Things Are Looking Up

By: Maxine Morrey

Narrated by: Gloria Sanders

A page-turning, heart-warming romance, guaranteed to brighten up your day from the award-winning top 50 bestseller, Maxine Morrey

Perfect for fans of Lauren Weisberger and Sophie Kinsella.

Milly has been waiting for this moment forever and finally it’s just an hour away – an interview with Vogue magazine and the opportunity to get her foot in the door. There’s just one problem – totally engrossed in her mobile phone, Milly doesn’t see the bus that is fast approaching – until it’s too late…

When Milly next opens her eyes, the consequences of her accident become clear. Everything she has worked for and dreamed of suddenly feels out of reach. But there is one bright spot on her horizon – the reappearance of her ex Jed, in all of his six-foot-four, broad-shouldered glory, with the most piercing ice blue eyes Milly ever saw.

Once used to working in a whirlwind, Milly now has the chance to reconsider how to live. Will she rush back to the treadmill, get her head down and back to business, or is there a whole other life waiting for her, if she’ll just look up to see it?

Critic reviews

"An uplifting read that stops you in your tracks and makes you wonder '...but what if?' Absorbing, funny and oh-so-romantic, I loved every page!" (Rachel Burton)

Nice story, southern drawl distracting

Good story, narration of main character was good. The awful southern drawl was distracting and hard to listen to.

Great Story - bad accent

I loved this story but this was a horrible southern accent and I felt it made the lead male sound dumb.

Worth listening to!

Great clean story line. I enjoyed the characters and the way the built upon each other. My biggest complaint was the narrator. Speaking quickly doesn’t make it a male voice nor a southern drawl. A southern drawl is VERY different from a cajun drawl. Though the lead male is from the south, NO cajun from New Orleans would ever speak like that. Please take 5 minutes to listen to different dialects. You will be a better narrator for it.

loved it

Nice story without all of the raunch. Well narrated. Highly recommend this book. great read

Great British Tale

This is a really nice story. Definitely recommend. My only dislike is the narrator when doing the southern, American accent for the male MC, it was a bit rough but overall she did a wonderful job with the female lead
