Queen B’s Decree: An American in London was just such an enjoyable listen. Tuesday is in London to prove herself to a new CEO when she keeps running into a man that looks remarkably similar to her childhood favorite actor. The thing is…Ben is kind of a grump.
When Ben and Tuesday become fake engaged for Ben’s business, the progression is so comfortable. I loved watching them go from bickering strangers, to friends, to eventually two people pining for each other.
Despite the rom-com-y feel of this story, it had some surprising depths regarding grief. Tuesday opening up to Ben about the grief of missing her mother was so heartwarming and brought me to (almost) tears!
Overall, this was a cute and quick listen with a great narrator in Erin Mallon!
