What happens when a misanthrope meets the one person she doesn't want to be without?

Reese Walker doesn’t like people. What she likes is silence and being left alone. The thing she loves most about recording audiobooks is that she doesn’t have to leave her Chicago apartment to do it. And she hasn’t for nearly a year. But with an unavoidable bill going to collections that puts her sister’s treatment at risk, she has no choice but to take a job that pushes her out of her comfort zone.

After a disastrous blow to her career, Arden Abbott needs a comeback. Step one: a successful book launch, including an audiobook. She doesn’t trust anyone else to oversee every aspect of the project. It has to be flawless. Arden knows she’s ready to resume the life she had before her dreams fell apart, all she has to do is prove it …

My friend kept telling me to read this book. I think it's because she saw a similarity between Reese and me where being around people and loving silence are a big thing. I'm not gonna lie, I saw a lot of myself in Reese which made it even funnier.

Definitely a good, solid romance with humor and some angst. And while I tend to avoid books narrated by Abby Craden (not because she's not a good narrator but because, holy shit, she seems to be the only narrator for wlw books anymore and I'm just so burned out on her) but she absolutely rocked the shit out of this one. Especially Judith. I would love to see a TV series based on Judith. The Judes. Need more Judes.

Okay, if you like a good rom-com, you'll probably enjoy Must Love Silence.

Reese & Arden are the couple for me—they have this deep compatibility and grace in their awkwardness that, as a reader, makes it feel like they simply MUST be together. Their humor (or maybe more generally Bexley’s humor) is so witty and crisp, it’s divine.

I really enjoyed this book when I first read it 6 months ago, but rereading it as an audiobook reminded me of all the incredible things that this author has wrapped into the gift that is this book. There is a lot to unpack, but it’s not overdone. It has just the right balance of raw emotion and pain with lightness and sweetness. Perfection.


As expected, Abby Craden’s narration was superb.
