Not for me

A nice enough story, but not for me. I don't know if this is a British thing, but I cringe in stories that talk about someone's soul.
That's a personal preference only, so others might love that.

Loved this , a little gem. 💎

What a story! Characters that I loved and a story line that enthralled and melted my heart.❤ It was nice and definitely a warm hearted with a HEA.
The narrator was brilliant and I recommend this audio book.

A wonderful story!

Such a beautiful tale of two women finding love despite a very rocky start.

And Then They All Clapped

The plot was actually let down by the sub-plots - for me anyway. As some other reviewers mention, it was a bit cringe in places. I didn't finish the book.

Narrator did well, though.

To explain my title, the book sounded like one of those Tumblr posts.

The scene where the students give the lecturer a standing ovation. The scene in the airport where they specify that their bags are Luis Vuitton. Much of the dialogue. Just felt "off".

Totally improbable,very predictable,but enjoyable

Just as a good book can be ruined by poor narration, a poor story can be saved by a good one-Emily Beresford does just that. Narrated well.
An orginsl story. This isn't the best audio book, but it's not the worst. (Not had as awful as Radclyffe who should retire! and let the better authors rise) Its original. Don't expect much from this book and you won't be disappointed, It's a lightweight book you'll easily get through it and enjoy it.

Gem of a story

Good romance story and liked the performance by Emily Beresford a pleasing voice and good characterization.

As an Audible included title a great find and already downloaded my next listen by Lynn Ames.

Started this story at 2 am ( curse of insomnia) and finished at 4.50 am following morning.

Not every novel is enhanced by addition of audio.

Any additional comments?

This award winning novel from best selling lesfic author Lynn Ames really should have worked well with the addition of audio and narration by a very experienced narrator. I really wish I had read the book first. The storyline had a LOT going for it and maybe the book itself could have been split into different novels in a series? For me the pace and enjoyment of the book really picked up considerably after Rebecca met up with Dara's bff and from then on it was a much easier listen. At times it was a bit saccharine sweet, but I guess that is more to personal taste/choice of reading material. The narrative was a bit too soppy for me at other times and I felt the characterisations could have been more developed. The trickiest part for me was the choice of voices. Rebecca sounded 16 and adolescent, and Dara sounded far too deep and more masculine than her characterisation suggested. The bff/business manager had the voice that would have best suited Dara imo.There were lots of interesting clever touches and very neat tying up of loose ends. Perhaps a couple of characters were superfluous to the plot? I'm glad I stuck with it because overall I enjoyed it.

No betrayal required

The characters are well rounded and we get insight into their - sometimes - parallel thought processes.

It's so good to see the decisions some of us face written about in a calm and practical manner no melodrama about coming out just the gradual acceptance of our real selves.

I will be looking for more books by Lynn Ames

Good Book, well narrated

This book is a good book, took awhile to get into it, has a lot of spiritual content (seeing dead people, angels etc) would have liked to have had more interaction between the two main characters, rather than the spiritual content, but overall it was a good read.

It was well narrated by Emily Beresford, and she added to the story with the voices.

I think I laughed for all the wrong reasons.

This is the second Lynn Ames novel I have listened to and it will most likely be the last.
Don't get me wrong, the story was good, however some if not most of the dialogue was pretty poor. and a little cringe.
I really didn't like the narrator either.

If you are looking for a fun bit of fluff, go for it, but definitely not for you if you are hoping for great dialogue.
