Kiss My Putt

I went into *Kiss My Putt* expecting another saccharine sports redemption arc, but Sivec delivered a deliciously messy, laugh-out-loud charmer that kept me hooked. Megan Walker is the rare protagonist who’s flawed without being whiny—her golf meltdown reads like a cringe-inducing meme come to life, yet her determination to rebuild her life feels earned, not forced. The romance subplot sneaks up on you; it’s more about mutual respect and shared frustration than grand gestures, which I appreciated. That said, the book’s middle section drags slightly as Megan’s post-career pivot meanders, and the golf terminology occasionally trips up the pacing. As for the narration, Navarro’s vocal work is stellar, but Paige’s performance occasionally veers into cartoonish gruffness, which clashes with the story’s quieter moments. Still, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise vibrant listen. By the final hole, I was fully invested in Megan’s messy journey—just don’t expect a tidy wrap-up. This one’s all about the detours.
