Resumen del Editor

Love is in the air?

Luca is used to being the ‘single one’ at weddings - it happens, when all your other friends are engaged, married or taken. But when she bumps into Tom, her friend from university who broke her heart into a million pieces, she finds herself wondering what could have been.

It’s 10 years later, surely she should be over that Tom by now? So why is he looking even more gorgeous than ever - and why doesn’t he seem to be able to keep his eyes off her either?

And as the champagne flows and old secrets resurface, Luca realises that perhaps the time to take a chance on love and life is...now?

Enjoyable story, didn’t enjoy the narrator

I enjoyed how this story played out, but I didn’t love the narrator. Her pitch choices for some of the characters did not seem to be accurate for the character. Example would be Clarky, who came off sounding like a girl. And the Welsh accent for Fiona, did not sound at all like a Welsh accent at all. Still, the story was enjoyable.

Ok story, awful narrator

The narrator was awful. I don’t understand why she gave Clarke such a high pitched voice.

The story was alright, but not as clever or funny as the author’s other work.

Not a favorite

Read a lot of her newer books all of which I loved. This one is slow, tedious and I’m just not drawn into it. The narration was too slow and monotone. Otherwise Portia is one of my favorite authors!

Just ok…

I love this author but this one is not her best. Missing the magic of the other novels I’ve read. Too many characters not well developed and story gets convoluted with flashbacks and internal monologues by the protagonist. I was ready for it to end halfway through and that’s very unusual for me. Glad I bought at a discount rate I doubt I’ll listen again. Narrator is ok. Different than the other books as well more childish tone and range of voices is limited. I highly recommend author’s other novels instead like the Plus One Pact and Stuck on You for a more traditional and charming British Rom Com experience.

cute but convoluted

I liked the characters. There was some depth to them. The narration was really well done. It wasn't your typical ending.

Not the regular narrator

I’ve listened to many audiobooks by Portia MacIntosh and enjoy the story every time! This narrator was not the best in my opinion she talks very slowly. I had to speed up the story just to listen to her speak at a regular rate. The story was interesting but didn’t have the ending I was expecting. There’s nothing wrong with switching up the ending but the predictable ending is what keeps me listening to books by Portia MacIntosh.

Good story line, narration difficult!

The story line was cute, but the narrator of the story made it painful for me!

Least favorite

I have enjoyed every other book written by this author. This book was boring and hard to finish.

My least favorite of her books

I hate to admit it, but the narrator made it hard to listen to just like the other reviews said.

Awful narrator

She seems to be very bored and disinterested in the book- sad? It’s bad. I can’t pay attention to the book. The narrator sounds like she’s about to off herself with depression.
