This was my first book by Hannah Brown but it won’t be my last. It was the perfect vacation read/ listen. I enjoyed the pacing throughout the book and the little glimpses into the past with a few twist from the typical romance plot lines.

I (Tiff) was lucky enough to get an ARC of the audiobook for The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain by Hannah Brown
This one follows Sybil, who heads to Hawaii on what would’ve been her honeymoon—a year after her engagement to Jamie fell apart. But plot twist: not one, but two of her ex-fiancés are also staying at the same resort
Through flashbacks, we get to know Sybil better—and start to see why none of her relationships ever made it to “I do.” It’s a light, summery romance with some unexpected emotional depth and heavier themes, so definitely check content warnings before diving in.
I enjoyed the listen—it was fun and had its moments—but I found myself wanting a bit more plot depth for it to really stand out. That said, it’s a great pick if you’re looking for an easy beach or vacation read this summer

Very cute and perfect beachy summertime read. Not quite as much introspection as I had anticipated, but a great title all the same. Having Sybil accept herself was huge and that enabled her to accept others - maybe build trust. It was a fun read and I look forward to more by Brown!

This book was a cute summer read. I go into books blind, so I was a little confused about what kind of read this was. If it was a romance read or more a lit fic about the women loving herself. I enjoyed this read and it really brough some good representation that isn't normally seen (anxiety, panic attacks, PCOS, and miscarriages). I really enjoyed getting to know the FMC and what makes her tick. The book had a lot of flashbacks and at times it confused me because I couldn't tell that it was until halfway through a flashback. All in all, I very much enjoyed this read and all the representation it depicted.

The Narrator, Cherami Leigh did a good job. She was able to bring the FMC to fruition. She brought the emotion through to the readers.

Thank you NetGalley for this ALC in exchange for my honest review.

First off, I couldn’t get into the narrator of this book, her voice is quite high pitched and I found it quite distracting. Generally the book was pretty meh and felt like it had been done before.

5⭐️ 1🌶️ 5🎧 This story hit me right in feels! It was hard for me to get into in the beginning because I did not like Sybil, but that quickly changed as we got further into the story and learned why she acted the way she did. It’s been a while since a book has made me cry actual tears and this one got me good!

The miscommunication trope is my least favorite, but I really feel like this is the best written one I’ve read. You really feel the growth behind what happened and why, and I really resonated with a lot of how Sybil felt and acted, especially when it comes to PCOS!

This was my first time listening to Cherami Leigh and she did a great job bringing the story to life.

Let me start by saying I have not read the previous book in this series, I didn't know it was a romance series of interconnected novels.
It didn't mess with my reading experience whatsoever, as you get deduct from my rating.

Had I known it was written by a celeb', I probably would not have read that book. That would have been a mistake. A big mistake. This book goes straight in the top 2 of the best romance novels I read this year. It was THAT good.

I smiled, laughed, gasped, and got teary eyed.
The writing style of the author is great and I loved the book structure. It was very clever and had me hooked.

I don't want to tell you too much about the story...
I never want to spoil anything when talking about a book and that's why I think you should just read it. That's it. Just trust me.
If you want a good love story, a story that will catch you in the feels and keep you hanging onto every words, this is for you.
If you love layered characters that have had rich lives (and the bagage or emotional wounding that goes with it), this is for you.

I could go on but, I know this is going to be a hit. It deserves it.

The narrator was amazing and I loved listening to her tell me the story of Syvil Rain.
Now, I'll go and read the other book in the series.


Tropes & themes: second chances, healing from love, opposite attract, healing oneself, growing and finding oneself, friendship.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the audiobook ARC!

I thought this was a charming story of loves lost and the hope for love to come. Perfect for a day at the beach or by the pool

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was so excited to preview Hannah Brown’s new book, I dove right in without realizing it was Mistakes We Never Made #2! In this one we get all of the elusive Sybil Rain’s backstory and past loves, while she’s on a work/vacation trip to Hawaii. Here she runs into her ex-fiancé, Jamie, ya know, from the wedding that wasn’t in the first book(!!). Was it meant to be or have they both moved on?

I enjoyed the continuation of their story in The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain. Finding it heartwarming with great beach and summer vibes.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publishing team for this ALC!

