About this listen

Finding true love is only a matter of time in this heartfelt and hilarious romantic comedy, starring Zoë Chao (The Afterparty), Noah Reid (Schitt’s Creek), and a full cast!

Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights.

But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled. Problem is, the phone can only call one number: her work nemesis, gym teacher Mikey Shannon.

Now future June must help Mikey befriend present-day June to keep her from disappearing. But present-day June doesn't even want to be in the same room as Mikey, let alone become besties. And Mikey isn’t exactly...talkie. Yet he’s spending hours a day with future June on the phone, and even more time trying to befriend present-day June. Volunteering with June at school, check. Facing his fear of roller coasters to make June smile, check. Adopting a puppy and letting her name it. Check.

But what does succeeding in the present mean for future June, and for the serious feelings she and Mikey are starting to catch for one another? Stopping time travel is one thing—but can they stop themselves from falling in love?

Full list of narrators: Zoë Chao, Noah Reid, Josh Hurley, Beata Pozniak, Jim Seybert, Emily Lawrence, Tina Wolstencroft, Petrea Burchard, Joel Simler, Aaron Shedlock, Christian Barillas, Eric Yves Garcia, Alex Picard, Lorrie Grant, Andy Garcia-Ruse, Dominic Russo, Ian Hackney.

Editorial Review

* Plesses PLAY, again
Maybe This Time is a charming rom-com that has left me in awe of Cara Bastone’s talent in combining humour and romance with a dash of whimsy to give us a story that I fall in love with every single time. When a solar flare causes a high school English teacher, June, to fall through a wormhole, she lands 85 years in the future with no idea how to get home. When her cell phone picks up a signal, she is able to call back to the present, only to find out that her arch-nemesis, gym teacher Mikey Shannon, is on the other line. As future June and Mikey work together to prevent present June from falling into the wormhole, their friendship and chemistry becomes more and more palpable, and both begin to wonder what succeeding in the present will mean for their future. Zoë Chao and Noah Reid’s performances were perfection, and were only further enhanced by the full cast, leaving me so captivated that I pressed play again once the listen was over. —Patty R., Audible Editor

Fun, unique, light story

I listen to a lot of audiobooks and this one was definitely different! The story is sweet, but also unique, and definitely lighthearted. The performances were great!

Great voice acting and loveable characters.

Somehow Bastone manages to write the mundane and surreal in wonderous harmony, making for a short but beautifully sweet romance.

Fabulous story!

My favourite story so far! I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the production. I loved the buildup of the love story, the struggles they went through, the self-discovery, and the ending. I also prefer stories like this that are “chaste”… not a bunch of sex scenes thrown in. I guess I’m just an old-fashioned romantic that way. Please, please continue writing stories like these and producing these kinds of productions. They make my heart happy! :)
