I enjoyed this variation. The writing flowed nicely. The narrators mispronounced words pulled me out if the story quite a bit however I still felt invested in the storyline.

Story
I'll just admit it right up front - I don't love the holidays. In fact, Christmas makes me downright cranky. Call me the Grinch if you must, but if your dad chose that day to decide he was wrong about that whole wanting a family thing, you'd grow up miffed about mistletoe, too. Every candy cane, ugly sweater, and falalalala reminds me of the worst day of my life. So when my uncle - a bigwig network executive - gives me one last shot to salvage my disastrous TV production career, I've got no choice but to suck it up, head to the small town of Singletree, and fake festive.

Nice story. Male narrator was great. Female narrator was too slow and whispery. I had to speed up the chapters she narrated. It was annoying to have to do that so some were skipped completely.

The course of true love never did run smooth.... When Fitzwilliam Darcy departs Hunsford after his disastrous proposal to Elizabeth Bennet, he does not expect their paths to cross again. Indeed, knowing the lady's true feelings for him, he makes every effort to see that they do not.

One of my favourite variations

I very much enjoyed this variation. The characters were great. I liked that there wasn’t angst just for the sake of it. There were some lough out loud moments and I found myself smiling throughout.
Thoroughly enjoyable and I hope Ms Altman writes more in this genre. A great storyteller.
Narration by Ms Zimmerman was perfect as usual.

Twists and turns
Reviewed: 19-06-2020
I listened to the audiobook. The story kept me engaged. I didn’t feel the chemistry between these two characters for a while. The narrator performed the dialogue really well however the third person parts were quite monotone and fast with sentences sounding like they ran together.

Wow, great twist. Narrators were ok. I had trouble differentiating between secondary characters as there was very little voice change. It got a bit confusing as to who was speaking at times. I liked the tone of the voices but the male narrator could have been more emotive.

Reviewed: 19-09-2019
I have enjoyed a few other books from this author however Cinderella Undone was below par. The main character was not likeable at all. The female narrator was fine with the female character but I had trouble distinguishing between characters as her male voice was not noticeably different. This made it difficult to follow at times. The male narrator read so slowly that I had to increase the speed to get through his chapters. He was so completely overdramatic that it was laughable to the point of ridiculousness.
Skip this listen and choose another of Ms Snow’s books.

Story
As the premier best-man-for hire in all of Manhattan, I promise discretion, so when I need a plus one for a couple of "I dos", I turn to my gorgeous, clever, witty best friend’s sister. She’s my good friend, too, and I lust after her completely. I mean, I trust her completely. After all, just look how she’s kept her lips sealed about the hot, multi-O night we spent together. Yes, just look at those sexy lips. In any case, we only fell off the wagon once, and it was months ago. I’m sure we can make it through these weddings without banging each other in the limo. Or can we?

Fantastic radio show. All narrators were perfect. I found the story was a little blah though. To me, it felt like the story was fashioned around squeezing in lots of characters for the audio. Maybe start off with a great story first, then create the audio party.
Enjoyable listen, if only for the cast of favourite narrators.

Dear Mr. Brisken: How do I hate you? Let me count the ways. I hate your smug, sexy millionaire face. I hate your cocky, skirt-chasing, playboy ways. I hate working as your secretary - but, I love the pay. It almost makes dealing with you worth it. I hate how my friends call you a BILF, when really BILK (Boss I'd Like to Kill) is more appropriate. I hate that I need you to be my date for my best friend's wedding because my ex-boyfriend, the King of Heartbreakers, and his new busty blonde girlfriend will be in attendance.
