Goodreads synopsis:
Benny Abbott and Joy Moore host one of the most beloved podcasts in the world. Each week, they delight listeners with a different “against all odds” survival story, gleefully finding the weird, life-affirming humor in near-death experiences. Since their first episode on Joy’s experience with severe narcolepsy, they’ve been the best friends everyone wants to befriend—and thanks to the meticulous management of Joy’s husband, Xander, they’ve built a lucrative empire.
The problem is, their next survival story may be their own. When Benny arrives at Joy and Xander’s one morning to record, he finds shattered glass and an empty house. The one clue shedding light on the couple’s disappearance is the incomplete, previously unseen first draft of Joy’s memoir. Benny will stop at nothing to find them, even as the police zero in on him as their prime suspect.
Millions of devoted listeners think they know the “real” Benny and Joy. But as the hours tick by, and the odds seem increasingly stacked against Joy and Xander being found alive, not even the most devoted fans could guess the terrible secrets their favorite famous BFFs have hidden from the world—and from each other.

This story might bore you to tears. I think I am too old for this book. I couldn’t relate to any of the characters. I alternated reading and listening on audible. It was incredibly long winded. Overrated in my opinion!

I liked this book – probably my favorite book of the month. And I love the cover. We were heavy on “love stories” this month – didn’t really expect that, and NOT my favorite, but it made for light summer reading. This one also has a good mystery with it, which made it more interesting than the others. Oooo, we don’t agree on this one…