Thank you to NetGalley and Hachette Audio for this ARC to review. I was really rooting for the FMC to end up with Sebastian in the end. I didn’t really have any kind of connection to any of the characters except for him. I did like the inclusion of talks of miscarriage and child loss. That hits home for a lot of people (men included) and I feel like it isn’t talked about enough in literature. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I didn’t listen to the audiobook. Overall this was a cute story.

I went into this book assuming it would be a typical “fake dating on vacation” trope, but I was way off base. This was the first book I had read by Hannah Brown and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. Every time I thought the FMC, Sybil, or the 2 MMCs, Jamie & Sebastian, were about to be predictable, I was proven wrong. This book kept me guessing about everything from the storyline, to their feelings (or lack thereof), to character interactions, and even the banter. This is not your highly predictable summer/beachy romance novel. I was sent the audiobook ARC thanks to NetGalley and the narrator, Cherami Leigh, was perfect! She perfectly captured Sybil’s reactions and conveyed her emotions in every situation. I look forward to reading Hannah Brown’s other novel, Mistakes We Never Made.

***SPOILERS***

BEAUTIFUL this was such a fun, unique romance! I've never read anything like this and I would 100% recommend. SUCH an interesting perspective on fertility issues and the mental toll it takes on people who suffer from them, as well as on their relationships. I loved the setting and the staff was such a fun cast of support characters. This is exactly the type of beach read I needed this summer!

I have been a fan of Hannah Brown since she was on the Bachelor, so it’s been really fun to read her romance books. I liked Mistakes We Never Make, but The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain is now my favourite book of hers. This book follows Sybil, who was Emma’s best friend in the first book. Sybil has had 3 failed engagements and is ready to move forward, but ends up running into not one but two exes while on vacation in Hawaii. This story was so cute and had the perfect summer vibes. You would definitely enjoy this book if you enjoy romantic comedies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Thank you to Hannah Brown, Hachette Audio and NetGalley for providing this ALC in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a fun second chance romance! I loved the twist on this second chance romcom and the dual timelines. It made for a very fun listen! The narrator was especially great, I definitely LOL-ed!

This was another perfect summer read! Reminded me of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Runaway Bride.

Though this is book two in a series of standalones, you don't need to read the first one to enjoy this. (I haven't read book one yet, but plan to!)

Better than the first book.
I was really hoping this book would end with Sybil being committed to herself.
It didn’t end there, and the ending just felt rushed.
There were a lot of timelines to follow and it was tough when we were bouncing all over the place with different people “then” and “now”. The ex showing up was too out of the blue, needed at least a hint of them earlier in the book. Oddly pieced together, but a good premise.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to and review this ALC

100% beach read.
I did find myself giggling during some parts of the story.
The chaos of Sybil. It was funny.
Sybil is using vacation vouchers she was supposed to use with her ex-fiancé, Jamie.
She runs into someone from her past, which makes her getaway turn into an emotional ride.
We end up with a second chance romance, fake dating, witty/funny moments, and my least favorite trope - miscommunication.
The characters are well developed. Not relatable characters, but developed.
I did enjoy Sybil being authentic.
The plot was fairly well structured and paced well.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this ARC!
Happy Reading!

Okay, get ready for a whirlwind of romance, humor, and maybe just a touch of chaos, because we're diving headfirst into "The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain" by the one and only Hannah Brown!

Runaway Bride, Ex-Fiancé Mayhem, and a Whole Lotta Heart!

You all know I've been obsessed with Hannah Brown since her Bachelorette days. She's unapologetically herself, a total queen, and now? She's writing books that are just as amazing!

If you're looking for a story that's romantic, laugh-out-loud funny, and celebrates the power of female friendships, then buckle up, because Sybil Rain is about to take you on a wild ride.

Check this out :

A tropical paradise, a free vacation, and... two of your ex-fiancés? Yeah, Sybil's life is a little complicated. She's supposed to be having a relaxing getaway at Starling Ranch Inn, but her plans go sideways when her ex, Jamie, shows up with his "colleague." To save face, Sybil blurts out that she's there with her boyfriend, and things only get crazier when another ex, the charming photographer Seb, decides to play along.

From snorkeling disasters to stunning sunsets, Sybil's juggling two exes, trying to keep her dignity intact, and maybe, just maybe, figuring out why she's a bit of a runaway bride. And let's not forget Liam, the first fiancé, the one she never talks about...

Is Sybil Rain ready to face her past, heal from her broken engagements, and finally find her fourth and final shot at love?

