Seatmate

Duration of Listening: Five hours and ten minutes

Accompany us on this charming road trip romantic comedy, written particularly for audio, by Audie Award finalist Cara Bastone!

I have five hours and ten minutes to get from Boston to New York City before this once-in-a-lifetime career chance passes me by. The only way I can go? The last seat on a cheap bus, second to last. The restroom is across from it. dressing in what you wore last night (don't ask). If I make it in time, it'll all be worthwhile.

Just when my worries are about to get the better of me, there he comes, taking a seat next me. lofty. Grinning amiably. His dark hair has a dash of bright azure. The ideal diversion. It turns out he's traveling to get back in touch with an old love. the person who escaped. If the traffic continues, we can both there on time—barely.

We are kept from clockwatching by playing road trip games, ignoring his mother's calls, and having easy conversation—that is, until the bus breaks down. And when we negotiate a ride in a thirty-year-old automobile, my seatmate becomes my copilot. and got into every traffic jam. And the diversions—oh, Lord. And someway, while riding a Citi Bike and toting a box of kittens, I wind myself barreling across town. Sure, don't ask.

Every step of the way, he is my hero, and I think I'm falling for him. What occurs, however, when we get to our destination? Is my seat partner really my soul mate?
