The Odds of You

 

A meet-cute at 30,000 feet, a writing crisis, and an impulsive escape to Scotland. This audiobook had me hooked.

Sage wasn’t looking for a meet-cute at 30,000 feet, but the universe had other plans. On her way to Comic Con, the data-analyst-turned-surprisingly-bestselling-author finds herself instantly clicking with Theo, a rising star whose charm is matched only by his good looks. They have a spark and then Sage promptly shuts the door. Between social-media scrutiny, a looming deadline, and a sequel she can’t seem to write thanks to ADHD, anxiety, and a heavy dose of imposter syndrome, she decides she has no space for romance. So she does the only logical thing. She makes an impulsive escape to Scotland.

What was meant to be a quiet retreat to outrun family drama and reclaim her creative brain turns into something far more complicated and far more wonderful when Theo reappears. The Scottish setting is lush and moody and the chemistry simmers. Their banter is quick witted and fun, while their connection shines with tenderness and heat. I loved how sensitive, grounded, and quietly confident Theo felt, and Sage’s neurodivergent experience was written with so much care that she felt incredibly real on the page. Of course there’s a break up. But that gives each of them time to work out some family and career issues before finding their way back to each other. 

The audiobook brings all of this to life beautifully. Georgina Sadler’s narration is warm and expressive. It’s perfectly tuned to Sage’s emotional arc. She hits both the humor and the vulnerability.

This is a heartfelt, atmospheric, spicy second-chance romance that definitely worked for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
