About this listen

A laugh-out-loud read from the Sunday Times bestselling author of If I Never Met You

Anna Alessi – history expert, possessor of a lot of hair and an occasionally filthy mouth – seeks nice man for intelligent conversation and Mills & Boon moments.

Despite the oddballs that keep turning up on her dates, Anna couldn’t be happier. As a 30-something with a job she loves, life has turned out better than she dared dream. However, things weren’t always this way, and her years spent as the ‘Italian Galleon’ of an East London comprehensive are ones she’d rather forget.

So when James Fraser – the architect of Anna’s final humiliation at school – walks back into her life, her world is turned upside down. But James seems a changed man. Polite. Mature. Funny, even. People can change, right? So why does Anna feel like she’s a fool to trust him?

Hilarious and poignant, Here’s Looking At You will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. The new must-listen novel from #1 bestseller Mhairi McFarlane.

Lovely, easy read with very good narration. Well worth a listen. I’m a sucker for second chances.

it's a cute story with some great lines. Sad that after main character loses weight all references to being overweight are a judgement on being 'enormous' or somehow lesser and disgusting

Worth listening to. funny and witty.

A wonderful bit of escapism. A delightful story brilliantly narrated. I thoroughly enjoyed Here’s Looking at You.

I struggled listening to this romance told in the third person. The narrator paused after each speaking part before saying Anna said, or James said, etc. I couldn't tell who was speaking sometimes as the voices weren't terribly different. Horrible accents. BUT I COULD'T STOP LISTENING AS THE STORY WAS SO ENJOYABLE. I'm so glad I stayed with it, I got used to the narration by the end, and enjoyed the romance.

The life affirmations are part of Mhairi's stories, and its good to hear myself, my voice, in her. I've always been THAT person from whom people sought advice, and then commented "you should write a book". I don't need to, I can share Mhairi's books for them to enjoy!

Perfect Read

So enjoyable - every aspect of it. I like especially the Mhairi McFarlane stories are always very funny, and don’t have gut wrenching ‘will they won’t they’ where you spend much of the story in terrible tension. The voice actor is excellent.

Funny and enjoyable

A very predictable story line. Found it hard to like to the main male character so was profoundly put off from the start. Definitely not Mhairi McFarlnes best.

Predictable

Extremely mundane story line. Cannot finishh this book. Still waiting for something to get exciting..

Not worth buying

3 stars due to the occasional LOL this book provides. I listened all the way to end the end in anticipation of this book’s redemption. It did not come.
I bought this right after finishing Mhairi McFarlane’s Don’t You Forget About Me- the best audiobook I have ever listened to!! So perhaps my expectations were set much too high.

Painfully uneventful
