Synopsis
Paint your toes. Pick up the wrong coffee and bagel order. Drive from Brooklyn to Jersey in traffic so slow you want to tear your hair out. It’s amazing all the useless things I can accomplish while on hold for three hours with customer service. Three hours when I should be getting the Date-in-a-Box website ready to launch at the big business expo in a few days. Except my shiny new website is glitching, and my inner rage-monster is ready to scorch some earth… when he finally picks up. Not the robot voice I expected but a real live human named Cal. He’s surprisingly helpful and really knows his stuff, even if he’s a little awkward…. in an adorable way.
And suddenly I’m flirting with him? And I think he’s flirting back.
And suddenly it’s been hours, and we’re still on the phone talking and ordering each other takeout while he trouble shoots my website.
And suddenly we’re exchanging numbers and sending texts and DMs every day, leaving voice mails (who even does that anymore?!).
And suddenly I’m wondering if it’s possible for two people fall in love at first talk.
My Review
I listened to Call Me Maybe on audio book and this was a really cute story. I was also really pleased with the narrated performance! It isn’t read like a book but kind of listens more like a radio program, which I liked.
This story follows Kal and Vera as Vera struggles to get tech support for her Date-in-the-box website. I actually really loved the idea of a date-in-a-box. Vera makes curated boxes for various occasions and she is under pressure to get her website fixed and launched before she introduces it to market.
Kal, is posing as a tech agent (that’s all I’ll say, I won’t spoil the ending!) and while he helps Vera with her website pre-launch, they talk back and forth and one thing leads to another. Before you know it, they’re flirting and it’s just a really cute exchange. This book gives you the warm fuzzy feelings of falling in love. I definitely enjoyed it and would recommend for a short novella!
The Cozy Cat Rating: ★★★★
Book Outlet does not pay me to share this with you. HOWEVER, I do regularly order from them and genuinely recommend them. When you sign up using my referral link, not only do you get $5 off your next book order, I also get a discount towards my next order when someone signs up with my referral link. So essentially, you and I are helping fund each other’s book addictions. 🤣 Thank you and you’re welcome!
