Book description
Forget everything you thought you knew about family dinners. Tessa Bailey's Dream Girl Drama isn't just a rom-com-it's a masterclass in chaotic, deliciously awkward romance, and the audiobook version? Pure, unadulterated joy. Picture this: hockey player Sig Gauthier, stranded at a fancy country club with zero signal, meets Chloe Clifford-chaotic energy, champagne thief, and the kind of girl who makes you forget your own name. They kiss under moonlight. It's perfect. Until he shows up for dinner with his dad... and Chloe's mom is there. Oh, and they're engaged. Her mom. His dad. Cue the existential panic.
The magic here? It's all in the delivery. The audiobook narrator nails Chloe's breathless, chaotic energy-like she's whispering secrets while stealing a flute of bubbly-and Sig's gruff-but-soft charm practically vibrates through your headphones. You hear the sizzle when their accidental first kiss happens mid-champagne theft (yes, she literally steals it from the bar). And that dinner scene? The narrator makes the silence scream. You can practically hear Chloe's internal "Oh no oh no oh no" while Sig's dad casually mentions "the engagement." It's the kind of awkward you want to replay just to laugh at how gloriously messed up it is.
Bailey's trademark wit shines brightest when the "can't be together" tension gets ridiculous. Chloe's a harp prodigy trapped in a gilded cage, Sig's a famous athlete who's never had to ask for anything. Their "no bedroom" pact? Adorable. The way they try to be just friends while practically vibrating with "I want to kiss you so bad" energy? Chef's kiss. The audiobook makes their banter feel like a late-night text thread you're definitely not supposed to read but can't stop scrolling through. You'll laugh out loud at Chloe's "I don't do normal!" and sigh at Sig's "You're my favorite disaster."
And the family drama? Chef's kiss. Chloe's mom is the ultimate "I raised a perfect daughter" villain (with a side of I've been planning this engagement since before you were born), and Sig's dad is the sweet, oblivious guy who just wants his son happy. The audiobook cranks up the comedy with little vocal quirks-like Chloe's mom saying "Darling" with just enough condescension to make you want to hand her a mic and say "Say it again, but make it a meme."
This isn't just a book you listen to-it's a vibe. It's the sound of your favorite friend shrieking "OH MY GOD THEY'RE SIBLINGS?!" while you both lose your minds laughing. Bailey's writing is sharp, the characters are lovable messes, and the audiobook? It's like the best gossip session with your most chaotic BFF. You'll finish it feeling like you've been hugged by a warm, slightly ridiculous, very satisfying rom-com. And honestly? You'll be counting down the seconds until the next book. Because let's be real: Sig and Chloe's "just friends" act is not sustainable, and the audiobook makes you need to hear what happens next. Pure, uncut, giggly, heart-fluttering fun. You've been warned.
