The Wish List

By: Melanie La'Brooy

Narrated by: Nikita Waldron

Lucy, an actress who just can't get a break, is warm, funny and a total addict for happy endings. She just can't seem to find her happily-ever-after in the backstreets and bars of bohemian Melbourne.

When the devilishly handsome Byron appears, Lucy thinks she has fallen into her own personal fairytale. But when she's faced with a case of mistaken identity, a noble quest, a lovelorn serenade and a duel to the bitter end, Lucy must confront the eternal question: is true love fact, fiction or something in between?

Wouldn't recommend

Long winded story that doesn't really go anywhere. the voice actor mixes up accents occasionally.

Enjoyed this!

Found myself laughing out loud while listening to this book.
I’m glad to have found this author.

Really enjoyed

WAS just like a Friends episode. Pleasant and entertaining. There’s even a dog! Audible always want too many words, lol.

Cute and funny and the narrator is very talented

Light hearted and funny with a "Friends" vibe. The narrator really brought the characters to life. I enjoyed this recording. It gave me a reprieve from this crazy world.

Friends-ish... with more F bombs

I listened to this waiting for my next book club book to come in from the library. it's cute!
Easy breezy read, nice break from some of the heavier stuff my club reads sometimes.
I also realized this was written around the time I was getting married so it was kinda fun to look back on my earlier years and how dating and technology have changed!

Difficult to keep up

Mildly entertaining, albeit silly. With the broad range of loony characters and terrible accents jumping all over the place, the storyline is difficult to follow. However, the humor was able to come through the absurdity of the situation comedy.

cute

Loved it! It was entertaining! Very well performed. Overall enjoyable, and worth listening to.

Cute and funny

The book is not great, but very cute light hearted and funny. It was easy to listen to.

An extended episode of Friends

For me this book felt like an extended episode of Friends. It’s funny and has many “friends moments”. This is more of a story of a group of friends and the crazy things that happen to them. There is a romance story very a la Rachel and Ross kinda romance. It’s an entertaining story and funny but I wouldn’t call this a romance per se. It’s more fun than romantic. Narration was good and the Australian accent was spot on.

needs improvement

There is no clear antagonist or protagonist, the narration is strait forward and with little change so it is hard to tell who is speaking.
