The Misadventures of Callie Compton

A Sapphic Romance

De: Alyson Root

Narrado por: Lillia Green

It's not everyday you find out that your sweet, sweater-knitting, church-going grandma is the UK's most prolific crime boss. For Callie Compton, that day became a reality on her eighteenth birthday. Not being criminally inclined, Callie did the only thing she could. She bided her time, stole her grandma's little black book of scumbag employees, and ran for her life.

Six years later Callie finds herself in a small café in Sweden, her Spidey sense is tingling. Someone is watching her. How did they catch her trail? And what is she going to do next?

Daisy Simpson knew from the age of sixteen that Callie's grandma was a bad person, just like her own dad. How she regrets not telling Callie before leaving for university all those years ago. Maybe then Callie wouldn't have disappeared without telling her. Not only was Callie her best friend, and first unrequited love, she was also Daisy's biggest supporter. Being born deaf into a family like hers wasn't easy.

Using skills she's not at liberty to discuss, Daisy tracks Callie to Sweden. After a few days of playing hide and seek, Callie and Daisy are finally reunited. The duo set out to bring Betty, aka Queen B, to her knees. Easy, right? Wrong!

Callie and Daisy must navigate their growing feelings toward each other, deal with several less than happy women, overcome flooded caves and one raging bull. This is no adventure. It's quite the opposite.

Callie Compton's story is phenomenal

This book has it all. Romance, espionage, fleeing from a crime boss... who just happens to be Callie's grandma. Just trust me and have a listen. The narrator, Megan Elliott, was new to me but I don't think she will be much longer with such a stellar performance.

Amazing

I loved this audiobook. This is the first book I've read by this author and narrator but it won't be the last. the sarcastic dry humor had me cracking up. The story was fun and ridiculous and I just can't say enough good things about it.

Exciting Romp Around Western Europe

Alyson Root did a great job moving back and forth between the POVs of the two main characters, Callie and Daisy, The narration is perfect for this story.

What a great read!! I loved the format as well as the dual pov. I felt like I really knew the characters and would laugh, cry, scoff right along with them. And the adventure! Oh wait, I mean misadventure! I almost feel like I actually visited all these amazing places too! These characters grabbed my heart from the beginning and haven’t let go even after finishing. Callie and Daisy were perfect together and their chemistry was scorching! Thank you for the wild ride!
