Highly recommend this book. Not the usual tripe, boy meets girl, one of them gets pissed off over some misunderstanding, they get back together in the last 5 minutes of the book. This had substance, it was sad, emotional, witty and actually believable! Narrators were very good too, an added bonus.

This is a story that should have teenage boys and girls as the main characters. It's soaked with teenage like drama through and through. Extremely unbelievable as an adult story for the most part. Who goes on holidays and immerses themselves so deeply in strangers lives? Ridiculous.

This was a nice story, easy listening and an interesting enough story line. The narrator was brilliant, good a accents and in particular the male voices, very good differentiation. The only gripe I have is that there are far, far too many coincidences happening from start to finish. I appreciate it's set in a smallish city but I live in a small city and never bump into people at the rate these characters do! But that's not enough to be put off, have a listen, it's worth it.

I couldn't get beyond chapter 3, the narrator was good but her American accent was horrendous. I was cringing 😬

This book is well worth your time. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but unfortunately, I listened to it too fast.
It was well written, the narration is very good and it's witty which I needed just after Christmas!

It's an ok book. The story was a bit lack lustre and there was far far too much narration from Nora. Very slow moving and nothing really happens. Still, it's worth a listen if you want something that you can easily multi task to.

This was an 'included' book, O wasn't expecting it to set the world alight but I also didn't expect it to be boring drivell. Give it a miss.

Emmy needed a funt up the h*le in the second last chapter. I almost stopped listening but for the sake of 2 chapters, I kept going. She deserved another funt in the last chapter for doing a full 360 and becoming whiney! Also the constant introduction of messages with 'Suit Monkey' and later on 'Tristan' nearly gave me a brain haemorrhage. But despite all this, it wasn't terrible for a free book, the premise of the story was good.

Pure tripe. It droned on and on about nothing. Awful American accents. I give 2 stars because I thought at the start it had potential but, nope, as it turns out, it didn't.

I would gladly have used a credit for this book but it was free and what a gem! A wonderful story of a young girl who was a freedom fighter in Rhodes in 1944/45. Such an emotional book, I learned so much about Rhodes during WW2, something I never even thought about before. The narrator was exceptional in my opinion, although some didn't like her I just don't know why.
