Brilliant story, terrible narration

This is a brilliant book, spoilt by the casting of the wrong narrator. Having met Bridget in other stories this narrator just didn't match the character. Firstly she sounded older than Bridget but more than that, she made Bridget sound cutting/narky/aggressive which is so different to the bubbly character described in another book. Even the males seemed to be portrayed as moody. I found myself repeating parts in my head in the tone I felt the speech/thought/sentence should have been said. It was only the storyline that kept me from sending it back.
If you can get past the narration, this book is another great from Paige Toon.

Awesome book, terrible narrator

Massive Paige fan, absolutely love this story and this is another cracking read/listen. Cleverly written and great characters as usual.
As soon as I heard the narrator.... I thought this is not the voice or the age of the person she is portraying, she seems so much older and boring (sorry). So I agree with the other reviews, very good book but you will have to put up with the narrator.. Maybe buy it as a book instead.

Bad narrator

Narrator didn't seem to have read the book before she recorded it as she often paused in the wrong place and didn't always give the right intonation to the text she was reading. Also in common with others I didn’t feel her voice matched the character. I nearly gave up listening however, the narration improved but only towards the end. For me this spoilt the book which if read by someone else would have been much better.

Bad choice of narrator

Having met the main character in several other books the narrator did not match her at all and totally spoiled the whole story for me.

Another great

Paige hasn't let us down, this book is a wonderful story! I couldn't put it down, the 10 hours flew by! I loved Bridget, and fell in love with Charlie and his very cute daughter. This is a must read. Thanks Paige!

Loved this book

Wonderful book I liked the fact that she wasn't all lovey dovey with Charlie from the beginning it was a great friendship for most of the book.
I enjoyed the narrator with all her accents for the different characters.

Great story poor casting

I lived the story of this book and the characters and the writing style. Unfortunately when I struggled with was the narrator as I didn’t feel her ‘voice’ matched Bridget’s and her style was very stiff and felt like she was asking a question at every line! It took away from what is a beautiful story

Good story, did not like narrator

I’m happy that I read the book before I listened to the audiobook. This is one of my favourite books of Paige Toon. Slow burn love story with likeable characters. But the narrator does not fit at all. The voice is much to old and she doesn’t seem to have a feeling for the story and the characters. Charly appears plump and insensitive whilst Bridget appears superficial and is sometimes a little high pitched. What a pitty.
Better read it!
