Beautiful Listen
Reviewed: 13-01-2021
I started listening to this book before I realised it was the 4th in a series. I loved the storyline, the rich history or tales (whether truth of history or not), the story tellers and simply everything about it.
I’ll now go back and start book 1

Story
Polly Spencer is fine. She’s single, turning 30 and managed to have sex only twice last year (both times with a Swedish banker called Fred), but seriously, she’s fine. Even if she’s still stuck at Posh! magazine writing about royal babies and the chances of finding a plus one to her best friend’s summer wedding are looking worryingly slim. But it’s a New Year, a new leaf and all that. Polly’s determined that over the next 365 days she’ll remember to shave her legs, drink less wine and generally get her s--t together.

A Funny, well written story about that type of girl we’ve all met or had in our lives, who overthinks, doesn’t think and sometimes can’t see the forest for the trees when it comes to men
