Resumen del Editor

A breakup. A mix-up. Will there be a makeup?

Jess Sharp's life hasn't exactly gone according to plan. She's 32, unemployed, and single after a devastating breakup. She's also left Australia for London to live in her parents' spare room. Her chaotic life seems to be spiraling until she meets someone who could be a game-changer.

She's optimistic after a wildly successful first date, but far too much tequila and the ghosts of girlfriends past may drag her far below her lowest point. Can she win the race for romance without tripping?

London Calling is the first book in a series of lesbian romance novels. If you like punchy drama, wicked humor, and charming British characters, then you'll love Clare Lydon's hilarious debut novel.

This book was a little slow going for me

I love a good romance novel, but this one seemed to drag on a bit. I felt it was a little forced. I do like the characters in the story. I did not really care for the primary character. she sort of fell flat for me. I absolutely adored Lucy though.

Very enjoyable story

This was the first book I'm heard from this writer and narrator, but it won't be the last. I enjoyed the story very much and the narration was well done. I could easily distinguish between characters.

One of my favorite Clare Lydon books

I love this book so much! I'd read it previously on my Kindle, and it was just as good - if not better on audio. I started it up in the car with my wife in the passenger seat...and now, Clare Lydon officially has a new fan. If you enjoy sitcom-style humor, realistic characters and unfortunate incidents that make you cringe, I can't recommend this book highly enough!

Light British Romance

First I have to clarify that I'm not a Lesbian. I wanted to clarify my status so Lesbians may rightfully discount my opinion, but I do read a lot of romances so eventhough I accidentally bought a Lesbian romance, I still listened to it and will give a review. I liked the witty banter and the light feel of the book. what I didn't like was the main character...hopefully this isn't a spoiler since it happened near the beginning, but she had a one night stand with a girl and dumped her because of her voice. If there was more character development before or after this event to know this was an anomoly or how bad she felt... because of that she came off as shallow...too caring about appearances and not personality. Still because of the great dialog, I still enjoyed it.

Brilliant witty romance

I enjoy very much Clare Lydon style, her stories are always captivating, this story in particular is a very witty, funny, enjoyable romance, about all the misfortunes Jess goes through from the heartbreak moment and leaving Australia, I found very interesting how things went on as soon as she’s back home and how she felt out of tune on her return to London after being away for a while, finding a new love interest without being part of her plan, but a welcome thought at the end, and then again life turned out to be everything but boring for her, and can’t help but think how amusing it is her winding road through her brand new relationship while navigating and trying to avoid her ex-lovers that want her back, creating so many mishaps and misunderstandings between her and Lucy, but glad that at the end they found their way and happy ending. It’s a fun romance to hear. Loved the British accent, Emily Bennet does a great job with the voices, I won’t deny at first felt a little robotic but warms up nicely and ends up being fantastic, also the quality is grand.

Truer Caller

Why is it that as some as you decided to move forward , after a breakup, the person who broke up with you,,,wants you back? Enjoyed this book, but hated the accent. Later on this year I will listen to another book in the series. Off to my next adventure.

Super slow

This book was super slow. I think it was 6 hours in before we got to the first date. So many details that read more like a rigid journal than a romance story and really there was no character development. We got lots of story details but very little actual story.

London Calling, be sure you answer.❤️

I was immersed into Jess's life from the opening paragraph. Well, Clare Lydon had me at September 2009,Sydney, who doesn't love a romance set in their own country? Jess, Kate, Lucy and friends feel like people you know, they feel real. I'm sure we have all known a Karen in our lives? We get to follow the highs and lows of dating and their relationships. Be it best friends, lovers, family or work mates.

Emily Bennett is fantastic as the narrator,really got me caught up in all the different characters.

So if you like to laugh out loud, scream at characters and feel like you are actually part of their lives then London Calling is the book for you. Like all good books, when it ends you feel like you have lost a best friend, but having had a great time along the way. Luckily for me the next instalment is already in my Kindle.

Great series

Least favorite story of the four but it’s a fun book and requirement to read the first story. Great book regardless. Also the funniest one.

Dull as dishwater

This book was not easy to get through. It was unremarkable in every way, which surprised me because I love most Clare Lydon books. The narrator wasn’t my favorite but I won’t hold it against her because she was honestly trying to make something from nothing. This was as bland as unseasoned chicken breast and I was honestly quite relieved when the book ended sooner than I expected it to. Literally nothing interesting or exciting happened in the entire length of this book. Skip this one and save yourself from the monotony of Basic Brenda is left broken-hearted by a woman aptly named Karen then meets Boring Brittany and falls in love.
