Lucky Girl - To be favored by Elvis

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

June Juanico certainly should have felt very special to have been so close to Elvis. I could almost feel exactly how she felt when describing those fun and intimate times she had with the King. What an experience - what memories! I enjoyed listening to the audiobook except each time the narrator, Bernadette Flaggler, pronounced "Biloxi". That made me cringe. Narrators should learn how the locals pronounce names before trying to narrate a book. Otherwise, she did a good job, and I would recommend the book. June detailed her experiences well.

Who was your favorite character and why?

June. She included lots of details.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No

Any additional comments?

All in all, a good and enjoyable listen, except for some of the pronunciation. Narrator did not know how the people in the area pronounce "Biloxi". Being from the area, I found it hard to listen each time she said it.

Oh Elvis...

June Juanico is a blessed talent for sharing her love story of Elvis with the world.

what an account... Thank You June!

I LOVED EVERY MEMORY SHARED! THANK YOU JUNE JUANICO FOR SHARING. Wish I could hear more 😊

The Best Elvis Book I’ve Ever Read.

I’ve read a tone of books about Elvis. Just like most serious fans. But this has topped them all. I just wish people wouldn’t try to sell the hard copies online for $500+! You should let others read it at its regular price. However, the narrator of this book is fantastic! And really captured all of the emotions. I highly recommend this book to all Elvis fans and those who are just getting into the world of Elvis. June Juanico, you are amazing!

Memories of life

I love her authenticity. She was a wise, wonderful woman who was funny, loving and yet I love her feistiness in which she didn’t allow people to walk all over her. She was true to herself & we can all be drawn into situations in which we may get stuck because of our emotions. She was strong enough & wise enough to see the signs and was able to walk away to something special & wonderful through the years. As her mom said to her at the start” don’t let anyone do this to you June, make sure no one does this to you!”. Referring to her own husband walking out on her daughter & herself. June did not do that and her way of decision making was both mature & pragmatic. God bless her. I heard she’s not feeling well & is in a facility to help her. I pray for strength she’s always had to carry her through this now regardless of the outcome. I’m rooting for her always. 💕🕺🏼🕺🏼❤️

Wonderful book!

I loved June’s book. For those who love Elvis, her story helps us love him more and also wish things might have been different.
