Co-Wrecker by Meghan Quinn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What do ice cream and Sadie Montgomery have in common? They’re both ice cold, but one taste is never enough.

I wanted to be friends — I would have even settled for her seeing me as anything but a nerd — but there was no getting through. So just like any hard-headed, red-blooded man out there, I made up my mind.

I’d make my coworker fall for me.

I’d like to say it was simple, but like every other epic love story, all it took was one drunken night and a lot of naked courage to get the girl. For a moment, at least.

Love with a coworker is never simple, especially since Sadie’s trying to keep us on the low. Not to mention her persistent ex-boyfriend who won’t leave her alone. But I’ve never been good at giving up, and I don’t plan to start now.

The whole thing is a recipe for a rocky road, but I plan to eat the whole gallon, no matter how bad the brain freeze.

The Hero: Andrew – he is the youngest in his family and recently went through an “ordeal”, which is what his family calls it. He decided to get his life back on track and enrolled as a junior at Binghamton University in New York and is going to computer engineering school. His family doesn’t agree with his decision to go to school. He is renting a room in a six-room house with five women who are the starting lineup of the women’s basketball team. Though it was the only place he could find on short notice. He got a job at a place called Friendly’s to work through the summer until classes start in the fall.

The heroine: Sadie – she is a townie and has worked at Friendly’s for four years. She is not happy about having to always train the newbies in the fountain area. She doesn’t get tips when she is training, and trainees are the worst. She grew up in a small town with parents that she could not count on especially after her mother left the family. She has a small circle of very good friends but is scarred by her upbringing and doesn’t plan on ever having a family of her own.

The Story: Andrew is excited to have a job at Friendly’s though Sadie is less excited to be training him. Her week away from being a waitress means less tips, which really affects her bank account. Andrew sees that Sadie has a huge chip on her shoulder but keeps it cool and tries to be as nice as possible. Things go badly and they are not friends at the end of the day, especially after he falls into her bosom and says she has sturdy tits.

These two main characters each have issues of their own and they take a while to come out. The “ordeal” Andrew went through isn’t explained for a while. Sadie has her own issues with her past and she has an ex-boyfriend that still wants her, but they are toxic as a couple. I really liked the two main characters, especially Andrew. He was hilarious and genuine. Plus he had a cannon in his pants.

The one thing I didn’t like was all the secrets, though that is what the book was mainly about. Andrew wanted to really know Sadie, but she held her secrets close to her vest. She did tell him about her mother early on, which is the reason I really thought her being so quiet was silly since her mom being involved with drug dealers and being in and out of prison was a much worse secret than the ones she wouldn’t tell Andrew.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via Dual narration. It was narrated by Mia Madison and Tor Thom. Tor Thom is one of my favorite male narrators. He always does a terrific job and has a very deep voice which I really like. Mia Madison has a clear feminine voice which is youthful and nice. She sounds age appropriate and has the perfect tone for the character of Sadie.