This book is a hilarious, heartwarming, and utterly addictive journey of self-discovery, second chances, and the importance of good girlfriends. If you love a rom-com with a dash of drama and a whole lot of heart, you NEED this book in your life.

The Four Engagement Ring’s of Sybil Rain ⭐️⭐️⭐️(3.5/5)
Trope: Second chance romance
On the anniversary of Sybil’s third failed engagement (yes, you read that right, third) her friends encourage her to use the honeymoon voucher that’s about to expire. Of course when she arrives she doesn’t expect to see Jamie - her ex - there with a gorgeous woman. Naturally, Sybil does what any rom-com heroine would do: she lies about having a boyfriend. (Release date June 24, 2025)

I was a big Hannah Brown fan during her peak on the Bachelor franchise and keep meaning to read her books, but wasn’t sure what to expect. Overall; this was a delightful cozy read set at a resort in Hawaii. Sybil is a walking disaster when it comes to her love life and while I couldn’t relate to her spontaneous character, the descriptions and choices she made felt true to character and easy for a reader to connect with. I loved that she ended up at the resort with two of her ex fiancés and having to navigate through her feelings. It felt like being along for the ride of that one friend who always has the wildest dating stories.

There are some heavy topics layered in this book. They added appropriate depth without being just for shock value. They were handled in a serious way with a therapy callout as well.

The constant rehashing of Sybil's exes got a bit old since it felt repetitive most of the time without new information to add to the story. However, the inset chapters of those love stories were great for perspective and well timed. I was also frustrated by the big conflict. Seems like if you’re getting married your partner should be well informed of the biggest struggles you’re facing. I know that was the point (miscommunication) but I hated that Sybil wasn’t forth coming about that specifically.

The audiobook was narrated by Cherami Leigh who did a great job bringing Sybil, Seb, and Jamie to life. The cadence was well done and her inflections were present without being obnoxious.

Thank you to @netgalley, @hachetteaudio, and @readforeverpub for the opportunity to read and review this book!

This book follows Sybil as she goes on what was supposed to be her honeymoon trip alone. Heartbroken, she runs into her ex and pretends she is there with a new boyfriend. Characters were okay but Sybil tries a bit too hard for me. Good narrator.

I devoured this story! I was immediately hooked by Sibyl's chaotic charm and deeply relatable outlook on love, life, and all the messy bits in between. Her internal monologues were equal parts hilarious and heartfelt. It added depth making her feel like someone I could easily be friends with in real life. The takeaway; the story was easy to fall into and hard to put down.

The audiobook narration by Cherami Leigh was perfection. She brought Sibyl's story to life in a way that made the whole thing feel like one long (and very enjoyable) Facetime call with an old friend catching me up on all of the drama. her narration added a warm layer to the experience, and i genuinely didn't want it to end.

This was the perfect blend of humor, heart, and just enough chaos to keep things fun. A fantastic read (or listen) for anyone who loves character-driven contemporary fiction with a big heart.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5/5) | 🔥🔥 (2 Spicy)
Pub Date: 06/24/25 🚨

The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain is a charming, heartfelt summer read that blends romance, self-discovery, and a dash of chaos in the best way. The story kicks off with Sybil, a woman who famously left her fiancé at the altar, deciding to use the nonrefundable honeymoon credits in Hawaii—solo. What was supposed to be a peaceful getaway turns into something else entirely when she finds all three of her former engagement rings in her suitcase… and then runs into two of her ex-fiancés at the resort.

The story does a great job balancing second-chance romance with personal growth. I appreciated how Sybil’s journey wasn’t just about choosing a man, but about choosing herself. While the romantic tension is fun (and lightly spicy—I'd rate it a 2 out of 5 on the heat scale), the real heart of the book is in her figuring out what she truly wants out of life.

One of the highlights for me was the setting. The descriptions of Hawaii felt more vivid and immersive than any book I’ve read in a while—it really transported me. I had no idea this was part of a series until I finished, but it reads perfectly well as a standalone.

And a fun surprise—I didn’t realize the author is Hannah Brown from The Bachelor! Knowing that definitely added a layer of curiosity and charm.

All in all, this is a sweet, light read perfect for a beach day or vacation. If you enjoy second-chance romance with a strong, self-reflective main character and a stunning tropical backdrop, this one's worth picking up.
