Ridorkulous

Dorky Duet, Book 1

De: Mary Frame

Narrado por: Chris Chambers, Samantha Summers

Awkwardland. It's where I live. And I'm the president, mayor, and sole citizen.

Reese Jackson is living her safest life. This polymath is tired of trying to fit in with a small town that never knows what to do with her. Her absentee family may have forced her into dorm life for her own good, but she goes from her classes to her room and back - no parties, no dates, and no drawing attention.

Until one noisy night, when Reese gets kicked out of her dorm.

Fitz Moreland is living his okayest life. He's on his own to pay for college, but he's scraping by with an athletic scholarship and free rent with a friend. If he can keep it together, he's on track to graduate with a useful degree, especially now that he's finally said goodbye to his drama-loving ex-girlfriend.

Until one night, when she gets him kicked out of his house.

What happens when there's one single room left for rent in the entire town and two people who desperately need it? A merrymaking, money-seeking landlord arrives and throws them into a series of ridorkulous challenges to compete for it, of course. It's the dorky duckling versus the BMOC.

The winner will get a place to live-but the loser may just forfeit their heart.

Quirky Texas college town shenanigans

I normally don’t read about this age group but this one caught my eye. Many, many moons ago I went to university in a small Texas college town and this story reminded me of how many of us were weirdos/smart kids/creative kids or just plain misfits from other small towns finally flying our freak flags and trying to find our way in life. I could totally see a cast of characters like this. (Small pet peeve- Texans with deep multigenerational roots don’t think of themselves as Southern but maybe the Granma was from somewhere else). Cute story. Good as part of my audible library package.

Loved it.

Really cute Rom Com. Has a good story line and all around really good book.

So flippin’ good!!!!

I loved the book, but I have to say that both Chris Chambers and Samantha Summers did such a great job of bringing these characters to life! Samantha Summers was pure perfection as Reece who will forever be one of my absolute favorite characters. And Chris Chambers was great as Fitz but Jude definitely came alive! All I kept picturing was a very young Mathew McConaughey in a robe covered in cats!
I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Hilarious! Sweet! I loved it

I loved the book and I wish it wan't over. lol I really enjoyed it and I hope to find more of Mary Fram's books to read in the future. The main characters were lovable and the story was funny and sweet. I would recommend to anyone who's a lover of romantic comedies.

SWOON WORTHY🥰🥰🥰🥰

From start to finish...this was perfection!!! I totally fell in love with this couple. I hope there will be a follow up in the 2nd book in the series about this sweet adorable pair. This book all in all is IMO a must read/listen. The narration is superb!!! I just melted over Chris Chambers voice. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Matt is that Jude?

Mary Frame is one of my absolute favorite authors. After purchasing all the ebooks, my situation changed and audiobooks work better for me.

When I started this book. I had to pause rewind and double check… the male narrator sound just like Matthew McConaughey!

Jude’s character especially plays in my head as if it were the actor. One of the best audio performances I’ve ever heard.

Some of the voices were annoying

Literally just the title, I found some of the “crying voices” annoying and frustrating. However I did listen to it so it obviously wasn’t too bad

FUN-LOVING!!!!!

Fitz and Reese are just the cutest!!!! This had a good balance of fun, romance, and giggles. I love how the author managed to put such lovely moments with Reese’s new friends and cozy & humble feelings throughout the whole book. I truly loved how it turned out and I already bought the 2nd book for this series! 5/5 stars for me! I truly recommend it if you want a sweet, swooned-worthy, and enjoyable read! Such a page turner :). The audio for this book is amazing- this is a book you would listen over and over!

GOOD

Feel like this was good but not great. It was difficult to believe the connection between the two main characters for some reason for me. It just seemed to never get there for me. I stayed to the end but wasn’t excited to hear the ending. Narrators were FABULOUS! Loved their accents.

Such a cute story!

It’s been a while since I have read a good college romance, and this cute story really reminded me what I’ve been missing! I love that it was set in Texas, and the characters were written so well! The narrators truly did an amazing job with capturing their characters which made them really come to life. I highly recommend this as well as Mary Frame’s other books!
