Who's That Girl?

By: Mhairi McFarlane

Narrated by: Cassie Bradley

Length: 14 hrs and 1 min

Publisher's Summary

An achingly funny story from the author of the best-selling You Had Me at Hello.

When Edie is caught in a compromising position at her colleagues' wedding, all the blame falls on her - turns out that personal popularity in the office is not that different from your school days. Shamed online and ostracised by everyone she knows, Edie's forced to take an extended sabbatical - ghostwriting an autobiography for hot new acting talent, Elliot Owen. Easy, right?

Wrong. Banished back to her hometown of Nottingham, Edie is not only dealing with a man who probably hasn't heard the word no in a decade but also suffering an excruciating regression to her teenage years as she moves back in with her widowed father and judgy, layabout sister.

When the world is asking who you are, it's hard not to question yourself. Who's that girl? Edie is ready to find out.

Very frustrating heroine, disappointing ending

Actually shouted out loud my annoyance w/heroine, vowed not to finish it but I did.

Stellar!

Cute, well-written, uplifting, and well-grounded rom-com! The storyline flowed and the characters were well thought out. I love seeing the character progression. it is so refreshing to enjoy books written from the perspective of someone who is well-versed in what healthy relationships and good boundaries look like!!!!! The narration was good as well.

Completely disappointing

Let me say up front that if bullying is a trigger for you, avoid this story and many of this authors other books.

The narrator did a fair job. I can say that. Sometimes her pronunciations were odd, but over all decent.

But the positives end there. The entire story is a slow-motion crashing of people never saying what they mean to say. The rare moments of honesty are lost among angst and supposition, hurt and anger. I found myself skipping ahead near the end, because the emotional scene that was meant to be climactic became so drawn out and wrung out and needlessly angsty that going through every word was too hard to stomach.

I won’t spoil the end but if you’re looking for something that seems well thought-out and satisfying, don’t even start this book.

Loved the narrator hated the main character

Honestly, Evie is sooo frustrating that I can’t even. If you don’t mind wasting almost 10hrs of your time listening to this, go ahead.
Currently on hour 7 and I am so done.

Dragged and rubbish ending

This had loads of potential but her previous relationship drama and choices were grating, and the ending was rubbish. It was a bit stretched out and dragged too. Shame because there’s a lot that could have been done with this story. The narrator has been great with other books, and although she was mostly good, it was really stilted and unnatural for a lot of the dialogue.

The best book I have EVER read

I loved loved loved this book!!

It was hilarious. But also so on the mark with every emotion that she spoke of.

I cannot recommend enough. I basically stopped speaking to everyone for two days as I was so obsessed with it.

Amazing book and such a great performance too. Great accents!

kept me gripped throughout

Loved the audio book. The characters really come alive. I laughed and cried and missed a motorway junction! Well worth a listen.

I didn’t want to finish it !

Yet another fabulous read by Mhairi McFarlane...brilliantly narrated by Cassie Bradley .. many unforeseen twists and turns , with truly memorable characters!
Sadly I’ve listened to every book written by Mhairi McFarlane now ... patiently waiting for the next one to be published ... what a fabulous author , highly recommended !

A fun listen

Good characters and an endearing performance. Will definitely be listening to more of her work after this!

Lovely and unexpectedly moving book

McFarlane's writing gets better and better. And so do the narrators. Very much enjoyed this book.

Very Enjoyable

Funny, sweet story. Made me laugh and cry (always the sign of a good story) Held my attention from beginning to end. Found the two main characters a bit frustrating at times as in 'for heavens sake get to the point' however having said that I fell a bit in love with Elliot.

Not one of her best

Spoiler alert!!!! Am going to discuss the last part. Story was good if a bit long winded could have been shorter. The love story ended up a bit crap in my opinion felt a bit if a much ado about nothing tbh. So only getting 3 stars

Fantastic

I loved Edie and wanted her to be happy and see herself as the good person she is. I wanted Jack to get his comeupance and the good people to come out on top. Highly recommended.

Good read

I liked the story line but found the narrator robotic with sentences at times.
