About This Audiobook

Romantic comedies thrive on chaos, and *Going Green* delivers it in spades—just with a side of eco-friendly absurdity. When Ellie Cooke’s PR firm suddenly gets acquired by Nolan Reece, a self-righteous sustainability guru who’s basically the human equivalent of a reusable tote bag, she’s forced to play along or risk unemployment. The premise is ridiculous (because, let’s be honest, no one *actually* enjoys composting), but Spalding leans into the humor with sharp workplace satire and a love interest who’s equal parts insufferable and oddly charming. The romance crackles with the kind of banter that feels like eavesdropping on two people who’ve had entirely too much coffee—equal parts infuriating and addictive. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a partner’s over-caffeinated idealism, you’ll find Nolan’s antics both cringe-worthy and oddly relatable. Narrator Billie Fulford-Brown is the secret weapon here, turning what could’ve been a one-note performance into a full-blown character study. She nails Ellie’s exhausted-but-sarcastic narration with a delivery that’s equal parts dry wit and exhausted resignation, while Nolan’s sanctimonious bluster is so over-the-top you’ll either groan or snort-laugh. The audiobook’s pacing is relentless, with Fulford-Brown’s energy keeping even the most far-fetched moments grounded in humor—because let’s face it, no one’s actually going to convert their life savings into solar panels after listening to this, but you *will* laugh along the way.

Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Billie Fulford-Brown isn’t just narrating *Going Green*—she’s performing it, and the result is a listening experience that’s as chaotic and entertaining as the story itself. Her portrayal of Ellie Cooke, a PR flack who’s suddenly thrust into Nolan Reece’s eco-utopia (or dystopia, depending on your tolerance for reusable cutlery), is pitch-perfect: exhausted, sarcastic, and just credible enough to make you root for her survival. Fulford-Brown’s timing is impeccable, especially during the rapid-fire banter between Ellie and Nolan, where her delivery walks the razor’s edge between exasperation and reluctant attraction. The supporting cast gets short shrift—there’s barely enough depth to the side characters to care about their fates—but Fulford-Brown’s energy carries the load. That said, the audiobook isn’t without flaws. The romance’s resolution feels rushed, as if Spalding realized he’d used up all his best jokes and needed to wrap things up in a hurry. And while Fulford-Brown’s performance is undeniably entertaining, her portrayal of Nolan’s ‘woke’ idealism occasionally teeters into caricature, making him less of a love interest and more of a walking PSA. Still, if you’re looking for a rom-com that’s more *The Office* than *Bridgerton*—messy, modern, and occasionally preachy but ultimately a blast—this audiobook is a solid pick. Just don’t expect subtlety.
