PROMISE ME SUNSHINE

Narrated by Alex Finke, this rom-com follows Lenny, a young woman who has just lost her best friend to cancer and can't figure out how to live without her. At her new nanny job, Lenny meets Miles, the grumpy uncle of her babysitting charge who checks in on his niece daily. Miles is no stranger to grief, and he agrees to help Lenny complete a "Live Again" list that her best friend wrote for her before she passed. Finke is animated and lively, even when Lenny is at her lowest. Finke's inflections, timely pauses, nervous laughter, and sobbing will endear Lenny to listeners, and the slow-burn romance between Lenny and Miles is equal parts heartbreaking and heartwarming as they navigate loss and love again together.
