A heartwarming, cozy YA romance, perfect for fans of You've Got Mail, Jenny Han, Beth Reekles, and Heartstopper, from the highly-acclaimed author of Lover Birds.

Jude's smile is magnificent. Their sharp edges melted away into a rare and beautiful joy. The flash illuminates them as their photo is taken, and for just a second, they glow. It feels like lightning has struck.

When Jude and Aiden are paired up together for an internship at a local radio station, things are awkward. Jude is quiet, withdrawn, has one friend, and is suspicious of everyone. Aiden is charming, outgoing, and popular, with a seemingly easy confidence and golden retriever energy.

But after they discover a shared love of podcast dramas, Jude and Aiden realise that they have more in common than they first realised - especially after Aiden reveals that he is a huge fan of Jude's own podcast, The Night Merchant .

With a wonderful and original meet-cute premise, an adorable couple with a grumpy x sunshine dynamic and gorgeous chemistry, and themes of forced proximity, found family, and mistaken identity, Listen Closely is an irresistible, heartwarming, swoon-worthy romance and a beautiful coming-of-age story - perfect for fans of You've Got Mail , Heartstopper , and Rainbow Rowell.

Leanne Egan grew up in Liverpool before moving to London to pursue their MA in Publishing Studies. Shortly after graduating, the world fell apart, so mostly they've just been getting a lot of writing done. In addition to their debut novel Lover Birds, Leanne is the writer and producer of the scripted fiction podcast Tell No Tales, and when not working on one of their various projects, they’re probably doing something writing-adjacent, like inventing increasingly absurd characters for their friends’ Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

A heartwarming, cozy YA romance, perfect for fans of You've Got Mail, Jenny Han, Beth Reekles, and Heartstopper, from the highly-acclaimed author of Lover Birds. Jude's smile is magnificent.
