Miss Apple Pants

Lost in Seattle

De: Charlotte Roth

Narrado por: Hope Dorman

Will Ella ever survive the move to Seattle? With her so-hippie parents. In the rain. With no friends, belongings, nada, zip?

Ella Jensen is an old soul stuck in a teenager's body, and she doesn't make friends easily. In her senior year of high school, her family moves across the country to Seattle, turning her already-small world upside down. She feels alone and lost....

But then she finds a box of decades-old love letters between Martha and Frederick; she becomes best friends with her tiny new neighbor, Miss T; and she gets her first kiss from Hans, a very symmetric German exchange student.

But summer ends abruptly when she is forced to make a decision that will change her life. Forever.

A warmhearted and humorous coming-of-age story, Lost in Seattle is a celebration of family, love, friendship, and that special bond between daughters, mothers, and women across generations.

If you love a fast-paced story with snappy dialogue and lots of humor and heart, this is the audiobook for you.

This book has so much going on, but you will love every second. It brought out so many emotions from me and yet it left me happy in the end but asking for more. I will definitely be looking for the next in this series.

Great read

I really liked this book. It was a great coming of age story. The characters were great and the narrator did a good job bring them to life. Look forward to more.

coming of age

The story begins with Ellie and her parents moving cross country to Seattle for her father's new job. Reluctantly uprooted again, Ellie tries to adapt to her new surroundings . The mixup of the Uhaul moving van was hilarious. Her parents stored the unknown owners boxes in the shed, only to open them on a "use as we need them basis. " After Ellie found a mailbox filled with letters in the shed, Ellie, her mom and neighbor,
Mrs. T created book nights to read them. The three became interconnected by reading Martha and Fredricks love letters to each other. A lot of the heartache they experienced in their life, mirrored her parents life. Ellie goes through many challenges , and one decision that will change her life forever.
I love the family dynamic Charlotte Roth created. I could just see how much love everyone has for each other. The banter, humor, sass, between Ellie and her parents is heartfelt. How their unconditional love and forgiveness is important in their relationship.
I thoroughly enjoyed Hope Dorman narration. How she would change from Ellie to Mrs. T, to Mom and dad, was flawless. Giving each character their own personality. 🎧Audiobookobsessionreviewer🎧

A Catchy Coming Of Age Novel

I have read this novel & just finished listening to it. I actually enjoyed listening to it even more than reading. The narrator Hope Dorman did fantastic portraying Ella Jensen's thoughts and inklings. Ella's character's voice enhances envisioning her real life. The pace & tone was smooth and evenly done. Very entertaining to listen to. The narrator did excellent bringing the character's & narrative to life. Looking forward to listening to the next novel when available.

A coming of age story set in 2012 & goes back in time to the eighties in Seattle, WA. A tale of two stories intertwined. One based on thirty year old love letters between Martha & Frederick, the other revolves around seventeen-year-old Ella and her hippie parents. The secondary storyline revolved around love letters is complex, & a intriguing tale intricately weaved into a entertaining storyline. Characters are witty, & one-of-kind. Overall, a sweet, humorous, & heartwarming fun read.
