"Summer Fling" Luke's use of the "L" (Living Together) word has her happily abandoning plans to share a one-room walk-up with best friend Shari in exchange for cohabitation with the love of her life in his mom's ritzy Fifth Avenue pied-à-terre. Lizzie's landed a non-paying gig in her chosen field - vintage wedding gown rehab - and a paying one as a receptionist at Shari's boyfriend's father's posh law firm. So life is good...for the moment.

Stop with the accent
Reviewed: 05-31-24
This is a sequel. Would it have killed the narrator to listen to a bit of the first book? Why does the main male character sound like Pepe Le Pew? It’s distracting. Someone should have stopped her. It’s the French Revolution with the guillotine killing the accent, over and over.

Stunted emotionally
Reviewed: 03-16-24
Zara is beyond ridiculous, supposed to be an intelligent attorney apparently masquerading as an annoying 12-year-old drama queen. She needs competent, intense therapy, because She. Has. Issues. IRL I would try every single excuse possible, no matter how absurd, to flee from any social engagements including Zara. I haven’t a clue why Jay can stand to be in her presence for more 30 seconds. You know she’s the girl who, when her invite to game night gets around suddenly inspires friends to desperately need a quiet evening and skip game night. She isn’t simple, but she habitually acts like a dimwit. Definitely a high maintenance girlfriend. Jay should run away. Change his name. Relocate to another state or, better, country. Find a nice girl who doesn’t require so much care and feeding.

I’ve spent the last few years watching my dreams of a writing career and true love fade away, settling for a dead-end job and denying my feelings for my best friend—until I find a list of dating advice for single women to “find a husband” in the 1950s. I decide to experiment: Try out the 1950s advice on my 21st-century dating pool and write about the results. If love is timeless, some of the dating advice still holds value. Maybe my experiment will launch my writing career. Maybe I’ll get over my best friend and meet someone new.

I wanted to like this one. The plot summary was cute. However, midway through the book I was ready to smack the female protagonist. By the end I wanted to throttle her. She was so incredibly self-absorbed. I would never want to be friends with someone who is so focused on herself that she doesn’t even ask her friends about their lives for weeks. I could list the reasons I’d like to push her off a dock, but this review would be too long.

I very much liked the first two books. This one not so much. The ending was sudden. It seemed like Ms Roberts wasn’t finished writing yet, but the agent kept calling about the deadline, so she just slammed the entire climax into a few pages. It was disappointing.

Winnifred Gobaldi and Byron Visser are not best friends. Yes, they’ve known each other for years, but they’re not even friendly. Winnie considers them more like casual, distant acquaintances who find each other barely tolerable, especially when he's being condescending (which is all the time).

Reviewed: 01-30-23
I didn’t enjoy either narrator, the female narrator especially. Her delivery was choppy and clipped. She didn’t seem like she had experience with audiobooks and so she was being careful to over-enunciate. It was tooth-grindingly painful.

All is fair in love and auto maintenance.
Beau Winston is the nicest, most accommodating guy in the world. Usually.
Handsome as the devil and twice as charismatic, Beau lives a charmed life as everyone's favorite Winston Brother. But since his twin decided to leave town, and his other brother hired a stunning human-porcupine hybrid as a replacement mechanic for their auto shop, Beau Winston's charmed life has gone to hell in a handbasket.

Narrator does not do his usual best
Reviewed: 04-19-21
The main character is supposed to be an eternal optimist, always happy. I did not realize that meant he was also a dimwit until I listened to the book. Even in serious parts, he sounds like he is on the verge of giggles. Normally, the narrator does an excellent job. This time, though, not so much. I’m the person who laughs at a funeral, but I’m capable of keeping a straight face better than this.

With indifferent parents, Iona Sheehan grew up craving devotion and acceptance. From her maternal grandmother, she learned where to find both: a land of lush forests, dazzling lakes, and centuries-old legends. Ireland. County Mayo, to be exact. Where her ancestors’ blood and magic have flowed through generations - and where her destiny awaits. Iona arrives in Ireland with nothing but her Nan’s directions, an unfailingly optimistic attitude, and an innate talent with horses.

Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be. Vic doesn't tell anyone about her unusual ability, because she knows no one will believe her. She has trouble understanding it herself.

Reviewed: 06-12-13
Kate Mulgrew should narrate another book- as in a different book, not this one. I enjoyed Heart Shaped Box, and I thought Horns was a great read, but NOS4A2 was disappointing. I don't understand all the glowing reviews. I didn't think the novel was anything more than mediocre at best. I expected better, and I was let down. We all know Kate Mulgrew is a talented actress and her narration is top notch. I think it was wasted on what, to me, was not as good as a clearance rack paperback.
