About this listen

From the author of Recipe for Second Chances comes a swoonworthy romance bursting with wit about a therapist who falls for the wrong man…but perhaps the right one was hiding in the margins all along.

As a relationship therapist, Nora helps patients explore their feelings honestly. But she’s hiding an embarrassing relationship secret of her own: she’s in love with someone she’s never even met.

J edits the advice column Nora’s been writing anonymously for the last seven years. He’s in London, she’s in New York, and they communicate solely through shared files. When he confides that his girlfriend’s out of the picture, and her boss asks her to come to London, Nora takes both as a sign.

But that’s not the only thing on her mind. A client’s ex-boyfriend just moved into her co-op, directly beneath her. Eli blames Nora for his breakup and seems determined to make her life miserable, gleefully planning a noisy renovation.

Yet despite all his bluster, Nora eventually starts to see the softness behind Eli’s brusque, charming exterior…and after a slipup reveals a startling secret, Nora wonders whether someone can be two things at once.

Critic reviews

“Carly Robins's warm, expressive narration suits this delightful rom-com set mainly in New York City.… Robins seamlessly shifts from Nora's hesitant persona to Eli's brash but kindhearted demeanor and to a lively supporting cast, including the elderly residents of Nora's building. This heartwarming rom-com is full of poignant moments, as well as laugh-out-loud scenes.”AudioFile Magazine

“A swoonworthy romance reminiscent of a Nora Ephron movie. Rosen’s enemies-to-lovers romance is a delightfully modern take on You’ve Got Mail, mixed with the kind of will-they, won’t-they sort-of love triangle that’s the bread and butter of all rom-coms…Readers will be eating it up happily.”Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“A fun read from cover to cover. Exceptional and memorable, Unlikely Story is a very highly recommended and popular pick…”—Midwest Book Review

I liked this story, and I did like the narrator but the attempt at the Scottish accent was awful. thankfully that was a teeny bit of the book but it was so jarring. a cross of Irish/Russian/cartoon Scots. definitely not a good Scottish accent. rest of the narration was very nice but please don't do a Scottish accent again.

fun story
