About this listen
“This book will be your shoulder to lean on, your friend to laugh with, the man you can’t help but fall in love with. I was completely swept away by Return to Sender. I read it in one joyous, tear-filled day.”—Cara Bastone, author of Ready or Not
Violet is usually an optimist. But between her father’s sudden death and the overnight responsibility of caring for her rebellious teenage sister, Phoebe, she’s barely holding it together. Then Phoebe discovers a love letter, never delivered and returned to the sisters’ address, begging its recipient to give him another chance. Phoebe seems excited for the first time since their dad died, and Violet will do anything to keep that smile on her face. Together, they set out to find the letter’s author, hoping to rectify a derailed happily-ever-after.
Despite Dex being rather abrasive (valid) and more than a little enigmatic (intriguing?), Phoebe talks him into a cross-country road trip to put the letter in the right hands. Violet is thrilled to see Phoebe thriving again. With every pit stop, they chip away at Dex’s moody exterior, and Violet realizes she might like what lies beneath . . . a lot. But what happens when they finally reach their destination—and Dex’s ex-girlfriend? Is what they’ve discovered on the road strong enough to make it back home?
Critic reviews
“This book will be your shoulder to lean on, your friend to laugh with, the man you canʼt help but fall in love with. I was completely swept away by Return to Sender. I read it in one joyous, tear-filled day. Savor it, devour it, come to this book with open arms and it will love you back. Stephanie Parente has done something truly special.”—Cara Bastone, author of Ready or Not
“Return to Sender is an unashamedly heartfelt and endlessly charming road-trip romance that expertly navigates the intricacies of grief and messy beauty of healing. I laughed. I cried. I blushed hard on a park bench but, most important, I fell hard and fast for our unlikely trio. Violet and Dex stole my heart, and Stephanie Parente has a firm forever fan in me.”—Catherine Walsh, author of Holiday Romance
“Some books are hard to talk about without just saying: Read this. Stephanie Parenteʼs Return to Sender is everything I love about romance—it’s tender, vulnerable, and hot, and it makes me see the world in the best possible light. A road trip always hits, but a road trip with one taciturn man who slowly opens up, one grieving woman who rearranges his brain just by wearing a red dress, and one teenager they’d both do anything to make smile? Stephanie Parenteʼs debut hits every emotional note in such a special, reaffirming way.”—Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Never Been Shipped
“Three things: The banter, the originality, and the miles of hope. Stephanie Parente’s Return to Sender illuminates the power of love and loss with a deft hand, sharp eye, and sharper tongue. I lost count of how many times I laughed and teared up on the same page as Parente celebrates the brutal live wire of loyalty between sisters. Like the perfect road trip, Return to Sender is a call to adventure filled with hilarious detours, heavy confessions, a budding romance, and all the promise of what lies ahead. It’s gorgeous.”—Beck Dorey-Stein, author of Spectacular Things
