The Wish List

Narrado por: Sophia Money-Coutts

This Christmas, love is top of Florence Fairfax’s wish list.

‘You want me to write a list? Like a shopping list?'

'Exactly. But for what you want from a man.’

Florence Fairfax might have been single for quite a while – well, forever, actually – but she isn’t lonely. She loves her job at the little bookshop in Chelsea and her beloved cat Marmalade who keeps her company at night. She’s perfectly happy, thank you.

So when Florence meets an eccentric love coach who asks her to write a wish list describing her perfect man, she refuses to take it seriously. Until later that week, Rory, a handsome blond man with the sexual athleticism of James Bond she asked for just happens to walk into the bookshop…

Rory seems to tick all of the boxes on Florence’s list. But is she about to discover there’s more to love than being perfect on paper?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The new queen of the rom-com returns." (i)

"Saucy...fizzing comedy in this slice of escapism." (Metro)

"Full of wit, warmth and heart." (Beth O’Leary, The Flatshare)

Funny and engaging

This book was funny with a great story. I laughed out loud on many occasions. What a great distraction from everyday life!

Unique & fun read, not shallow

This is my 1st read by this British author, who also narrates her book with a lovely but a bit fast-paced British accent. The book strikes a good balance between entertaining & serious & is both a romance and a life-story. It presents an interesting plot & characters. Worth the read if you don't mind the British accent, which I don't but I know some people have more difficulty enjoying audiobooks with certain types of accent, so just heads up.

Sweet and funny

I love the writer and that she narrates her writing. The story was not that in depth other than a gloss of the characters but for a beach read it is perfect.

Loved it!

A really descriptive book with characters that are easily identifiable. I am an expat living in Abu Dhabi and previous to that hailed from Fulham so this book really transported me back to my old life and made me look forward to Christmas! Can’t wait for the next one.

Perfect for a road trip!

I liked this book a lot. British women (especially romcom leads) are oh so similar. this one is no different. but it's a silly story about trying to find the balance in love. as I'm 35 and not had a boyfriend, I understand some of Flo's thought process, which bored some of the other reviewers. There's not much surprise and not especially deep, so perfect if you need to smile whole driving hours to go camping with 2 pups that don't provide much conversation.

I liked it!

MAY CONTAIN A FEW SPOILERS:

Overall the book was good. I do wish Florence stood up for herself more, for eg., against Olivia. Also, she let Rory get away with so much. She was always supporting him with his job and events and he didn’t reciprocate. I understand that this is all about growth and her learning that she deserves more but UGH! So frustrating. I’m glad she finally told him off towards the end. Performance was good. I like that Zach and Flo slowly built up their relationship. At the beginning they disliked each other and it grew into a great friendship and more. I do wish the author included more interaction between Zach and Florence. And OMG, they way he made her birthday so special. Swoon! Overall, good!

I have laughed out loud more times than I can count

This book tickled me so much. I have laughed so much. The story is read by the suthor and I love her inflection and cadence. She conveys the humor really well. The story line keeps up and doesnt get boring. I was left wondering what would happen. I listened in one day. I felt concern for the main characters and cracked up at her sisters and friends. I just added this author /narrators other books to my wishlist!🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂

Great read to take your mind off reality for a bit

I really enjoyed this book. I have read 3 from this author now. I do notice a similar thread between the books but I like the characters and the writing and it drew me in where by mid way through I just couldn’t put it down.

Fast, Charming, Heartwarming, Fun

Found this book totally diverting. Great escape. Really rooted for the main character to find and follow her heart. I took a star off the author's reading of her own book. in order to fully understand her British English, I needed to slow the playing speed down to 90%. (North American mid Atlantic here.) Please keep writing, Ms. M-C.

ugh!

bored out of my mind listening to this one! I didn't finish it, I couldn't. my mind wondered all the way through this book was so boring and drawn out. do not recommend.
