Actor Birdie Maxwell was once America’s sweetheart, with seemingly unending fame, fortune, and A-list perks. But when a video of an on-set squabble goes viral, she flees Hollywood to her hometown. There she stumbles upon an unsigned love letter from one of her exes, asking for a second chance—but which ex is it? Elliot O’Brien is a star reporter with a longtime crush on Birdie who jumps at the chance to write about her being back home. The two set out on an RV trip to uncover the author of the mysterious love letter. Along the way, they learn that love may be closer than they think. Scotch (The Rewind) takes listeners on a romantic road trip between friends who haven’t spoken in years. Helen Laser (Birdie), Dan Bittner (Elliot), and Andrew Eiden (newsreel announcer) narrate this witty romance with heart. Listeners will enjoy the banter between Birdie and Elliot as they road trip in a rickety old RV, facing physical, mental, and emotional obstacles in their quest to find the letter writer. What they discover is that love is closer to home than they imagined.
VERDICT An engagingly narrated road-trip romance for fans of Jessica Joyce’s You, with a View and Sarah Adler’s Mrs. Nash’s Ashes.
