Husband Auditions

De: Angela Ruth Strong

Narrado por: Amy Rubinate, Kaipo Schwab

How far would you go to find the perfect husband? All the way back to the 1950s?

In a world full of happily-ever-after, Meri Newberg feels like the last young woman on the planet to be single, at least in her Christian friend group. So when she's handed a strange present at the latest wedding—a 1950s magazine article of "ways to get a husband"—she decides there's nothing to lose by trying out its advice. After all, she can't get any more single, can she?

Her brother's roommate sees the whole thing as a great opportunity. Not to fall in love—Kai Kamaka has no interest in the effort a serious relationship takes. No, this is a career jump start. He talks Meri into letting him film every silly husband-catching attempt for a new online show. If it goes viral, his career as a cameraman will be made.

When Meri Me debuts, it's an instant hit. People love watching her lasso men on street corners, drop handkerchiefs for unsuspecting potential beaus, and otherwise embarrass herself in pursuit of true love. But the longer this game goes on, the less sure Kai is that he wants Meri to snag anyone but him. The only problem is that he may not be the kind of husband material she's looking for . . .

Hilarious, amazing story!!

This story had me laughing out loud, almost the entire way through it! I listened to it while driving and almost had to pull over because I was laughing so hard. The story is very well written, and the characters are amazing, full of depth and coming to life right out of book/speakers!! While the MFC desires marriage more than anything else, the book has a serious side that showcases letting something become an idol in your life. And how failing to attain something can interfere with your walk with God. The ending has a surprise twist and I hope we get to see into the future in a later book! I loved the dual narration and I couldn’t have picked two more perfect people to narrate it! Bravo Angela, Amy, and Kaipo!! I don’t think five stars does it justice!! I very highly recommend this book!!

Very cute and wholesome

I love fiction, but this was my first time reading/listening to Christian fiction


At first I didn’t think I was gonna like this. The first chapter made me find the main character annoying and very woe is me, but as a 30 something year old single woman I realized she was just being very honest. Those were inner thoughts and they were very realistic.

I loved the plot, and got pulled into the story quickly after. This would be such a cute movie.

I love how what God wants for us is tied into this.

Can’t wait to read the sequel.

Different

Light and humorous. A little over-dramatic in places. Left a little room for a sequel .

A better love ❤️

I like that the characters learned that a love for God and themselves was the priority and the foundation. It was beautiful.

Cute rom- com

How many ways can you catch a date/husband with a list from the 50s? This was a fun book. It’s now current day and Kai is a videographer at church and he’s trying to get a better job too so he needs a demo video. Meri is the last of her friends to be single. Kai and Meri take the list from the 50s and start a YouTube channel and it’s pretty funny all the situations they get into! Enjoy!

I giggled my way through this!

I loved this book! Very refreshing. Definitely enjoyed the story line, the characters and the narration. They were just funny to me! And still had a great message and a great biblical message. When you live your life for what God wants, everything can flow much better than you doing it on your own!

FABULOUS

I loved this wonderful love story & so nice to have touch of adult wholesomeness ! Just really want to know the rest of the story! Narrator’s excellent!!!!

Wholesome

Contemporary and wholesome! Fun read! I would highly recommend this book and the author. Performed well.

Cute story

Cute romantic comedy. Definitely an easy read for light days. A little predictable but still enjoyable.

Least favorite in a while

This was one of my least favorite Christian Audiobooks that I’ve listened to in a while.

Kai was beyond annoying. With how they portrayed his character, I was actually irritated that him and Mary ended up together.
