Noelle Shepard is at a near-rock-bottom standstill. Not only did she lose her job and have to move back in with her parents, but she is also mourning her beloved grandmother’s unexpected death. When she discovers that her grandmother had a secret love before marrying her grandfather, Noelle posts on TikTok, hoping to identify the man. The post goes viral, and the man’s grandson soon replies, leading Noelle to meet her grandmother’s first love, Paul. There are more surprises in store. It turns out that Paul’s grandson is none other than Noelle’s high school nemesis, Theo Spencer. The three embark on the honeymoon road trip the grandparents never took, reigniting Noelle’s passion for photography and making her reevaluate her feelings for Theo too. Joyce’s enemies-to-lovers debut romance showcases narrator Kyla Garcia’s talents. Garcia expertly and believably captures Noelle, Theo, and Paul, as well as secondary characters. She takes listeners along for Paul’s nostalgic journey down memory lane and sensitively captures Noelle’s myriad of emotions as she learns about her grandmother’s past, rediscovers herself, and falls in love.
VERDICT Garcia’s entertaining and expressive performance is a delight. A great addition to any contemporary romance collection.
