Needs a new storyteller

I read this book when it was first published amd loved the trilogy. The narrator for the Audible version is very grating. Poor Jonathon sounds like a wimp, Daddy sounds overdone and Gabby sounds horrendous. The sound quality is very poor, it's loud one moment and super quiet the next. I had a very difficult time finishing this book which is a shame because it really is a good story. I would recommend anyone interested in this story to go and purchase a hard copy.

So fun and cute!

This book is so flirty, fun and just puts you in a good mood. It's not slow and it's totally relatable to the average female.
The only gripe I have is that the Author sounds way to old to play this character, I feel bad saying that but, the book is about a women in her 20's so to hear and older women narrate this kinda struck a weird nerve.

Dissatisfied

Not quite the ending I dreamed about and the narration didn’t quite fit the main character

Alot of Fun

Read this book a long time ago, but enjoyed it even more as audio. Good narrator too!

A delight!

The Little Lady Agency was fun and funny and a delightful read. I look forward to checking out more of Hester Browne‘s books.

brilliant

Wonderful story, great that one of my favourite books is on audio, can listen anytime.
Be open minded about the accents

Wonderful story shame about the narrator

This has been one of my favorite books for years. I was delighted when Audible released it. It's funny, lighthearted and has well rounded characters. The narrator Lara J. West isn't the best person to read it though as some of her accents, like Gabi's are painful. She also seems to have given Melissa's sister Emery a lisp. She does however do a good, plummy tone for Melissa. It might be my computer but I did have a problem with the story volume changing but overall being very quiet. Can't bring my self to send it back though as the story is such good, escapist Chick Lit!

What a rubbish ending!

at risk of giving things away, for me there was a clear romantic option and she didn't choose it! I was expecting the book to continue and for the right man to win out but sadly not. Coupled with those dire accents, this left me really frustrated.

Wonderfully silly

I love Hester Browne’s style, it’s always exactly what I’m after for some holiday reading escapism! I’ve always enjoyed the styles of her other narrators but West managed to drag each word out. I suggest 1.25x speed to kick it back into “lively”.
