Know Your Newlywed by Hillary Nussbaum, Heather Taylor & Elena Armas
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
Publishing Date: December 10, 2024
Synopsis:
Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf) and Mary Mouser (Cobra Kai) star in this swoon-worthy, full-cast rom-com! When two super-fans of a beloved dating gameshow hear that it’s being rebooted, they decide to team up and fake a marriage to compete in the hilarious new audiobook Know Your Newlywed, written by Heather Taylor and Hillary Nussbaum, and executive produced by New York Times bestselling author Elena Armas.
Cleo is a researcher with big dreams of a PhD in anthrozoology, and a guilty pleasure obsession with Know Your Newlywed, a decades-old gameshow where married couples compete by answering obscure questions about each other. She’s more invested in her career than in finding a relationship of her own, though—that is, until she comes across Javi’s dating app profile, which says he’s “looking for someone to win Know Your Newlywed with.”
Sparks fly, and when Cleo and Javi catch wind of a reboot of their beloved show, they apply on a whim, pretending to be newlyweds themselves. Before they know it, they’re cast as contestants, playing the part of smitten married couple better than they could’ve imagined. Their very real chemistry is impossible to ignore, and as the competition heats up, they quickly become America’s sweethearts. But how far can Cleo and Javi take their secret? And as they inch closer and closer to a life-changing cash prize, will the mounting pressure and their individual ambitions get in the way of their blossoming romance? Or is their connection strong enough to last once the cameras stop rolling?

Tour Schedule:
I honestly didn't think that my favourite audio book Daisy Jones and the Six would ever be knocked off it's top spot and I was wrong. Knowing your Newlywed did just that and I am not sad about it as it truly deserves the top spot.
I loved everything about this audiobook the characters, the production which was chef's kiss, the story and the fact that this was just a novella it was incredible. I savoured everything second of it and I laughed and cried.
I also loved how it showed how Social Media could make a difference in a positive way.
Please Please can we have some more of these.
For all the above reasons and many more but I am afraid we would be here for some time Know your Newlywed gets 5 massive stars
