Description
Sometimes love is a lot closer to home than you think.
Charlie Burroughs can’t keep a man. All he wants is a good relationship like the ones he sees his friends having, but none of the men he picks ever work out. Despite him trying to be the perfect boyfriend, the men are either threatened by his looks or his epilepsy or a combination of the two. It’s lucky that he has his best friend, Misha, to turn to. The two of them are closer than peas in a pod and fiercely loyal to each other. He can’t imagine his life without Misha in it.
Misha Lebedinsky is the complete opposite of his best friend. Being the support system for his mum and twin sisters leaves Misha with neither the time nor the inclination for a relationship. Quick and frequent hookups are his favorite means of communication, and any other pesky emotional needs he has are met by Charlie, whom he’s devoted to. He lives a life of happy compartmentalization with no intention of ever changing.
All of this changes when the two best friends move in together. Being in close proximity means that they suddenly start to see each other in a very different light. But Charlie struggles when his drive to be the perfect partner clashes with the fact that he’s in love with a man who knows every little thing about him. And even if he can get past that, can a relationship ever work with a man who’d need a dictionary to tell him what love means?
From best-selling author Lily Morton comes a love story about a sunny librarian who has relationship written all over him and a cynical banker who doesn’t even have it in his blurb.

friends to lovers
Both Charlie and Misha suffered from head in the sand syndrome, refusing to see what was in front of them. It was so hard to see Charlie struggle to be the sunshiniest perfect boyfriend, convinced that it was the only way to keep one. I really empathized with his feelings of frustration and inadequacy from his chronic health condition. And Misha, bless his heart. His lack of relationship experience want he often lead with flippant when honesty and emotion were needed. They had a rocky road, but finally found their way. Joel Leslie is a Rockstar narrator and this book is no exception. I read the ebook previously and am so glad to experience the story in audio. Another outstanding performance by both author and narrator.

Friendship Shines in Sweet Best Friends Love Story
This sweet, steamy, and angst-free best friends-to-lovers romance between "relentlessly cheerful" librarian Charlie and his grumpy flatmate Misha is an easy and enjoyable listen.
The snarky banter and genuine caring and affection between the two as friends first really shines. Misha is wonderfully defensive of Charlie (the red knickers...) and once they've coupled up, they're refreshingly open with their emotions and talking things out.
The deepening of their relationship from longtime friends to boyfriends is deliciously steamy and without complication, and watching Misha fumble through dating for the first time is pretty adorable. Charlie's health (he has epilepsy) is presented respectfully and as an aspect of his life rather than a central focus of the story.
Narrator Joel Leslie delivers a solid performance here, with convincing British accents and female voices. The fairly subtle difference between Charlie's and Misha's voices was enough to differentiate.
This book totally works as a standalone. The cover is striking but I'm still not sure who it's supposed to be given the character descriptions (a slight pet peeve). I received this free review copy audio book by request and have left this honest review voluntarily.

Full Smiling Heart
I love most romance novels especially the ones without graphic sex, I love romance. In the L Morton books I have read the most important thing i really enjoy is the delightful banter and humor. I live in an age of CNN and MSNBC and Fox. But I most treasure my time with the friends I have made within Charlie Sunshine and LM’s other books.

Sweert Sunshine!
Charlie is such a doll, how could anyone not love him???
This was a sweet friends to lovers romance. Charlie and Misha have been friends forever, but both were pretty oblivious when it came to their feelings for each other. But once Charlie moves in with Misha, those long suppresed feelings finally start showing themselves.
I liked that there wasn't a lot of drama with these two. Yes, Charlie had a little bit of a freak out, but it was understandable, considering how he'd been treated in the past by boyfriends. Although how he thought Misha would act that way was a little silly of him. But hey, you're gonna feel how you're gonna feel!
Joel was Joel, another great job.
Can't wait for Felix and Max's story!

Absolutely stunning!
I loved Charlie and Misha so much! A beautiful best friends to lovers, in true Lily Morton’s style!
So much banter, droll humour, that had me snorting and laughing out loud, and so many emotions.
I loved how caring Misha is, not only with his life-long best friend Charlie, but towards his family, too. And I absolutely adore how Charlie, despite his condition with epilepsy, is such a bright and positive person, gaining himself the nickname Charlie Sunshine.
The book is funny, sweet and sexy, and really hard to put down, so you’ll want to start it when you can listen to it uninterrupted!

A lovely story
A lovely story featuring best friends to lovers. I loved Charlie's passion for his job with the library. He is so outspoken and isn't afraid to put anyone with a bad word against libraries in their place. The book club scene was especially fun. Misha has always been there for his best friend so when Charlie moves in with him, he starts seeing him in a whole new light. I adored the ways they have helped each other out over the years, and the love they have for each other's families. When they take the leap and start a relationship it's sweet and sexy. Of course Charlie has his doubts with his epilepsy and worries it may be too much for Misha to handle. The banter and sass was fun and I enjoyed all of the pop culture references sprinkled throughout the book. Joel Leslie did another remarkable job bringing the story and characters to life. I really like his accents and the differentiation between characters.

Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes
📖 Story comment: Good pace, likeable characters, nice flow.
I liked the way Charlie's character was written, I've had no experience with someone with epilepsy, but I like the way it was handled with no "magic fix".
🎧 Narrator comment: Joel Leslie doing what he does best, nailed the characters and their personalities and bought the story to life. Overall an enjoyable performance

Perfection!
The combination of Lily Morton’s words and Joel Leslie’s narration is perfection! Charlie and Misha are so good together. Their snarky banter had me smiling and laughing out loud! Yet, underneath it all is a truly beautiful friendship that evolves into the love of a lifetime. I also adored the secondary characters. I can honestly say there wasn’t one thing that I didn’t love about this audiobook. If you are looking for a funny, steamy, love story this is it.

Brillantly Performed!
I enjoyed this book. It's not my favorite from Morton, but it's got all of the terrific dynamics and fantastic witty & biting banter that makes her so well-loved. The forever oblivious ongoing state of these two friends grew a little long for me when I'd read it in the past. However, after recently listening to Joel Leslie's brilliant narration those small grumbles easily fell away and I simply became immersed in the story. Leslie's performance really breathes life into these characters and helped to evoke a connection that I was missing before. Loads of fun to listen to - highly recommend the audio!
