Those Who Wait

De: Haley Cass

Narrado por: Lori Prince

Sutton Spencer's ideas for her life were fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great, too.

Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite. She's always had clear steps outlining her path to success with no time or inclination for romance. Her burgeoning career in politics means everything to her, and she's not willing to compromise it for something as insignificant as love. Fleeting, casual, and discreet worked perfectly fine.

When they meet through a dating app, it's immediately clear that they aren't suited for anything more than friendship. Right?

Contains mature themes.

Great story. Awful narrator.

Loved the book, the characters, their struggles. However, the narrator nearly ruined it for me. The voice for Charlotte was great. However, some voices are very out of character - for example, Sutton is a graduate student and valued assistance in literature at a prestigious university. Yet Prince's narration lowers her to a petulant brat rather than an accomplished student. At times the voices were so cringe worthy that I bought the Kindle book and used text-to-speech to listen to it.

I will read anything by Haley Cass but PLEASE consider a better narrator!

Good Love Story Overall

So, I will start by saying I have read this author’s other books which are amazing! I must admit it took me a while to get into this book because I am such a huge fan of Hannah and Caroline’s love story from WYLEI (go read that book right now, if you haven’t). That love story is much more mature. The criticism I have of this story is -it is a bit immature, in my opinion, the whole dating app scenario and situationship they are in. However, by the end I was definitely invested in their relationship and it turned out to be a true moving love story. The writer is very engaging so don’t let the length fool you, you definitely won’t be bored. :) However, I did want to say that the other book is better.

The story I’ve been searching for!

Let me start by shouting out, once again, my absolute favorite narrator for these genres on audible! She does an amazing job every single time. She manages to give so much personality to each character that she voices, you literally get lost in the story just listening to her. Like seriously, I will listen to books that I may be skeptical about, just because I see she is narrating them so I just go for it. Bottom line, absolutely love this narrator.
Now the story, absolutely amazing. If you really get into the genres, and sometimes get tired of the 7 to 9 hour stories, this book will most definitely keep you entertained just buy the length of it alone. I honestly can’t stand reviews with spoilers in them, so I’m just going to leave you with this, following these two women throughout the story, along with their friends and family, has been one of the most interesting reads so far in this genre for me. The plot was a yes! The mature content was most definitely a YES! And I’m trying to refrain from sounding too cliché, but this book made me laugh out loud, curse some of the characters out a few times angrily, and even tear up a bit at some moments. Honestly, just read it!

Hang in there!

It took a bit to get used to the narrator but once I did, I couldn't stop listening!

Amazing story of unabated love.

I will read several times over! The author has a firm grasp on the type of romantic love every person should enjoy. It was a reminder to me. That settling for anything less than the love these characters share...well is unacceptable.

Captivating story

At first I wondered how a romance book was going to be 21 hours long, but by the end I was sad it was going to be over. An excellent story and good performance that had me laughing at parts and heartbroken at others. The only distracting bit was how much campaign work was illegally being done on government property.

I really enjoyed this one...

I don't always write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so for this one. In the craziness of this past year, the feel good romances are keepers.. The author does wonderful job with character development, the narrator does a great job with assisting the reader by varying her voice for each of the characters. Take a chance, and listen in to this one. I thing it was worth the time. Il ne looking for other books by this author.

Worth it!

I laughed and cried and fell in love with all of the characters and felt privileged to come along on their journey.

Beautiful

This book is long but it is worth every minute love the story line the narrator did a superb job...definitely recommend...

A truly moving, beautifully written coming-out love story

Deserves six stars. Only the beginning seems a little slow — and I briefly thought the narration might be lacking — but once you get into the story, you won’t be disappointed. The lead characters are finely crafted, classic opposites. The sometimes homophobic political landscape of the story is realistic, yet imaginative. Supporting characters are witty, devoted, and thoughtful; they fill in important pieces of the complex evolution of the romantic relationship of the two friends who haltingly fall in love. (Overwrought voicing of the Regan character is sometimes annoying, but you get used to her screeching and the rest of the performance is excellent.) I rank this among the top five contemporary lesfic books I’ve ever read, and I’ve read hundreds.
