Facial Recognition

De: Jennifer Peel

Narrado por: Allyson Voller

For her, it was love at first sight. For him, love wasn't an option.

Twenty years ago, Gracie Cartwright became the first prom queen in the history of Pecan Orchard High School to be stood up. Now, she's on a mission to plan the ultimate high school reunion and get the prom night she always envisioned. All she has to do is find the perfect date.

But after going on 35 blind dates, she's losing hope that she'll find Mr. Right or, at least, Mr. Right Now. Then, Brooks Hamilton, the man she knew she was meant to marry, walks into her spa for a facial massage. Too bad she's never forgiven him for standing her up at prom all those years ago. If that isn't enough, she finds out he's dating her nemesis, and he's a divorce lawyer who doesn't believe in marriage. And what's worse is, he doesn't recognize her.

However, when Brooks' estranged father falls ill, the pair are thrown together, and sparks fly when the old friends butt heads about almost everything. But despite the tension, it doesn't take long for Brooks to recognize that maybe he made a huge mistake letting Gracie go all those years ago. But is it enough for him to let his guard down and admit he was wrong about relationships and give Gracie the prom night she always dreamed of? Or, will they miss out on the love that's been right in front of their faces the entire time?

Just Okay

I love Jennifer Peel’s work but this book fell a little short for me. Brooks and Grace knew each other when they were high school. Grace felt from the time they were in high school that Brooks was made for her. Due to life, they have not seen each other in many years. As we get to know Brooks I honestly could not stand him. He needed to get a backbone so much earlier in the book. It was just so hard for me to root for Grace and Brooks because Brooks was no I likeable to me. Excited to read another Jennifer Peel book since I think this is an outlier for her usual work.

Facial

Sweet, Clean Romance

Jennifer Peel does it again with Facial Recognition! This book is sweet and spicy while still being a clean romance. Brooks and Grace are relatable and intelligent characters. I loved getting to know Grace’s sweet, spunky side while she planned her high school reunion and gave Brooks a run for his money!

Oh Crow...so good!!

Jennifer Peel’s stories never disappoint!! They make me laugh and cheer for the characters as they navigate some of life’s hardships. In Facial Recognition Grace falls in love with Brooks at first sight but life doesn’t go how she hoped. Years later they reconnect and have a second chance to work through past heartache. Grace is darling and you can’t help but hope Brooks becomes the man he was meant to be. While the book is a lovely escape it left me wanting to be more like Gracie!! To be comfortable with myself and live life free of others expectations. Definitely worth listening to this book.

Love this book so much!

Such a fantastic story from Jennifer Peel! The narrator really brought the characters to life! I will definitely be listening to this again.

A fun, sassy book with a second chance

4.5 stars.
Gracie is a sassy character that lives her life without apology. I love some of her lines and that she doesn't settle but challenges Brooks. Brooks is definitely a love/hate kind of character. I really wanted his self reflection to get moving and sometimes I felt he was regressing instead of progressing. Lots of forgiveness and finally dealing with the past are needed before Gracie and Brooks can find a happy ending. A good reminder that both love and forgiveness are powerful emotions.
I thought Allyson Voller did a great job of creating a voice for Gracie. Occasionally it sounded a little robotic but overall I enjoyed the sass and twang.
I was given a free copy in exchange for my honest opinion. Listened at 1.2x speed.

Holy Crow this Book is Fabulous!

Jennifer Peel's books are all amazing and she always has a way of capturing beauty in all the feelings and emotions her stories bring forth. Facial Recognition is one of my favorites! Gracie and Brooks story hit the spot with its wit, humor, emotional moments, and relatability. The narrator, Allyson Voller had a magical way of bringing the characters of Facial Recognition to life. I felt like I was a part of Pecan Orchard while listening to this book. I laughed so hard, especially as Gracie's hilarious inner dialougue and witty comebacks were vocalized. I recommend listening to this one! You won't want to stop. It is that good!

EXCELLENT

This is a very enjoyable read. I loved Grace’s personality. Lighthearted & kind to everyone Grace never got over the heartbreak of her high school sweetheart. Now he’s back in town & she relives 20 years ago. Narration is very good.

Makes You Feel Good

I loved the bubbly personality of the main character. I feel like we could be besties! I laughed and smiled through most of the story and in a couple of places, I was furious, and I cried as well!
What a well written and entertaining story!
