Thank You for Listening is an uplifting novel by Julia Whelan, the author of My Oxford Year. It follows the story of Sewanee Chester, a former actress who has found a new path and success as an audiobook narrator, which also allows her to care for her ailing grandmother. Despite the satisfaction her current life brings, Sewanee has lost sight of her old dreams after a tragic accident.

Her journey takes an unexpected turn when she attends a book convention in Las Vegas and spends a whirlwind night with a charming stranger. Upon returning home, she learns that one of the world's most beloved romance novelists has requested her to narrate her last book alongside Brock McNight, the industry's most enigmatic and sought-after voice.

Sewanee, who has grown cynical of romance novels after her dreams were dashed, is hesitant to return to narrating them. However, her respect for the late author and the chance to help her grandmother more convinces her to take on the task. As she begins recording under her old romance pseudonym, Sewanee and Brock develop a genuine connection, veiled by the anonymity the job provides.

As she starts to dream again, Sewanee's life is upended by revelations and the harsh realities of life. Facing the risk of embracing long-buried desires, she stands to uncover a world of intimacy and acceptance she never thought possible—a world where she can finally listen to her heart.
