Book description
Joni Lark's songwriting's gone silent. Back in her North Carolina hometown, everything's shifting-her family's music venue closing, her mother fading, her best friend ghosting her. Then, a melody forms in her head: a voice that's both familiar and impossible. She's convinced it's stress... until the man behind that voice shows up, all gruff charm and a plan to finish the song together and break the connection. Sounds Like Love isn't just a romance; it's a love letter to music, memory, and the quiet magic that hums beneath ordinary lives.
Ashley Poston's genius here is making the fantastical feel utterly real. That persistent melody? It's not just a plot device-it's the heartbeat of the story, and the audiobook makes it impossible to ignore. The narrator, with a voice as warm and inviting as the Carolina coast, pulls you straight into Joni's headspace. You hear the ache in her silence, the sudden spark of that melody, the way her thoughts shift from frustration to wonder. You feel the rhythm of The Revelry's empty stage, the salt-kissed breeze of Vienna Shores, the weight of unspoken history.
What elevates this beyond a standard enemies-to-lovers tale is how Poston weaves the magic into the mundane. The connection isn't just about the song-it's about two people who've built walls against their own vulnerabilities, finding a way through each other's defenses, note by note. The chemistry crackles, but it's the quiet moments that linger: Joni watching her mother's fading memories, the shared understanding over a half-written lyric, the way the setting itself becomes a character, humming with past concerts and future possibilities.
The audiobook format is perfect. You don't just read Joni's internal struggle; you hear it-the frustration, the hope, the sudden, overwhelming joy of a melody finally clicking. The narrator's pacing mirrors the story's rhythm: slow, deliberate for the small-town atmosphere, building to those electric, soaring moments. You'll find yourself leaning in, catching every whispered line, every unspoken tension between Joni and the musician whose voice she's carried inside her for months.
This isn't just a book about finding love. It's about finding your voice again-both the one you sing and the one that finally answers you. Poston crafts a story that feels deeply personal, effortlessly engaging, and utterly immersive. The magic isn't flashy; it's the quiet certainty that sometimes, the most unexpected connection is the one that finally makes you feel whole. You'll finish this audiobook feeling like you've just heard your favorite song for the first time, all over again. And you'll be humming it long after the final chapter.
