The Good, the Bad, and the Dumped

A Novel

De: Jenny Colgan

Narrado por: Penelope Rawlins

A laugh-out-loud novel about a woman determined to track down her exes in hopes of repairing her failing love life—from the New York Times bestselling author of 500 Miles from You.

“I loved this book!”—Sophie Kinsella

We all look up our exes online…but should we?

Posy Fairweather is over the moon when her boyfriend Matt proposes in what is probably the most romantic way possible—on top of a mountain, in a thunderstorm, like something from a Nicholas Sparks novel. But a few days later he dumps her. Crushed and humiliated, Posy wonders why all her romances have always been such train wrecks.

Determined to gain some insight, Posy resolves to get online, track down her exes, and ask them. Which doors from Posy’s past should stay closed? Which might open? Can she learn from past mistakes? And what if she has let Mr. Right slip through her fingers along the way?

Next chick flick

I really liked it! And much more because of the happy ending! A really easy “read”

Funny and touching

I loved it so much, I bought 2 more of her books. A theme that many women can relate to.

Delightful

Sweet and sassy. Easy listening for the daily slog of driving. Just what a weary RN needs to decompress

Nice easy read

I liked the various story lines and voice over work! It was set in London and they used slang terms I didn’t know but you got the idea. I’d recommend for something easy to listen too

The characters were real !!

Giggles & tears! I just love this author performed perfectly Jenny is the best story teller

Colgan is a bit off

I usually love Jenny Colgan, but this one was tough to connect with. The characters are quite hard to like. Posey spends the majority of the story letting others determine most of her decisions. Perhaps what rubs me the wrong way is her totally selfish perspective? Fleur is right - she is self-absorbed and unmoved by the emotions of those around her.

The narrator might be part of the problem. Some of her voices are extremely annoying!

A very fun story!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was so much fun to listen to, made me want more of Posey & Matt and Lea & Gavin!

Great Characters

I love, and remember, every story I have read or listened to by this author. Ms. Colgan has such a way of having you truly understand her characters so you understand where they are coming from. Also, most of us have experienced life as these characters have so it makes connecting to the story even more memorable as The Good, the Bad and the Dumped does. Highly recommend.

Great story and character development

Enjoyed the book very much. Narrator was fine for the primary voice, but I struggled w supporting voices. Love Jenny Colgan rom-coms.

Horrible reader

The story was slow moving and the reader was very hard to listen to. I almost gave up several times. The ending did not redeem it for me.
