The Wrong McElroy

By: KL Hughes

Narrated by: Nicole Blessing

An amusing, charming lesbian romance about finding unexpected love inside family expectations.

When Fiona Ng’s best friend, Michael, needs a pretend girlfriend to bring home for Christmas in Arkansas, Fiona girds her loins and steps up. Besides, how hard could one festive family weekend be, anyway? That’s before she meets the boisterous McElroy clan, with accents as thick as a homemade pie crust, and an endless supply of competitive siblings, including Lizzie, Michael’s beautiful younger sister.

Lizzie seems to be everywhere, with her intoxicating scent, wandering hands, lingering gaze, and that bright, echoing laugh. The more time Fiona spends in her orbit, she wonders how she can even concentrate let alone pull off a convincing fake relationship.

Fun time listening!

I loved it! It was super playful and light, with just the right amount of emotions!

A book with a tiny twist...

Few weeks ago I read a similar book, very similar story line but this one as a small difference so I guess it has the right to exist. Towards the end there is a sex scene just because the writer thought if there is no sex scene it will not be a good sell... completely out of place. And illogical.
Narration was Ok but could be better.

i lobe this

i wish i had a family like this. i would enjoyed my coming out story so much more.

Might be a frequent listen!

I listened to the audio version and loved it! The circumstances are very fun in so many ways. There's family drama and truth-telling. It's a different take on the fake relationship. I just think we need a sequel. What happens now? The narrator is really good. I heard some errors, but not many, and I don't know if they were on the part of the author or the narrator. I still really enjoyed the story. The narrator did an excellent job with the accents that brought the characters to life. The setting was vivid also. I especially liked the aspects about race. And the competitions were loads of fun! This might be a frequent listen! The only criticism I have is that things happened quickly and somewhat inappropriately (sex) and then the book was over. Don't get me wrong; we got enough of the story, but I can't stop thinking about what will happen next. I guess leaving me wanting more is a good thing!

Great book that I only wish was longer

I love this author and own both of her other books already. I jumped at the chance to add this one to my collection and I don’t regret it. The characters were funny and the story was engaging. The ending was good but I wish it could have been a bit longer. Maybe an epilogue or something but the last line had me laughing. It’s more that I just wanted more time with the characters rather than needing it though. Don’t wait on this one, it’s definitely worth the credit.
