Length: 7 hrs and 21 mins

Publisher's summary

Coco Pinchard always dreamed of being a successful writer, but then life got in the way. She married young, had a son, and put her dreams on hold. But now she's 40, and her first novel is about to be published! Her husband Daniel has greyed nicely into a silver fox, and her son Rosencrantz is all grown up. Shouldn't it be time to enjoy life?

That is, until the annual family Christmas when her hideous in-laws come to stay, and Coco opens her gift from Daniel. It's not the jewelry she chose, but an iPhone. This marks the start of Daniel's mid-life crisis and Coco catches him in bed with a younger woman.

The iPhone becomes a confessional, and as Coco's life unravels, she documents her seemingly endless (and often entertaining) run of bad luck through emails to loyal friends Christopher, an ageing trustafarian, and Marika, a slightly alcoholic schoolteacher.

Then Coco meets the hunky Adam and she's back in the world of dating as a single 40-something. Listen to the heart warming and often hilarious tale of Coco picking up the pieces, in this fun, feel-good romantic comedy.

Silly read

Funny but too long of a storyline. I’ll stick with Robert’s thriller series. The narrator was top notch!!

So funny and clever!

This is not what I expected from RB my current favorite Murder writer. You MUST give this cute quirky book a try! ❤️❤️

I 😅 My A$$ Off!

I took a chance on this one. I'm a fan of the author and the narrator. The story was a risk that paid off in spades!

Cute story

A nice light read with fun characters. The author really knows how to write female characters! It reminded me a little of Bridget Jones, but with enough of its own style to not just be ‘the next Bridget Jones’ if that makes sense. Definitely a feel good novel

Perfect.

I have read Bryndza's thrillers and was between other books. I decided to give this a try. It is not my usual fair for entertainment but trusted Bryndza's writing and needed something lighter with coronavirus making me sad and irritated. What a LOVELY break from life. Cramer's performance is outstanding. Coco is a delightful character that I wish I knew in real life. I have no idea if other Bryndza fans will enjoy it, but I plan on spreading it to my circle. What fun! Buying the next one. My only concern is how much I will miss Coco after I finish this series. Thank you, Robert Bryndza for the laughs!! Kim Cathey

A good, funny, unique story!!!

The story is written from the perspective of Coco's emails. This took me a little bit to get used to, but it made the story very interesting. The book is funny and well written. Enjoyed it so much, I went and downloaded the other books in the series. Definitely a good one to get when you need something relaxing and funny to listen to.

Hilarious

This is normally not my genre, and I am not entirely sure how I ended up with it in my library, but I am so glad I did! I find myself laughing out loud in many places. Smart, well written, and well acted audio book.

Wonderfully Funny!

I laughed out loud several times while listening to this story. I thought it was brilliant! Next! Book 2 already downloaded. Love love love these characters, can't wait to see what shenanigans they are up to now!

Only OK

I love his detective books and though that I would try this. Definitely not for me. I could not care about the character at all. it was well read.

Stick to crime/thriller

Bit of a job to get through if I'm honest- dull , shame as I love the thriller stuff he writes

Fabulous

Loved this book really well written and narrated! Very emotional and laugh or load funny.

Not So Secretly a good book!

Having read and enjoyed The Not So Secret Emails of Coco Pinchard book a while ago, I was excited to hear it was been created as an audiobook. Coco had me chuckling at her antics (at a time that our lives seem to mirror each other's) and was keen to hear her and her crazy family brought to life.

Well, she had me 'snaughing' (snorting/laughing) on the bus to and from work on a regular basis (I decide not to look at my fellow travelling companions and just enjoy hearing Jan Cramer bring Coco to life).
I had forgotten some of the intricacies of the stories and quirks of individuals. Hearing Coco getting herself together made me smile and cringe and chuckle. Other people's ridiculousness is so true to life it can only ring bells with some of your own situations (a ridiculous ex, and annoying mother in law, interfering family, and mixed up youths)

Loved it. Well done to Robert Bryndza for a great comedy which stretches between London, America and Edinburgh. Can't wait to hear the remaining stories of Coco come to life x
