Story
Life has become a farcical mess for icy British A-lister Elizabeth Thornton. America's most-hated villain stars in a top-rated TV medical drama that she hates. Now, she's been romantically linked to her perky, new co-star, Summer, due to the young woman's clumsiness. As a closeted actress, that's the last thing Elizabeth needs. If she could just get her dream movie role, life would be so much better. The only problem is that the eccentric French film-maker offering it insists on meeting her "girlfriend", Summer, first.

great writing, full characters, well written sex scenes, the only downside is the NZ accent is more Australian (but seeing as she's a side character we can let this slip)

Good base information if you think you have ADHD or have just been diagnosed. Gives a few checklists which help define characteristics and a long breakdown of medications available. As mentioned by others, although the narrator is appropriate for the book they are not the easiest to listen to. To get around this I listened in 1.5x speed and it worked pretty well.

Story
As a professional thief, Esme Bellerose's daylong job interview was going well: She'd come through most of it with only a black eye, bloody lip, broken wrist, a few cracked ribs, and talon marks from a ruby-throated dragon - but at least she wasn't missing any pieces. And if she could only survive until the five o'clock hour, she'd land the job that was every mystic thief's dream: employment at SPL Inc. But the head of SPL, Elric Ostergaard, has other plans, and he's put one additional task on Esme's job application, which must be completed before he'll hire her.

Another great Victoria Laurie book! As always, easy to listen to, with an interesting story that flows nicely. Characters are likeable and I can't wait to see what they get up to next. The narrator was so easy to listen to and really portrayed the characters well.

Another great book from Hank Green. Following on from the original book, it really developed all characters while sharing an important message. It rounded out the series nicely without feeling rushed or dragging on. All narrator choices were perfect and really added to the story without distracting from it.
