I loved the story throughout the series with the exception of the extremely long internal dialogs that took place moreso in the first two books. A one-second or less kind of reaction got an unrealistic internal dialog that went on for a couple minutes or more.
Also, I often found it difficult to discern between spoken and thought words. This wouldn't be the case if I were reading, I'd hope.
The reading was performed very will. The last couple chapters are 🔥 🔥🔥 and left me wanting more. Can't wait for Ronan to be released!

I enjoyed this book very much. I listened to it in one day, not wanting to stop. The narration was excellent and the storyline not a worn out version of the same love story. The book is well-written, in my opinion.

The story is really quite good! However, the narration is pretty hard to get through. I kept going, because I was interested in the plot. I don't regret it, but I was really struggling, especially in the beginning.
The voice is fantastic when she's just reading as the narrator, but when she speaks as a man or child, it's slow and drawn out and adds long pauses before every name. So weird. And the Australian accent... Whew. Try not to think about it.
This is definitely a book that should've been read by more than one person.

Just what I needed to help me merge from fall to winter... A sweet set of feel-good stories that are not only well-written, but very well performed. Glad I happened across this little nugget of happiness!

This was a great story, although a bit sad for my nature. I will advise you, though, that the story goes back and forth to past and present. The author gives dates, so do pay attention to those. I really didn't at first and got a bit confused since without paper pages to turn back, it was harder to clarify.
Overall, a deliciously heart-wrenching and lovely story.

This is a great little, feel-good book that I absolutely loved listening to! The performance by both narrators couldn't have been better. Very well written. Not too deep, not too shallow. Absolutely perfect.

I really enjoy Louise Bay's writing style. This story definitely did not disappoint as a feel good love story.

I completely enjoyed the story line of this story, except for the redundant cluelessness of the main character. There were complete, illustrative details in nearly every part of the book, except for the sex scenes. I'm not saying I want x rated details, but come on. I'm guessing nearly anyone in their right mind would like a little bit more. There's room for a whole lot. I'm still on the fence about listening to the next volume.

I ignored the bad reviews so I could decide for myself. I'm glad I did. I loved the narration of this book. Imogen Church read the parts with amazing likeness to real emotion, unlike the flatness and monotone of many audio books.
Good story line. I enjoyed the listen.
