About This Audiobook

Imagine waking up next to your ex with wedding rings on your fingers, no memory of the night before, and a ticking clock—literally. Allison Winn Scotch’s *The Rewind* is a razor-sharp rom-com wrapped in the neon glow of Y2K, where nostalgia isn’t just a vibe but the entire premise. The story follows exes Liv and Nate as they scramble to piece together a night they can’t recall, all while grappling with the bigger question: Why did they get married in the first place? With humor as sharp as the glittery disco ball hanging over their heads, Scotch crafts a tale that’s equal parts escapism and emotional gut-punch, proving that sometimes the past resets in the most unexpected ways. The audiobook, narrated by Julia Whelan and MacLeod Andrews, delivers a dual-perspective performance that crackles with chemistry and wit, making it feel less like listening and more like eavesdropping on a conversation between two people who can’t decide if they’re soulmates or just really bad at locking doors. If you’ve ever wondered what happened to the person you almost became, this one’s for you.

Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I don’t usually fall for time-loop tropes, but *The Rewind* had me hooked from the first line—mostly because Julia Whelan and MacLeod Andrews make Liv and Nate feel like real people, not just plot devices. Whelan’s narration is effortlessly sultry and sharp, especially when Liv’s sarcasm cuts deeper than she intends, while Andrews nails Nate’s bewildered charm, balancing humor with a surprising tenderness. The production is clean and punchy, with just enough ambient ‘90s flair to make the Y2K setting pop without drowning out the dialogue. That said, the story’s second act drags a bit as the trio’s investigation stalls, and I wished Scotch had leaned harder into the rom-com chaos earlier. The ending is satisfying but leans a little too tidy—like a rom-com that knows it’s being cute and can’t help itself. Still, the chemistry between the narrators sells the ride, and if you’re craving a rom-com that’s smarter than your average beach read, this one’s a solid bet. Just don’t expect it to be as unforgettable as the night these two are trying to remember.
