Four Weekends and a Funeral

By: Ellie Palmer

Narrated by: Karissa Vacker

By the author of Anywhere With You, Ellie Palmer, this "cozy affirmation for introverts and homebodies" (Abby Jimenez) about a little white lie that spirals out of control is "the perfect romantic comedy" (Meredith Schorr).

She found the right guy at the dead wrong time . . .

When thirty-year-old post-double-mastectomy BRCA1 carrier and reluctant thrill-seeker Alison Mullally arrives at her ex-boyfriend Sam’s funeral to discover that no one knows he dumped her, she agrees to play the grieving girlfriend over the holidays for the sake of the family. Little did she know this would mean packing up Sam's apartment with his prickly best friend, Adam Berg. After all, it'll only take four weekends . . .

But Adam doesn’t want Alison anywhere near him. Forced to spend long hours with the grump and his monosyllabic demeanor, Alison decides to put her people-pleasing abilities to the test. She will make him like her. And after awkward family affairs, snowy mishaps, and packing up dilemmas, the two form a tenuous friendship . . . if "friendship" means incredible chemistry and sexual tension. Can Alison come clean and finally embrace the life and love she's always wanted? Or will her little white lie get in the way of her new, unexpected romance?

PERFECT EVERYTHING

This story with the performance equals perfection!!!!!!! SO SO SO GOOD TENS ACROSS THE BOARD

Perfection

I cannot wait to listen to more by this author. This book was absolutely perfect in every way. And Karissa here (aka Vanessa Edwin) was wonderful. I typically avoid books narrated by her because there is a whispery quality to her narration that just irks my senses, but I adored her interpretation of this story, particularly her turn as the MMC— positively charming. There were a few whispery moments that had me cringing a bit, but not enough to deter my adoration of the whole experience of this book.

Fabulous. Don’t skip this one!

Dreamy

Four Weekends and a Funeral was sooo good. Ellie Palmer did an interview saying she took inspiration from “while you were sleeping” and I couldn’t agree more. I loved the storyline and the characters so much. I’m excited to read more from this author. The narrator was amazing!!

Love in a time of grief.

Grief, love, friendship, and family. I love when a book in this category breaks the mold, has full main characters and supporting characters and flows in a natural human way. Nothing felt forced or questionable. Easy listening but also thoughtful and touched on guilt, therapy, and health.

Adorable rom com

Very detailed writing that makes you feel in the story and fall in love with the characters. Fun read! Love story gone right
