Hit Singles

by Octavia Bray, Sarah Shachat, Zach Valenti

From the creators of the hit audio drama Wolf 359 and with original music by Jeremy Warmsley comes a modern story about friendship, love, and chosen family starring Evangeline Young (Emergence), Nicholas Podany (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), Simone Policano (Blue Bloods), Julia Rehwald (Fear Street), Briggon Snow (Masters of Sex) and a full cast. A captivating listen perfect for fans of New Girl and High Fidelity.

When struggling DJ Faith Adler comes to couch surf with her best friend Tori in NYC, she finds herself drawn into the world of Tori's eclectic friend group. Right from her chaotic first night, Faith's new friends take her under their wing and help her navigate the ups and downs of trying to make it as an artist in the big city. There's Tori, the bubbly one; Ginah, the high-strung but loyal one; Matt, the flirtatious one; and David, the cynical one. Tori and Ginah's apartment becomes a sanctuary where lasting bonds are forged over late nights, drink-filled conversations, impromptu dance parties, and the occasional Sense and Sensibility marathon.

Falling in love definitely isn’t part of Faith's plan, but that all changes when she meets David, a former law student (and current bartender) who has recently come to the conclusion that romance is for suckers and sworn it off altogether. From the moment they meet at a New Year's in the Summer party, their will-they-or-won't-they chemistry is electric. As Faith and David grow closer over whiskey-soaked nights and heart-to-heart talks on the fire escape, their flirtation deepens into something more meaningful. Are they friends? Lovers? Romantic partners? Casual sex acquaintances? The answer is, simultaneously, all and none of the above. Let the overthinking commence!

With rich character development and an ensemble cast that feels like friends you've known forever, Hit Singles deftly balances comedy, romance, and poignant drama. It's a beautifully rendered celebration of the family we choose, the cities that choose us back, and the life-altering power of human connection.

There is nothing wrong with this audiobook, it just is not for me.

[Hannah Rose · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was fine - but most of these people are very selfish.

[Arielle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Man, no one does audio fiction like Gabriel, Sarah and Zach. As someone who doesn't really gravitate toward romance, this was surprisingly enjoyable, heartfelt and charming. And I was greatful that it was mostly about a group of friends trying to figure life out rather than cliche romances, within a fast moving complex plot. A little hard to distinguish the voice actors, but the characters created were engaging to listen to. And such an immersive soundscape/soundtrack. Absolutely devoured it. This is what audiobooks should be!

This book is so fun! I listened on Audible, and honestly I think that’s the way to enjoy it to its fullest. The writing, from all the authors, is so fun and sarcastic. The narrators deliver their lines superbly! I was hooked from the first 15 minutes, and couldn’t listen fast enough. It’s such a fun and relatable story of growing up, discovering yourself through friendships/relationships, and having fun!

An engaging plot and group of people. Being middle-aged, I kept asking myself, “how are these people employed and able to feed themselves.”

It’s difficult to empathize with beautiful, selfish, and confident people so Tori and the MC didn’t keep my attention easily.

However - this is the type of story that takes the medium of audiobooks to another level with the integration of music. I think this would have been a 2 star story without that element.

How I met Your Mother vibes!!!!!

This was soooooooo good! I felt so immersed in this story and so emotionally involved and damaged by a cute little romcom/sitcom type book. i
It was unreal how hard this hit! Audible Originals does it again!

[Tia Sinclair · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not my typical genre. I like to periodically try a variety of themes to expand my reading experience. I appreciate the writing, but the storyline wasn't my type of adventure.

Dnf. The gratuitous profanity was off-putting.

[Katie Kelley · Rating 4 out of 5]

A group of friends navigating love and life in the big apple.

[Mariana García · Rating 2 out of 5]

Buen formato, personajes insufribles

[Rémy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really cute and a quick read. I like that it doesn’t end up how you expect. The main character does not give herself away to forgo her dreams.

3.5 rounded up
