The Four Engagement Rings of Sybil Rain by Hannah Brown is a beautifully layered novel that follows Sybil Rain, a woman who has been engaged four times and is finally reckoning with what each relationship taught her about love, about identity, and about who she really is when the ring comes off. Sybil is in Hawaii for her honeymoon for her wedding that was heart breakingly canceled when her two ex fiancés coincidentally are at the resort! Sybil still in love with Jaime, tells him that she is there with her partner and she has a fake dating trope with Sebastian!

Through these men, Sybil’s journey becomes about more than romance. It’s about how she has changed, how she’s tried to fit into other people’s expectations, and how she slowly begins to reclaim her own voice.

Cherami Leigh’s narration adds a whole new dimension to this story. Her performance is pitch-perfect; she gives Sybil a voice that is smart, vulnerable, and filled with emotional nuance. Each fiancé is distinct in tone and rhythm, and Leigh shifts seamlessly between them. Her delivery deepens the humor, highlights the heartbreak, and makes Sybil feel like a living, breathing person you know. It’s one of those audiobook performances that doesn’t just tell the story it truly enriches it.

Hannah Brown writes with humor, warmth, and emotional clarity. The characters are flawed, full of life, and linger in your mind long after the final page. This is a love story, yes, but more than that, it’s a story about choosing yourself which makes it an unforgettable listening experience for anyone. I truly enjoyed it and I can’t wait to meet Hannah Brown at her book signing event in orlando this weekend and ask her all my juicy questions!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc and alc.

This was a super fun and sexy romance! Hannah Brown is back with another fantastic book! I loved reading Sybil's story and watching her grow and evolve as a character. Cherami Leigh also does a fantastic job bringing Sybil and the other characters to life. Overall, I can't recommend this book enough (loved it!) and I highly recommend you pick it up asap!

I request this book based on the fact my bestie loves the author! After listening to this book I am a fan also.

Sybil goes where her honeymoon should have taken place. And the man who would have been her husband, Jamie happens to be there also. Sybil has to take a look at herself and her past to try to understand how she has gotten to where she is. The deeper she looks the more she realizes that maybe things aren’t exactly how she has perceived them.

A great summer read that is cute but also highlights how important discovering your own self worth is. You have to love you before you can truly open up to someone else. Sybil’s journey takes you through many emotions. I laughed, experienced sadness, saw hope, and felt love.

I listened to this book. The narrator does a fantastic job. She really conveys the characters well.

Thank you NetGalley and Hachette Audio for the opportunity to listen to an advanced copy of this book.

I’ve been following Hannah since her time on The Bachelor, and I have always loved her. This book is now my favourite of hers, and it’s so cool to see her writing evolve and grow with each book! This story was so cute and quirky! I think if you enjoy Christina Lauren’s books, you’d enjoy this one! I really felt Hannah’s personality shine through her writing on this one, and the narrator of the audiobook also did an amazing job.
Thank you so much to Hachette Audio, Hannah Brown and NetGalley for providing an ALC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This was such a sweet read! Pretty low stakes, easy to read, and the characters were very likeable! I’m always a sucker for a second chance and this one was fabulous! The narrator for the audio was so amazing too.

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!
