An opposites attract holiday romance that’s low on drama, complete with relatable characters, sparks (and a bit of spice), and an absolutely adorable dog? How could you possibly go wrong! 

 

Evelyn Crawford is the (unexpectedly) newly appointed CEO of her family’s pet supply empire, and (also unexpectedly) newly single. She’s overworked and overwhelmed, and if it’s not one thing it’s another. Alyssa Fox runs a dog rescue, but she’s sick of people adopting the cuties as holiday presents only to return them after the new year. She’s concocted a plan and it’s going flawlessly—except for one small detail. 

 

When Bug the cocker spaniel shows up in Evelyn’s office and Alyssa comes in search of him there’s an instant spark between the women. Bug seems to find his way to Evelyn’s office every day, and the two women strike up a friendship with an undercurrent of more. I loved seeing their relationship develop, with each bringing something that the other was missing, and Bug was just so adorable. 

 

Lillia Green does a really nice job with the audiobook narration, and The Wisdom of Bug was enjoyable all around.
