About this listen

When her dating app decides she's a man, what's a lonely lesbian to do?

Jamie Richards is a scientist who embraces reason - except when it comes to romance. Tired of her impulsive streak leaving her heartbroken, she's determined to do everything right the next time she's in love. But her resolve crumbles when a technical glitch matches her with perfection in Claire, a woman who lives on the opposite side of the country. Who is straight. And under the impression that Jamie's a guy. But Jamie can't help being smitten. Would one tiny lie be so terrible if it gets her closer to the woman of her dreams?

Claire Flores is a dreamer and a believer in signs, but she has a secret that keeps her cautious about love. All she wants is a picture-perfect family of her own, but she's never met a man who attracts her. Until now. Throwing caution to the wind, she goes from Portland to Boston to meet Jay, her online love. Instead, she meets Jamie, his work colleague, who befriends her in Jay's unexpected absence. Claire's heart is aflutter. Jamie stirs up feelings Claire never knew possible, but how close can she get without having to admit that she's been lying to herself about her dreams all along?

What starts as a simple fib soon snowballs as Jamie fabricates increasingly ridiculous tales to keep her identity as Jay under wraps, until a comedy of errors threatens to topple the whole charade to the ground. Can true love prevail when it's founded on a lie?

I read this some time ago and really enjoyed it. The characters are interesting and the story really draws you in. This time I had the opportunity to experience the Audible version. Again I really enjoyed the story, and Stephanie Murphy reads it well. The only problem she has is with pronouncing Norwich, which perhaps she should have checked before recording the narration.

Very enjoyable.

This book is well narrated. The characters are well put together in that the expressions of emotions are felt through the narration. The story is a little predictable and there are holes to be picked in the thread in some parts. Overall it is not Miranda's best work ( I am a fan) but it is an enjoyable listen. One major issue is the lack of research on the pronunciation of the English town of Norwich (the W is silent).

Nor-witch??

I like both author and narrator but, this didn't work for me, an English farce comedy attempt? the story just got worse with lies about lies, and I fast forwarded the last two hrs to get it over.

disappointed

Any additional comments?

This was a light and fun listen, with a really improbable story that had me groaning at times because of the lies that Jamie Richards was telling. However you might normalise her behaviour, it was mostly irrational and made an honest person like me quite uncomfortable. That said, the scrapes she got herself and Claire into were interesting and I spent some time waiting for the denouement, having expected it all to unravel some time before it did. If you want something to listen to that entertains, at the same time makes you squirm with embarrassment and have you wondering how this is all going to pan out, then go buy this.

LIght and funny
