    About this audiobook

    Lindy

    They don't call me Belinda Boring for nothing. It's my name, after all. And for a twenty-three-year-old with plain brown hair who still lives at home and gets tongue tied over nothing, it's a fitting one. I'm not even one of those quiet girls with a hidden talent, unless making a mean order of nachos at the NHL arena I work at counts. My life consists of working, reading, and harboring a secret crush on a hockey player who doesn't know I exist. At least, until we accidentally meet and become unlikely friends.

    Victor

    I'm living the dream. A poor kid who worked his way into the NHL, I'll never forget where I came from, though I try to. My past follows me, a nagging reminder that I'll never be what everyone thinks I am. As the threat of my secret being exposed looms closer, my game slips, leaving me in danger of being cut from my team-the only family I have. I'm losing my hold on everything when a new friend helps me find hope. She's nothing like the women I'm used to, but by the time I figure out that's exactly why she's right for me, I've lost my chance with her. Somehow, I have to convince a woman who thinks she's invisible that she's the only one I see.

    Contains mature themes.

      A Perfect Match

      It’s my sister’s fault that I’m standing outside a hair salon on the Saturday of my anniversary, too scared to go in. I’m not sure I was this nervous on my actual wedding day. Androulla had been bugging me for months that my look needed “updating” an

      Nov 7, 2021

      I don’t see the joy in vacuuming. Several reasons: Dustiness doesn’t bother me in the way untidiness does. I get zilch pleasure from the vacuuming process. And I have a blokeish “someone else can do it” attitude, pretty standard among my peers. At le

      Boring narration for Ms Boring. Beginning of story was interesting but the monotone narration drove me away. Maybe I'll try the ebook.
    • 5/5
      This was a bucket of fun, Lindy, her family and friends were a riot. Oh the poster with kisses. ? Athletes in general hilariously tap into their inner kid. Victor struggles to get his mojo back, he’s willing to put in the work, and take any advice that helps. Vic & Lindy have a friend zone going, it’s sweet & supportive along the way they get a little help from friends and teammates. It’s a slow burn but doesn’t drag out way past it’s welcome. That said. Victor has a serious subplot, subject of childhood sexual abuse and how that manifests ( in even most successful adults) it can’t be said enough that fear & shame allow abuser’s to continue to torment victims. Victims don’t just grow out it and move along.
