Publisher's summary

Emily White works an exhausting transatlantic schedule for Crown Airlines. Crippling debt means she spends more time in the air as a member of the first-class cabin crew than she does on the ground being a mother, and she desperately misses her young son.

Fastidious passenger Olivia Lewis is used to things being a certain way. When her routine is changed by this new, attractive member of the staff, she attempts to reach out to Emily. Unfortunately, Olivia is famous for her terrible social skills, and things quickly go oh-so-wrong.

When disaster strikes for her son, will Emily be able to swallow her pride and accept the assistance Olivia offers?

SQFanFic to Novel!

I had read this story when it was just a SQ FanFic online and so I’m really excited to see that it’s made it to audiobook format! You Go!!
This story is absolutely awesome! It always has been. It really shines a bit of a light if some issues that don’t get much attention, especially is this form. But this story does a beautiful job of bringing some hard and at times heartbreaking situations for anyone to have to constantly go through.

The Narrator did a rather good job of bringing these characters to life. I had probably had a harder time adjusting to the Narrator’s voicing choices for a few of the characters simply because I am extremely we versed in this story’s original form and characters, so I had to actively got those voices out of my head.

I will say I’m not sold on Olivia’s voicing choices. It would clashes with the image of what Olivia looked, acted, and lived like. Accents follow social lines to a pretty heavy degree and the more heavy New Yorker accent just doesn’t fit.

I am really happy at least ONE of the characters’ names remained the same! lol though I really wished the scar had stayed in the same place. Oh well… legally suck sometimes…

Best writer and best narrator

Wow! I enjoyed it so much! Ae radley is my favorite writer and i read all of her books . And listened to all the audiobooks that are available and Amy putt is an amazing narrator!
I can’t wait for the other two books of this series! Favorite 🤩

Wonderful series! Great Narrator!

I loved this series! The character of Olivia was delightfully compelling and I thought Ms. Putt's vocal intonation and characterization were genius - she's one of my favorite narrators (all the British narrators are wonderful I think; not a bad one in the bunch). I used to work (recording, directing, editing) with a lot of very top-notch narrators (Don LaFontaine, Percy Rodriguez, Al Chalk, Mark Elliot) and I love them - so I can't help but pay very close attention when listening. Nothing worse than a bad narrator. Ms. Putt is a pro! I could listen to her read the phonebook.
I have listened to all of Ms. Radley's offerings from Audible and she hits the sweet spot for me - light but not stupefying, engaging characters, intelligent humor. I really enjoy her books. TBH, I wish there was a little more "heat"- but there's always Radclyffe for that :).

such a great story

this has long been one of my favorite stories . been following Amanda for years from online to print and now audio. love it!

loved it but...

great story but left with no ending as next books aren't available on audible. wth?!

Good, but not my favorite by Radley or Putt

OK I was enjoying the book, sort of slow chemistry going on, liked the characters, then ... the book ended?!! basically a cliffhanger and I didn't know i was listening to something that wasn't going to be wrapped up with a happy ending. I'll have to find out which book has the continuation of Olivia and Emily. Amy Putt, I love listening to your voice, but please STOP doing American accents. I kept imagining Liza Minelli in.the movie Arthur when Olivia talked with a NY accent. Amy Putt has the sexiest British and Scottish accents and probably many more I've yet to discover, but don't waste her voice on an American accent. My only real complaints would be 1-that the characters didn't have sexy English accents and 2- the fact that I bought half of a book. The book is still very good. I'll be looking to track down the next part of their story.

I need a sequel

I loved this book, for few reasons, first it gives an insight into the mind of the socially challenged, second it teaches how to deal with the socially challenged.
I love the 4 MC including the 5 YO child.
Narration was excellent.
Buy I need a better way to end it or a sequel.

What a wonderful story!

Amanda Radley has woven an interesting and entertaining story in this first book of the series. I enjoyed it so much that halfway through this one, I immediately purchased the next two without a second's hesitation. As always, Amy Putt's narration is perfect and she brings this wonderful story to life.

Loved the Series!

So I listened to the audio book and read the two following books in less then three days (I was sick in bed so there was nothing to stop me).Total page turner. Truly a romantic series that pulled at your heart strings. I found myself needing to know what was going to happen next. I was pleased with the writing the plot was well thought out. Once I got to know the characters I fell in love with them and never wanted it to end. I will read this again and again.

Loved it!!

I read this series a few years ago and was looking forward to it coming out in audio. It did not disappoint! The audiobook version did a great job bringing the book to life. Olivia is a person with a big heart that struggles with social interactions (Autism-Aspergers??). Her interactions with Emily and Henry(Emily's son) are funny, quirky, frustrating and at times challenging. It's hard to see how much she struggles and the "mistakes" she makes when we know she really means well. Emily is a great mom doing the best she can for her son. The both of them together could really complement the other. I can't wait to have book 2 in audio! Well Done!!
