Synopsis:
This Psych 312 assignment just might send me off the deep end. Determining whether love at first sight really exists with Robbie Moravian as my project partner of all people?
He’s the sappiest man alive, so upbeat I could scream, and clearly rooting for happy endings at every turn. How does he not learn from experience considering our own meet-cute last semester almost got us expelled?
But we both need to pass this course to graduate. So we’re interviewing five random couples about their meet-cutes and relationships and spending all this time together. Which is certainly…educational.
Because it turns out Robbie isn’t just the charming golden boy I thought I knew. There’s some actual depth beneath all those lame dad jokes and the ‘70s-inspired thrift wardrobe (even if he does look ridiculously great in a flared collar). Next thing I know he’s walking me back to my office on the regular and finishing all my sentences and protecting me from freak storms, and…
Wait. Could Robbie be right? Can happy endings really come from unhappy beginnings? Is he about to change my entire world view?
Group projects are the worst.
Review:
If a new full-cast Cara Bastone audiobook comes out, you know I’m going to read it. They are always such a fun experience and I Love at First Psych might be the best one, performance-wise yet.
Everyone involved in this audiobook did such an amazing job. The acting was surprisingly good and you really can’t beat a good full-cast story. They are so immersive and entertaining.
The chemistry between Marigold and Robbie was palpable, the banter was top-notch and it actually felt like they were friends. I’m not going to spoil anything, but witnessing their friendship grow was really nice.
I loved the interview sections, they were definitely the best parts of the book. Obviously, this isn’t real, but it was so interesting to hear so many different love stories and how the couples met. It wasn’t my favourite story, but I really liked that the interview with the teens was actually taken seriously by Robbie and Marigold. They didn’t make fun of them for saying they are in love after only three weeks and it was love at first sight. Just because they’re young doesn’t mean they don’t know how they feel, it was very refreshing.
As Love at First Psych is basically like a show or film it’s so entertaining for its whole duration that I didn’t find myself checking how long was left very often. This is very rare for me, I have a pretty short attention span when it comes to audiobooks.
I’m a big fan of Cara Bastone’s romance novels and I’m now excited to see what she writes next. Hopefully, it’s another full-cast audiobook.
