A Journalist and a Speech Writer Are the Worst Communicators ever

It was okay. It was frustrating how dumb most of the characters acted and that the two MC’s had terrible communication, it was absolutely maddening. While ppl are complaining about the American accent, I know a person that was born in and grew up in America to two British parents who had a British accent. She sounds like the narrators American accent lol

Will continue...maybe

I’m not sure I can continue this series. I don’t like the narrator. Im sorry to say but the lisp at times was very annoying! Especially when she was trying to move from one accent to the other! The American accent was never consistent either. Sometimes she reverted back.

Beautifully Written!

This novel had me so wrapped inside! I love the quirkiness of Harry’s personality. The way her and Josie complement each other well is also a plus. I mean beautifully written! I am ready for book two with a whole new world.

Well...

I usually love reading/listening to TB Markinson’s books, but this one was a little to slow and gummy for my taste, some of the story was completely redundant.
She writes very well develops the characters well and this book is well developed but as I said too long...
Gabrielle Baker’s voice from time to time sounded bored as well as me... that is why I couldn’t give it 5 stars...

That accent tho

Sweet story but the "American" accent is so bad. I'm not even sure what region they're doing. It's supposed to be Boston I think, but largely southern for some reason mixed with a hard NYC accent. Makes it hard to enjoy as it's so distracting. Hope the rest in this series don't have the same narrator.
