Review

Some audiobooks waste no time in whisking listeners away, but few do it with as much wit and sparkling energy as Alice Clayton’s Wallbanger. If you’ve ever been drawn into a rom-com by its crackling chemistry and irrepressible humor, prepare yourself: this one doesn’t just flirt with laughter – it flings itself headlong into it.

The story grabs your attention from Caroline Reynolds’ first sleepless night in her new San Francisco apartment, when mysterious (and raucous!) nocturnal noises introduce her – far more intimately than she’d like – to neighbor Simon Doyle. What follows is a battle of wills across thin walls that evolves from exasperation to playful banter, simmering tension, and ultimately something deeper. As readers get front-row seats to every sharp retort, mortifying miscommunication, and accidental encounter – plus plenty of zingers about missing “O”s – they’ll find themselves rooting for Caroline not only to reclaim her peace but also her romantic spark.

Clayton’s prose is breezy yet insightful; her characters leap off the page with distinctive quirks and authentic emotions. It’s clear why both romance aficionados and those who simply want to laugh out loud have gravitated toward this novel since its release.

But what truly elevates the audiobook version is Julia Whelan’s outstanding narration. Known for bringing nuance and warmth to any story she touches, Whelan inhabits both Caroline’s sarcasm-laced frustration and Simon’s easy-going charm so vividly you might forget these are all voices from one performer. She masterfully navigates comedic timing – never missing a beat during fast-paced dialogue – and provides enough subtlety in emotional scenes that even routine misunderstandings feel fresh rather than formulaic. Some listeners may note that her pace runs brisk at times; however, most will find it adds zip befitting such snappy material.

Special mention must go to side characters – especially Clive the cat – who nearly steal every scene they’re in (no spoilers here!), further cementing Clayton’s knack for crafting unforgettable moments both big and small.

Predictability does peek around certain corners; after all, contemporary romances often tread familiar paths. Yet Wallbanger‘s effervescent tone keeps cliché at bay – it never takes itself too seriously while still offering satisfying depth beneath its comedic surface.

For anyone seeking pure entertainment – a blend of steamy slow-burn romance with giddy escapades – you’ll discover why over twenty thousand reviewers have given this title glowing marks.
