Absolutely Terrible.

Revisado: 08-18-24

This was the second worst book I’ve ever downloaded. The author used certain phrases so much it was ridiculous. “His silhouette blurred” “I paused for a beat.” “The skies turned red.” And the story was all over the place with multiple plot points going nowhere. I really dislike that I can’t leave a book unfinished because I would have been done somewhere in the second hour and could have spent the other 11 listening to something that gave some semblance of entertainment value. Please do yourself a favor and don’t.

Terrible Performance and Terrible Story

Revisado: 05-17-24

This vocal performance was the worst I’ve ever heard. Mistakes were left in, there was little to no intonation. There were no pauses to indicate the story jumping to another time. And then the story had major continuity errors and the plot was so shallow and boring. Now I know we listen to these romances ready to suspend disbelief but there was absolutely no depth to these characters that made you feel like you knew them, nevertheless like them. I listen to audiobooks A LOT and this was hands down the worst one ever. Yikes.

Nick does not disappoint.

Revisado: 06-04-23

It’s been decades since I first encountered this story and I was reeled in by the promise of Nick Offerman reading this classic and boy was it worth it! He rally brought the story to life and gave me a feel for the mischief of little Tom Sawyer. I will likely listen to this again. Bravo!!!

Ridiculous…even for a rom-com.

Revisado: 03-17-22

Begonia is so unlikeable. Hayes is also unlikeable. Hope they manage to fall for each other is not even remotely believable. The attempts at slapstick comedy are tragic. “You can’t buy my love!”…but that’s literally all he does the whole book. All I listen to is rom-com and this is the worst one yet. And Teddy Hamilton speaking in a woman’s voice will forever garner a one star performance. Virginia Rose was good though.

I Couldn’t WAIT to Write This Review!!!

Revisado: 10-25-21

I absolutely LOVED this book. The main character was so lovable, in all her flaws. The supporting character were very well thought out, I believe. There were moments that had me just sitting in rapt attention hanging on the readers each word. At one point I even shed a tear!!! I’ve never cried listening to an audio book!!!

I just loved this book and felt this weird almost…grief when it was over. I miss Edie. What a fantastic listen. It’s long, and that may put some off, but I loved it. The writer didn’t leave anything dangling or rush any endings. Freaking. Fantastic. Going to try and find more from this without immediately.

The Most Infuriating Main Character EVER!!!!

Revisado: 10-21-21

***Spoiler Alert***

This woman gets mad at her love interest for not dropping a mission to arrest a child pornographer to coddle her because she got bad feedback on her novels manuscript!!! And she never comes back from it. Bellyaches about her heartbreak for the rest of the book. I kept waiting for redemption…but no. This was horrible. I was so angry I cursed her multiple times out loud. But still kept thinking the author would find a way to make her likable. It. Doesn’t. Happen.

But kudos to the reader. She really did do a great job.

Do yourself a favor and keep scrolling. Ugh.

Revisado: 09-11-21

This is horrible. I’m unsure what’s worse, the story or the performance. The narrator over pronounces certain words like the word “to” when it doesn’t make sense which drove me crazy. Her southern accent was insufferable.

*Maybe Spoiler* The overbearing family, specifically the father, is not funny or cute. It’s weird and incredibly archaic. Setting your daughter up with a man the day after she’s left at the altar?? Badgering her about finding a man the day after??? This is crazy. I’m literally writing this in the middle of the book because it DOESN’T get better. I have listened to/read hundreds of rom-coms and can honestly say it’s the worst one I’ve ever experienced. Wow. Just wow.

Performance? Outstanding. Story? Fair to middlin’.

Revisado: 08-21-21

I really enjoyed the vocal performance, to be clear. But as the story drew on, the main character became increasingly unlikeable. I hung on for the reveal in her divorce, but that was nothing. There were many promising plot points that were just given up on. I’m disappointed.

Very enjoyable listen

Revisado: 05-27-21

I really liked this. The side story of the sister with the best friend was unnecessary and distracting but it still gets five stars because the performances were SO well done and the main story was just so cute and fun to listen to. I would listen again to bold from this author and performers without hesitation. Loved it!!!

Ridiculous--even for Romance novels

Revisado: 04-29-21

Now don't get me wrong...I live for a cornyromance novel. They are an escape from a very busy and stressful life. I love them. But this is trash. *very small spoiler in this next part* You mean to tell ME that giving a kiss to a boy who had an allergic reaction to the peanut butter sandwich she had for lunch (among other things that are stupid too) made her destined to a life alone??? And the way the townspeople treat her??? It's beyond implausible. I was going to return and stop listening but I stuck with it for the lil "mystery" that was going on. The twist is dumb and totally foreseeable. Should have just gotten my credit back. The one VERY good thing about this book??? The man reads the man dialogue and the woman reads the woman's dialogue even when they are in the others chapters. I really enjoyed that. It sucks when they put on a deep or high voice to read dialogue from another gender. The performers were really on point and I enjoyed them. I wish more audio books would adopt this.
