    About this audiobook

    My mother's New Year's resolution for me was simple: make a serious effort at putting myself out there and dating again, and do it for one full year.


    Or until I fell in love. Whichever came first.


    How hard could one year of swipes and matches and awkward first dates be?


    In a word: bad.


    In nine words: bad and also hilarious, demoralizing, exhausting, and ridiculously amusing.


    But the only thing worse than dating in the era of hookup apps and unsolicited dick pics is the absolute whole-life-flail of falling in love.


    Narrated by Amy McFadden with Tim Paige.

    Produced by Blunder Woman Productions and One Night Stand Studios.

      Having not read Kate Canterbary’s work before, I selected The Magnolia Chronicles because of the genre and the narrators. Amy McFadden and Tim Paige are among my favorite vocal performers.

      As I began listening, I didn’t think this book would be something I’d enjoy. But, I’m glad I stuck it out. The humor was great…a bit crass in the early chapters, but became smart, well-crafted banter and exceptionally witty insights as the story progressed. The author’s take on dating and navigating relationships was hilarious, but didn’t diminish the deeper issues faced. Once the heroine, Magnolia, started clicking with a couple of men in her life, I really got into the book. With a foray into more of a social experiment, the plot really got interesting. Magnolia, aka Gigi, was introduced in Canterbary’s Walsh series. I didn’t read these in order, but it may be worth considering. The Magnolia Chronicles in the first in The Santillian Triplets series. I’ll definitely check out other books by Kate Canterbary!
