Perfect

Absolutely blown away by how beautifully written and narrated this was. 10/10 will definitely be reading more from this author.

Kept my attention

Reviewed: 01-18-24

I actually really liked this book. The narrator was fantastic. The twist at the end was interesting and well written. It did drag on way too long though. Too many flashbacks and could have been a perfect book if it was a little more succinct in the delivery.

Awful narration but decent story

Reviewed: 12-13-23

Plot left a lot of holes. Zero character development. I couldn’t finish the audiobook due to the truly awful narration. Her male voice was laughable and her female voice was breathy, ditzy, and exaggerated every word. I switched to kindle and did finish but wasn’t overly impressed, I love Kenya so I will buy more books but please vet your narrators better.

Promising plot but awful execution

Reviewed: 07-04-23

I couldn't finish the book and I ALWAYS finish my books. And this was a fairly short read and I still couldn't get through it. It started off promising but the story quickly became disjointed, uninteresting, and senseless. Zero character development in contrast to the story progression. Overall, had a good premise but poorly executed, obviously rushed story.

Surprisingly awful

Reviewed: 01-13-23

I am shocked. Truly. Molly Harper is a fantastic author whose books are filled with humor, mystery, love, and adventure.

Typically.

But this one is god-awful. This book is so mind-numbingly boring, from the uninspired and unoriginal plot to the dull, unlikeable, and completely forgettable characters, finishing this book was almost physically painful. It was like pulling teeth, the story just kept dragging on and on, yet it seemed like the bland main character and her love interest were suddenly in a relationship but they were on their first date? It was confusing, terribly paced, badly written and honestly should fade into obscurity. The reviews saying this was a good book are lying. It's her worst novel yet and is in the running for the worst book I've ever listened to.

Referred to women as “Females” so much so that it was off-putting

Reviewed: 09-28-21

I loved the narration. Both narrators did an amazing job and really embodied their characters. I thought the story was cute although extremely predictable. Overall it was a decent slow burn novel. The reason for my rating was the constant reference of women as “female” and men as “male”. The words man and woman or men and women were hardly used and male and female were used in its place. While this may seems like an extremely minor, nitpicking type of thing, it really was jarring to hear such educated and professional adults refer to other humans as male and female. Even when the main characters were in a pseudo relationship, he would still refer to her as a female and she would even refer to herself or other women as females. It was like they were referring to animals or another species. It truly would jar me out of the story every time because it sounded so unnatural coming from the narrators. And the fact that it was soooo overused made it almost hard for me to finish the book. (Yes, it was that bad.) I don’t know the reason behind the creative choice to use that verbiage instead of simply saying men and women, but for me and apparently other readers whose reviews I have read, it would have made this a 4 star review instead of a 2 star review.

All in all, I’d read more of the author’s work because everything else was just fine. Nothing earth shattering, but pleasant. If the next book I read refers to women as females again, I will drop it immediately, though.

I tried it.

I gave it shot. Sounded like a great plot from the description. It was just…boring. The dialogue from the characters was great, but the story just didn’t deliver. Narrator was great. It had all the potential to be a great book, but fell flat. Tried to incorporate a mystery element that just didn’t work for the storyline. Story is drawn out WAY too long with very little happening from beginning to conclusion except for realizations from the main character. Overall, after the 3rd hour, listening to the rest just felt like a chore.

This book was amazing. Seriously one of the best, funniest and entertaining I’ve read from any author. The use of humor was masterful and the plot was believable and exciting. There wasn’t a moment where I was bored. Narration was absolutely captivating. I will be reading all books in this series and may have found a new favorite author!

Great premise, badly written...

Reviewed: 04-07-21

It was hard to make it through this one. I’m a self-professed nerd so I was excited for this one! I was expecting a sweet, cute, funny slow burn, but what you get was a whole lot of plot holes, badly written characters, and nonsense. Narrator was great but the story made little sense and after sitting through about 7 hours of this book with little to no story progression and constant whining from the main character, I just couldn’t anymore and switched to another title (and I ALWAYS finish books even if they aren’t great so that’s saying something).
