About this listen

Alice is in love with her best friend. Now all she needs to do is tell him.

Best buds Milo Manganiello and Alice Hooper have been the one constant in each other's lives for over 15 years. The charismatic and compassionate physics professor was there when Alice got married, and he was there 10 years later when she got divorced. Likewise, the candid and kind computer science professor has always been there for Milo. She babysits his apartment and plethora of houseplants when he's traveling, and they share breakfast together every day he's in town. Alice wasn't always in love with Milo, but the feeling has grown, and when Milo returns from his latest globe-trotting adventure, Alice decides it's time to spill the seeds.

Does Alice have the grit to confess? And will feelings take root? Or is hers a love destined never to bloom?

Live and Let Grow is a 14k-word (short) contemporary romance of long-suffering unrequited love and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Knuckle headed professors finally fess up to ❤️

Good thing the story starts at the end, essentially giving us the final chapter of this rom-com, after Milo and Alice have each spent years in the friend zone through their own bone-headedness. I would normally find the lack of communication annoyingly implausible, but this was so short, fun and sweet that I didn’t mind. This was a surprisingly complete story for a 1.5 hr novella. There’s 2-3 F bombs and 1 nooky scene after they finally fess up to their mutual love.

Cute romance

A cute and happy romance, perfect for a quick read.

We all know that romance can be hard, and this one has complications.

Friends to Lovers

I thought it was a sweet friend-to-lover story. I would recommend; it's a short listen.

Great snippet. I love her characters..

In this short story we get a nice dose of Penny’s writing without risking a long binge where you won’t get any sleep.

short and sweet!

cute, short, sweet and ends with some spice.
I adore the quirky characters Penny creates!

Friends to lovers is a favorite trope and usually a slow burn so I enjoyed the quick pace of this mini novella.

Fiona Fischer is a new narrator for me.

Cute

A sweet story that was just the right length for two dopes who can’t just come out with it already. I enjoyed shaking my head at their interactions.

Very good

I loved it because it shows what majority people go through. From hesitating and not taking that foot forward afraid of what the other may think. I’m glad it worked out for them and didn’t give up.

Oh my heart!

This was such a wonderful story. It made my heart happy, I couldn’t stop smiling as I listen. Alice is just such a relatable character who you were cheering on and Milo oh, Milo you just knew he was swoon-worthy even before you met him and proceeded to fall in love with him.

So happy to get lost in their story.
