Love Songs Suck

By: Becky Monson

Narrated by: Holly Warren

Length: 8 hrs and 29 mins

Publisher's summary

After growing up in Nashville with two musician parents, I promised myself one thing—I would never, ever fall in love with anyone who had anything to do with the music scene. I will take my stable, albeit boring, accountant boyfriend, thank you very much, and live securely ever after. At least, that was the plan. Who knew one ridiculous party where boy band sensation Finn Thatcher showed up would turn my life completely upside down.

How dare he write a song about me. A song that went straight to number one. A song that messes everything up with his band. And who gets the blame for that? That’s right, me. I’m the new Yoko Ono. The only way to fix it is to give the world what it wants—a love story. We are talking the whole freaking fairy tale. Nothing says true love like a fake relationship. But what if it’s not so fake? What if I want the happily ever after? Or am I just another love song to Finn?

Sweet story - loved the witty writing!

The main character is so believable and down-to-earth that you feel like she could be one of your real-life friends. I loved how each chapter name was also a song title! Becky Monson is such a clever writer. The witty descriptions and dialogue made it especially fun. I wanted to read (listen) to this non-stop. Cute storyline that had me pulling for the characters and finished with a satisfying epilogue. Might be my favorite Becky Monson book yet!

Fun story!

Love Songs Suck is my first Becky Monson book so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I don’t like when things get too silly in a romcom, but I like a lot of humor, humor that feels natural and not forced. This story delivered just that! It hit all the right spots for me! I loved the first person narrative and I really liked both Louella and Finn. Their romance slowly builds as the story progresses so it feels realistic - it was perfection! I really loved their late night texting sessions! I also loved Louella’s relationship with her teenage sister and Finn’s family was awesome! The pacing in this story was perfect! It never slowed, so I never lost interest. My only issue with this storys is that there was mild language throughout. I would’ve been much happier without it. With that being said, I really enjoyed everything else about this romance.

I listened to the audiobook of this story, which I highly recommend. I really loved the narrator and the the way she voiced the characters and made them come alive.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own. 4.5 stars.

Great Narration

I loved this book the first time I read it. I think I love it even more now after listening to it. It is a fun read if you love boy bands, fake dating, and second chances. If you’re a rom-com lover you’ll love this one.

Cute Romance

The narration was wonderfully done! I enjoyed the story not usually a fan of love triangles but it was clear which guy you wanted to root for!

A sweet story

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The author did a fabulous job creating a storyline around music, fame and life. The main characters are so different and yet so the same. An adorable story that whisks you away on an adventure of romance and forgiveness.

Positively Charming, Sweet Romance

I absolutely LOVED this book! It was funny and swoony and all around adorable. The plot moved at a rate that wouldn’t allow me to stop until I knew how it was going to play out. I devoured it in two days, when it usually takes me a week or two to get through an audiobook. I just couldn’t stop listening to this one!

The audiobook narrator is FANTASTIC! She had a lot of personality in her performance and I loved the different voices she did for all of the characters. I felt fully immersed and the only thing that could have made it better was if the narrator had become a boy band singer and sung the lyrics for me. Just kidding, but I really wish I could go to a Finn Thatcher concert!

All the little pieces polished this book up to be positively charming. Song titles for every chapter. Original lyrics written out. Little domestic moments. Witty texting conversations. Unrequited love angst. Celebrity romance. And a happy dose of fake dating.

🔥Romance: Kissing (closed door/clean)

Review: Love Songs Suck

A terrific romantic comedy with an amazing narrator! I was wrapped up in the story and it took some very interesting a d surprising turns.

Narrator Holly Warren really brought Lou and her story to life. Her timing and vocal variations for the different characters was well done. I would definitely listen to her read another story.

Becky Monson is one of my all time favorite authors and this book has shot straight to the top of my list of favorites of hers! I adored the connection and friendship between Lou and Finn. My favorite aspect of this book was how their relationship built slowly from friendship to more and how tentative Lou was about how their lifestyles would mesh. It felt realistic and not rushed. The plot was so well paced that it never felt like it was lagging, I was fully engaged in their story the entire time.

The narrator, Holly Warren, does an amazing job transporting the listener into the story. She brought so much emotion with her narration that I was fully immersed. I will definitely be looking for more books narrated by her.
