About this listen

Eric O’Shea needs to make a decision. The annual event his family forces him to attend is just around the corner, and he doesn’t have a date.

Eric never needs help when it comes to finding men. But this time is different – his ex and his new boyfriend will be there, and Eric can’t just bring along one of his usual flings.

His only hope seems to be him: the best friend of his best friend, who he never wanted to meet.

Sean Quinn is a calm, collected, and cultured man; someone who would rather stay at home and read a book than waste his time chasing a date with no future.

Sean isn’t in a rush to find the perfect man, and he certainly doesn’t intend to go out with Eric: his best friend’s other best friend, who he’s avoided meeting for years.

But Sean has a flaw: he can’t say no to anyone, especially not when it comes to his friend Jake, who has a habit of worming his way into other people’s lives.

But it’s just one date, after all: pure fiction. It’s a shame, then, that when Eric needs Sean for another favour, he can’t turn his back. It’s a shame that just when Sean is beginning to understand that Eric isn’t what he seems, he can’t seem to stop before he gets hurt.

Twenty-one days: that’s the agreement.

Twenty-one days of grazing hands, furtive glances, and unexpected kisses.

Twenty-one days where anything goes; except falling in love.

While the narrator has a pleasant voice they are wholly unsuited to the task of narrating fiction with multiple characters and dialogues. Nearly monotone peppered with bizarre inflections with no attempt to delineate characters at all. The audio editing doesn’t help - it sounds like the narrator is reading off page numbers - with abrupt chapter headings. There are multiple audio issues with poor takes. It’s just not done with any care. The story is all right and would succeed with better production but the final chapters are just a run on of would-be steamy content delivered with all the intensity of a phone directory. Plot has since run out of steam by then and the writer can’t even be bothered to retain the verisimilitude of Christmas Day, of all things. Best avoided.
