Spring break at college is supposed to be a time of fun and parties, but Alaska Rossi, a.k.a. Janey Smith, is on lockdown thanks to her father's mafia dealings.

When a mermaid turns 15, she is allowed to swim to the surface to watch the world above, and as the sisters become old enough, one of them visits the surface every year.

This is an interview?
Ms. Bright does not know when to finish her question and let her subject speak. The few words that Jillian Lauren was able to get in were very interesting, but I found Susie Bright's interview style to be absolutely grating. This is the second such Susie Bright program I have listened to and I am turned off so much by her style that I do not plan to listen to any more of her programs. I don't know why Audible.com features her so prominently.

I will check out this author
It is official, Susie Bright should not interview people where her jealous or envious attitude is incredibly obvious. We want to hear about the life and experience of this Author and hear how she came to write this book. I am not interested in hearing the interviewer try to couch her obvious loathing for women in the sex trade business. Calling the Author a 'slut', to me is amazing and judgmental, no matter how she tried to slide the comment into the interview. I'm not interested in her or her thoughts about Miss Lauren. Ten min of that crap was awful to listen to and I'm sure uncomfortable for Miss Lauren. I want to read the book because Miss Lauren was so graceful in her responses, and I suspect more worldly.

Susie Bright, there is an oxymoron of a name. Suzie the Insipid Idiot better defines her interviewing skills. Be warned, this is time you'll never get back.

I NEVER Give one star reviews ... So if I do!!
What would have made Free Interview: Susie Bright Speaks with Jillian Lauren, Author of 'Some Girls: My Life in a Harem' better?
Susie Bright's interview was totally contrived and controlled and demeaning towards Ms. Lauren. However, Ms. Lauren displayed total class and style and under the duress of this biased interview, she was a true warrior. Susie Brights style is crass and harsh and totally biased to 'her' thoughts and feelings. We wanted to hear the story of Ms. Lauren and not the whining jealousies of the interviewer, Susie Bright. I hope all who read my review please note this review is for SUSIE BRIGHT!! And not for the author Jillian Lauren. A message to Jillian .. please find another interviewer for your books and get it up on Audible. Fast!

Terriffic subject spoiled by interviewer
Jillian, and the stories she has to tell are really interesting. This interview though, was really spoiled by Susie's Bright's ego I guess. Ms Bright has an undesirably long introduction and then doesn't let the poor interviewee actually respond to the question as Ms Bright seems to want to talk more than she does want to interview. The second half, when Jillian is allowed to get a word in, is really quite interesting.

Ridiculous!
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Absolutely NOTHING could have made this a good audio book. I needed something to entertain me, and it was not this book
What was most disappointing about Jillian Lauren’s story?
Everything about it was disappointing. I was sick and wanted to listen to a new audiobook. Being free was more than I would pay.
Would you be willing to try another one of Susie Bright’s performances?
No way. She has the morals and values of a harlot. I am just happy it cost me nothing at all.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
After my initial shock, I was angry that I had even downloaded that horrible book to my computer.

Susie hogs the interview
What was most disappointing about Jillian Lauren’s story?
That we didn't get to hear much. Susie did most of the talking and said it all and left Jillian only to agree. I wanted Susie to be quiet so I could actually have Jillian tell in her words.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Too much talking
Any additional comments?
Susie, step aside and let your guests talk.
