DNF

What’s your tolerance for lines like “he wore his shoes like he wore his heart: on his sleeve”? (Last sentence of chapter 15)

I was predisposed to like this story, and I think I have a pretty high tolerance for tropey plots and cringey dialogue.

I rolled my eyes at the heroine’s dumb shoe theory and her dismay at pulling her Scottish MMC out of the water only to discover, alas, that he was wearing NO shoes by which to judge him.

I rolled my eyes harder when he said something to the effect of “I’ve only known you for a couple of hours and I can already tell you’re unlike any woman I have ever met.” (No, she’s not in the circus or a world-renowned genius scientist or anything really remarkable up to this point, so he’s either a player or incredibly sheltered and isolated)

I rage quit at wearing his shoes on his sleeve. I turned off the audiobook and sat in angry silence for a few minutes. I was 3 1/2 hours in, nothing terribly interesting had happened (including any time travel), the narrator’s Scottish accent was not great, but about average for audiobook narrators without extensive training in accents, and I felt that I would rather finish my drive in silence than listen to any more of the book.

Quirky & Adventurous with FANTASTIC narration!

This was so cute!!!!!!! The story was fun and engaging, I saw so much of myself in Amelia. I LOVED Cal. Swoon worth Highlander? Yes please! I can’t wait for book 2. Jacci is one of my FAVORITE narrators and I loved her performance in this audiobook so much! So good!

A Great Escape

I laughed and I cried and was able to escape for a while into this charming story. The narrator did a really good job juggling all the characters. Looking forward to book 2.

Terrible

I will read over 100 books this year and this is 1 of 2-3 I cannot finish. Absolutely horrible writing.
