Mary

Repetitive

Revisado: 04-15-24

This book had potential. What could have been an interesting hook - a female sports agent - was left behind the author's repetitive narrative about the physical attributes of the main characters. We get it, she's cute and adorable and he's an intelligent hunk of a guy, but repeating this more than once in each and every chapter clouded what could have been an interesting and more in depth plot.

Predictable

Revisado: 11-07-23

Some of this was predictable and repetitive . The story is loosely based on the movie “Planes, Trains & Automobiles”. Cute and clever dialogue kept me interested.

Engaging story and characters

Revisado: 04-05-23

Easy and entertaining listen with a good narrator. The storyline had just enough depth and a few twists to stay interesting. The numerous explicit sex scenes really detracted from the story and I skipped through them. And, of course, there was the always present minor LGBTQ character.

Disappointing

Revisado: 06-30-20

I’ve loved every book written by Elin Hildebrand. This one just missed the mark. The reason the two main characters can’t be together and have to resort to the “same time next year” is flimsy at best. Why Jake married Ursula is still a mystery to me. I did take exception to the Authors political bias and the Supreme Court chapters as they were completely lifted from the Kavanaugh hearings.

Rather weak

Revisado: 08-01-17

Would you try another book from Mary Alice Monroe and/or Mary Alice Monroe?

Yes, because her other books are much better written than this one.

What do you think your next listen will be?

"Dead Certain" by Adam Mitzer

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Mary Alice Monroe?

I don't recall the names of narrators, but I'm not in love with Mary Alice Monroe as a narrator. There was very little inflation when she changed characters.

Could you see Beach House for Rent being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Quite possibly. I don't pay much attention to Actresses so I wouldn't have a clue!

Any additional comments?

I like all of her books, this one just didn't hit the mark for me. I didn't especially like the author as a narrator.

Missed the Mark

Revisado: 08-21-16

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It was too repetitive which eventually became tedious.

What could Jane Green have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I liked the story but I didn't like hearing about Emma's thoughts about Dominic because they were always the same. She loves him, he loves her. I get it.

Which character – as performed by Jane Green – was your favorite?

They were all well done. I did get a kick out of Emma's Mom.

Did Falling inspire you to do anything?

I liked her message and felt it was presented rather well.
