAC’ed as women’s fiction) with a likable leading lady and quirky cast of supporting characters. Narrator Catherine Ho gives an engaging and expressive performance of Sara’s first-person perspective that will have listeners laughing out loud.
VERDICT This audio will appeal to listeners seeking a techy together-again romantic comedy that is upbeat and amusing. Recommended for fans of Ali Hazelwood, Lynn Painter, and Alisha Rai.
