cute

Revisado: 12-03-24

It wasn't a story that I devoured and one or two sittings, I would actually just started up to do the dishes of the laundry and listen because it just makes the time go faster. cute, funny parts and clever writing.

I especially liked all the crazy robot drama. Looking forward to the next in the series.

easy listen

Revisado: 02-20-24

laugh out loud, funny and spots and just one of those easy reads that you can pick up and listen to for an hour or two to pass the time while doing chores, or puzzles. great book, likeable characters and fun story.

Jane Austen like

Revisado: 01-25-23

I, at first, disliked the main character and thought how can I like this book when I don't want her to succeed? There would be moments of being persuaded by her way of thinking where I'd soften to her, but then go right back to wanting her to fail miserably. I think the author did this on purpose, wanting to toy with the readers thinking and emotions as they unraveled the book.
There were laugh out loud moments and I'm sure references that weren't quite accurate to the times, but who cares? it was wildly entertaining, fun to pass the time and I would enjoy a spin off of these characters in a sequel. what a first book for quite a talented writer.

sweet, funny and surprising!

Revisado: 05-10-22

I usually read quite a few predictable stories and I thought this would be the same. It was and it wasn't. I didn't expect a few twists and turns and I liked that it didn't follow the typical ROM com storyline. I also loved Sadie'a family. i would love to be there and experience Christmas in that town. it just sounded like perfection.

funny and likeable characters

Revisado: 12-07-21

I like when stories are a little bit unexpected. This one fits the bill. It was cute and sweet and you could pick it up whenever and catch on again. Definitely not a page turner or one you can't put down, but a nice beach read, if you will.

almost like two very different stories

Revisado: 03-23-21

At first, this seems like a typical chiclit book, a little bit of mystery on who she's going to end up with. The narrator did a fantastic job with all the different voices especially the American one, Sloan. Then, almost 75% of the way thru, she introduces the very serious topic of domestic violence. Almost like she came across a story that moved her while she was writing this and decided to throw it in. It doesn't fit with the theme or the feel of the story thus far and really just seemed out of place. later there is an entire chapter devoted to stories about it that the character goes to see. I skipped the whole chapter bc I wanted to read something lite and fun. Just very odd to me. Overall, the character is likeable, a bit loose (I don't mean to shame, but I don't think you can't really argue if you are into one night stands). I wouldn't recommend to any friends but since I listened all the way to the end (minus skipping a few sections here and there ) I wouldn't request a refund.

a man called ove comes to mind ..

Revisado: 02-25-21

I almost stopped near the beginning because I thought it was going to be a lot of depressing 'I lost my wife' talk following a grumpy older man like my name is Ove came to mind and I really despised that book.
But I stuck it out, and though I skipped ahead in some places that really dragged on, it was an overall uplifting book. it does carry varying emotions and out of all the characters in the story I like to Poppy the most. it's a story about growth and moving on and seeing different perspectives. overall a solid 3.5/4 stars.

a cute, fun listen.

Revisado: 01-11-21

I like the silly situations that Lindsay Kelk tends to get her characters into. She's one of the first authors I usually Google when I'm looking for a new book. I actually really enjoyed the main character's, Ros' friends. I think I would be fun to do a spin-off of them. They are the group of friends that you always wish that you had- consistent, fun, supportive, always showing up exactly when needed.
the story itself was okay, nothing super exciting or page turning. Of course you root for the main character, and thankfully Lindsay's main characters are never totally stupid like other chic lit characters tend to be where you're frustrated by their actions.
I thought her having feelings for another man but still sleeping with another was a bit bothersome. I just don't understand how some people can be so promiscuous, but that's just me and my high moral ground. I think it's worth a listen if you're just cleaning out your closet, like I was, and want something to entertain you.
