Changing Course

Wrecked and Ruined, Book 1

By: Aly Martinez

Narrated by: Lucy Rivers, Christian Fox

I met Sarah Kate Erickson when I was 21 years old. I was lucky enough to keep her for seven years before a tragic accident stole her from me. She didn't die, but sometimes I think it would have been easier if she had. I lived in a haze for those four years after the accident. Catering to her every need, even though she hated the very sight of my face. I tried to hold on to her and the future that we were supposed to build together. But you can't hold on to someone that doesn't exist anymore. It wasn't until I met Jesse Addison, a barista at the local coffee shop, that I realized I didn't just lose Sarah that tragic night; I lost myself as well.

Wrecked and ruined me

What did you love best about Changing Course?

Great story — relatable and believable! It has all the elements!

What did you like best about this story?

It has drama and the angst is just the right amount. Also, I like that most of the characters are about my age

What about Lucy Rivers and Christian Fox ’s performance did you like?

All of it! They are amazing! Im a huge fan of them both.

Any additional comments?

This is my first Aly Martinez book and Im floored. Well written!

emotional

not erotic but definitely a real life like romance tragedy yet with a HEA

Whine, whine, whine

If you like insecure females, this is for you. I'm not sure in what land men are this patient in brand new relationships THEY don't even know they are comfortable with, but hey....maybe somewhere. I actually liked his ex better than the main female lead. How the heck did that happen?
The female narrator doesn't do men well, at all.

Disappointed

I really love every Aly Martinez book I have listened to, but this one was rough to get through. Lucy Rivers narration ruined it for me. Her voice for the male parts is awful and she made the female main character sound like a 15 yr old ditzy valley girl. I’m not entirely sure if that is why I could barely stand Jesse or if it was also because of the way the character was written. I really want to finish the series but I don’t know if I can listen to another book with Lucy Rivers as a narrator.

LUCY RIVERS SPEAKS THROUGH HER NOSE

Can someone send this women through speech therapy or an ENT physician. Perhaps it would be easier if she simply stopped narrating perfectly fine books and leave it to people who don't start and stop sentences through their sinus ducts.
