À propos de cet audio
Personal trainer Rebecca McCall is furious when her coworker is sidelined and she's forced to teach the “Be Your Best Bride” class. As if being a size two for your wedding photos is all for which exercise is good. Could the whole thing get more vain and sexist?
The class is full of preening, giggling bridezillas, but one woman stands out: the one who confesses she's only there because her fiancée signed her up. Who does that to someone about whom they care? And why can't Rebecca take her eyes off her?
Spencer Thompson is a second-guesser. After making the worst mistake of her life, she's happy to abdicate responsibility and let other people make her decisions for her. She's always felt a little bit too soft, a little bit too curvy in all the wrong places. Her fiancée apparently agrees because she signed Spencer up for a class at the gym.
Terrified by the online profile of the instructor, the epitome of zero body fat, Spencer is relieved to find someone new, and realistic-looking, leading the class. Except the instructor seems to hate her, and Spencer has no idea why.
When a perfectly innocent post-workout smoothie leads to an earth-shattering kiss, Rebecca wonders if she's been wrong all along, and Spencer is challenged to make another decision that could change her life forever.

A Treat of Normalcy
For the first few chapters I had wondered why this book was on the top picks list for LGBTQ* romance stories. It's language was frequently repetitive (you can only use "strong" as a descriptor so many times), the voice acting frequently felt stilted, and the slow-burn tactics a lot of the early story had felt flat. Most of the story was relatively drama-free. There was no big plot twist that Chelsea was horribly abusive, and there was no dramatic wedding "I object" that I was anticipating for a lot of it. But I continued to feel compelled to keep listening, and I slowly realized why.
This book, this story, is normal. It's basic. It's mundane. It's normalcy is wear it shines. A painful number of members of the LGBTQ* community struggle to just live in the world and feel normal, have a normal job, have friends who don't view their sexuality or gender as an integral part of who they are, be able to fall in love with a girl from the gym like it was any other relationship. So many LGBTQ* people I know (including myself sometimes) feel like they're never going to be able to have a normal relationship, and have it be viewed without question by those in their lives (the adultery in this story aside). But Beers created a story where Spencer and Rebecca, two really normal women, their falling in love was normal, their queerness wasn't a plotpoint. The most it was brought up was the odd comment like "so she plays for your team" and then the dialogue continuing on like it was no big deal. It shouldn't be a big deal, at all, but we live in a world where it just feels like it is, and The Shape of You takes you out of that. It places you in a world, in the shoes of Spencer and Rebecca, where queerness is normal, and their queer love is normal. And that is a beautiful thing.

My first audiobook...
This was my first audiobook and I can't say I was disappointed. The story was cute and easy to follow. Not much of a slow burn but it still kept me engaged. The narration was pretty good too. A couple of the voices were a bit annoying but overall Lori did a great job differentiating between the voices.
