Book description
Tired of romance tropes that make you roll your eyes harder than a bad science experiment? Jillian Meadows' Give Me Butterflies is the antidote you didn't know you needed-especially as an audiobook. Forget the usual cardboard cutouts; here, the grumpy astronomer (Finn) isn't just brooding-he's grieving his sister, wrestling with his nieces' sadness, and failing at cooking dinner. The sunshine entomologist (Millie) isn't just chirpy; she's a curator who actually loves her job explaining insect life cycles to kids. Their dynamic isn't "opposites attract" fluff-it's two people with real, messy lives colliding over museum politics and, eventually, mutual respect.
The magic? Meadows makes STEM feel sexy. Finn's "nerdy astronomy ties" aren't just props-they're part of his character, and Millie's passion for butterflies isn't a gimmick but her core. The audiobook shines because the narrator nails Millie's infectious energy (you'll feel her optimism) and Finn's reluctant warmth (his grumpiness has layers, not just a scowl). You'll laugh at lines like, "Not that she's spent much time noticing his electric blue eyes," and sigh at how their tension builds-because it's rooted in actual stakes (her dream job, his grief), not just "accidental" touches.
It's not just another Ali Hazelwood clone (though fans will adore it). Meadows sidesteps the usual pitfalls: Finn's grief isn't a plot device to make him brooding; it's why he's so fiercely protective. Millie isn't "just" the happy one-she's anxious, driven, and the book never lets her shrink to fit his mood. The museum setting isn't a backdrop; it's alive with the thrill of discovery. And the audiobook? The pacing is perfect, matching the slow burn of their connection. You'll forget you're listening to a book and just... lean into the warmth, the witty banter about constellations versus caterpillars, and the quiet realization that sometimes, the person you think is a distraction is exactly who you need. Finally, a romance that treats its characters like humans-not just vehicles for swoons. Perfect for anyone who's ever loved a book that made them say, "Wait, this is why I read?"
