What made the experience of listening to A Passionate Love Affair with a Total Stranger the most enjoyable?

Well constructed story around very believable characters. The narrator and story were excellently matched.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Charley Lambert - the main character was my favourite personality in the story - she is portrayed as a very strong minded business woman who can be very clumsy and very funny. Written in the first person - the narrator certainly became this character and that of others personalities within the story.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I enjoyed the entire book - all scenes were totally captivating.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely a book that can be enjoyed in one sitting - life permitting of course!

Any additional comments?

Will certainly be listening to more from this author and narrator - an excellent combination.

Extremely Enjoyable.

I genuinely wanted to like this book, it has a great concept so why wouldn't I? Well, the main character is insanely irritating with very little self confidence and the other members of the plot seem to be slightly unhinged in various different ways. I was ready to give up on this book 3 or 4 times but I kept wanting to see if it got better. It didn't. After 13 hours I was relieved it was over.

Charlie (pops) is attracted to men who are bad for her, she bangs her boss in a closet. Her friends and family are all varying shades of odd. This would be a great plot for a romantic comedy but this book seems to lack any humour whatsoever. Due to an accident she starts an online love letter writing agency and 'chaos' ensues from there.

Painful story

I usually try to get american accent narrators because I am afraid I may not understand the pure english ones and what they are saying, being a non-born english speaker myself..... But my God this narrator gave another meaning to this book. I was completely hooked !!!

I enjoyed this book so much, i kept on going whenever I got the chance of a little alonr time. I smiled and laughed while listening to it, and I got a bit emotional at times and there where other times I just went on speaking to the character saying something like " OH MY GOD !!! "

I had a bit of a problem at the beginning when you really try to focus and understand where is this book going and what it is about but I quickly got over that and was inmerse into the storyline.

I liked the main character, she was funny and impulsive and she had a spirited mind.... I guess the writer is an excellent one! I recommend this book for an enjoyable time.

Great read

I very rarely find myself struggling to finish an easy fiction read but for the first 4 hours it was touch and go. The last couple of hours with the “will they won’t they” scenario got slightly interesting but I wouldn’t recommend I’m afraid.

Had to persevere to get through this!
