Making Lemonade

De: Kate Langdon

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Meet three thirty-somethings whose lives have swerved way off the beaten track… Jools has an addiction to married men, usually her boss, which always ends in disaster. Before she can come to terms with being unemployed (yet again), she finds herself up the duff, father unknown. Is it her charming, arrogant and married ex-boss? Or is it the man-child she met one drunken night at the Irish pub. If only she could remember his name… Sally is married to Vincent, a self-absorbed televangelist, obsessed with his TV show and beauty treatments. She spends her days working, ferrying her three children around and listening to her husband preach. How could her hopes and dreams have been so unimportant she waved them goodbye without a second thought? Kat has the perfect life all mapped out: the perfect job, the perfect husband, the perfectly renovated home and the soon-to-come perfect children. But when her suspicions that her husband is having an affair are proved to be correct, she suddenly finds herself single with a handbag full of broken dreams. Can they find their way back to the dreams of their youth – or is it time to accept life’s lemons and start making lemonade?

Virtual Voice ruins another book

The story may be good, but VV ruins it. The narration runs from one character's story to another's with no transition, no pause, no chapter number, nothing. So one minute you are listening to a story about character A, and in the very next breath, it has switched to character B, whose story is do different it leaves the listener bewildered and confused. I could not even finish the book because you never know which character's story you are hearing. We should be able to rate virtual Voice separately from the book itself because giving it 1 star for performance hurts the author's overall rating.
