Charlie Sunshine is the story of two best friends who are so oblivious to the fact they’re perfect for each other. I could leave it there, but it’s also so much more.
Charlie Sunshine is the nickname of one of the main characters because that’s the version of himself he shows the world. It’s the version he thinks they want. Misha is his best friend and new roommate. He’s solid, dependable, and very much an eternal bachelor, which is the opposite of Charlie.
It’s very obvious to everyone and a surprise to no one how the story ends, but that’s not the point. The point is the journey, and this one was heartfelt, imperfect, and has everything I want in a romance—excellent writing, wonderful character development, and personal growth.
Joel Leslie did a marvelous job with this audiobook. I cannot imagine anyone doing it better. He brought them to life in such a raw, powerful way that pulls you into the story and doesn’t let go. Every time I hear him narrate, it reminds me how much I enjoy his work and makes me want to hear more of it!
