Two frenemies find a surprising second chance in this timeslip rom-com, starring Mae Whitman (Parenthood), Colin Woodell (The Flight Attendant), and a full cast.

Mona and Duncan used to be best friends. Now they can’t stand each other. Too bad that’s not a good enough excuse to miss their two families’ annual trip to the cabin. But things get really complicated when they accidentally drive through a wormhole together on the way. Look what playing nice and carpooling gets you.

Now they’re stranded indoors by an epic storm and stuck in an alternate timeline where things are just slightly ... off. Duncan and his dad aren’t speaking for reasons no one knows, Mona’s mom doesn’t like her hair or her career choices, and their siblings are meddlesome as ever.

Oh, yeah, and apparently they're going through a divorce. Which means that in this universe they are married. To each other.

All they can really do is play along until they figure out how to get back to the real timeline. How hard can it be—they already hate each other, don’t they? But figuring out how exactly Mona and Duncan managed to fall epically in love with one another—and then break each other’s hearts—is easier said than done. Navigating all these big feelings is leading to new ones, but are they destined to hurt each other in any universe? And what happens to this new relationship when they’re back to their old lives?

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

After reading mixed reviews, I was hesitant, but since Cara Bastone is my favorite author, I gave Better Luck Next Time a try. I didn’t find it as bad as others suggested—the concept was appealing. However, the story felt slow to build and took a while to truly reach the point, which might explain the disappointment.

Not that bad

With the first 3 audible originals....Cara Bastone really became one of my favorite authors and then I jinxed it.

I have been eagerly waiting for your nxt release only to be disappointed.
The stories revolving around worm hole and inter dimension characters need some work. I am disappointed with this latest one.

Cara....The premise needs improvement

Loved it.
Short and beautifully written. Great book to get you out of that reading block. Narration is to notch. The voice behind character adds and edge to the story, and the background noises are cherry on top. It gives a feel as if I'm in the sence while listening to it.

A unique concept, good charector building.
