About this listen

How much money does it take to quit your job? Exhausted and on the verge of burnout, Janice poses this question to herself as she doodles on a notepad at her desk. Surprisingly, the answer isn't as daunting as she expected. With a little math and a lot of determination, Janice cuts back, saves up, and buys herself two years of freedom in Europe. A few days into her stop in Paris, Janice meets Christophe, the cute butcher down the street - who doesn't speak English. Through a combination of sign language and Franglais, they embark on a whirlwind Paris romance. She soon realizes that she can never return to the world of 12-hour workdays and greasy corporate lingo. But her dwindling savings force her to find a way to fund her dreams again. So Janice turns to her three loves - words, art, and Christophe - to figure out a way to make her happily-ever-after in Paris last forever.

I read this as an easy read between books. It’s ok nothing special but amusing. Only thing that really irrated was the terrible pronunciation of the narrator. Endinborrah? Edinburgh is not pronounced like that. You’d think they’d bother to find out how the places ‘visited’ were pronounced. Daniel Creg? I know of Daniel Craig. I thought of chucking the book in but decided it finish as it’s such as short story and I always hoped it was going to get better. Nice time killer but nothing super special.

Easy quick read.

The story is fine. I probably wouldn't sit down and read the book, but it's an easy listen to have while I'm cooking or doing chores etc.
The narrator however is awful. Glasgow is not "glass-go", Edinburgh is not "edin-burrow", and the name Aine is not "anya". It makes it really hard to fully immerse in the story because of this.
