Should of been read solely by the female narrator

I struggled with even finishing this book because the male voice as any of the women ( Amanda, Lucy etc.) was more annoying than nails on a chalkboard. I'm not sure how we we are supposed to believe that Amanda as a female ( a sexy confident valley girl) the same as the Amanda in the stupid male voice ( a whispering stocatto type ) couldn't be more different. This caused me to be unable to engage in the overall story . Don't even get me started on the strange accent he used to sp

Also, in the first book it clearly explains why Jake is the only one in his family that has an Australian accent but in this book his whole family suddenly has one? Are we supposed to be idiots?

Not what I expected...

After the first book I had high expectations for this one but I was a bit disappointed. The back and forth between past and present in the beginning was confusing to me. And I know this is petty but the first book said Jake's family didn't have an accent yet in this book they did.

Amazing book in print & audio

I have read this book no less than 4 times and now hearing the audio, I'm they much more in love. Jay McLean has this amazing gift of adding the perfect amount of everything into her books. It's funny, it's sad, it's joyful, it's inspiring, it's sexy, it's torture but most of all, it's perfect.

Charles and Tatiana did a great job narrating and putting voices to these characters that I love. Worth the credit or the money, hands down.

More of a Good Thing

Humorous, joyful, sad, inspiring... the story is all these things and more. Much of it is McLean's signature angst, there's ultimately perfection.

There were moments when characters without a previous accent suddenly developed one in this book. The male narrative wasn't without mistakes. Loved the female narrator.

If I could I'd choke the leading guy in this book!

I understand Logan's reasoning, but he should talk too Amanda before making snap decisions. That's all I'm saying!

sad ending, good book

I enjoyed the story but was really disappointed with the ending of this book. expected a better ending.

great story, but read it.

I love Jay McLean! I love this series, but the male narrator is so painful to listen to he ruins my favorite character in the series. Great story, just skip the audio version.

Could have been good but...

Ok, first off the guy who reads the male POV is ok, but his voice when he's saying any women's lines is so bad. He made them all sound 12 years old. The women did a much better job and I wish she would have read the entire book, even Logan's chapters. Now with the story. I sorta felt the same with the first book but though it might be better with the second in the series. What is with all the jealousy? If one guy talks to or looks at Amanda (the main female) Logan (the main character) gets all butt hurt and they are automatically assholes. Amanda's character isn't much better in that sense. Its just annoying. While I think the story had potential, the possessiveness of the two characters was just a turn off.

Great book only one part bothered me

This book being the second in this series was just as good as the first one! I loved the story line but there’s one part that bothered me. The part where jakes family come in, they all have Australian accents. Which is incorrect. While Jake is supposed to have the accent, the rest of his family isn’t supposed to have one. This was a subject that was throughly explained in the first book so the fact that the people reading this one didn’t acknowledge that really bothered me for some reason.

Did the actors read the previous book?

My only complaint is that the actors and director didn’t catch the fact that in the first book, Jake was the only one in his family with an Australian accent. They portrayed his mother, father, and sister with accents, yet, they didn’t have one in the first book. That’s my only complaint.

This book is really good. I was kinda thrown off a little with the back and forth between present and past but I caught on quickly. I can’t wait to listen to the other books!

I do wish there was a better description of what each book is about though. I want a general idea of what I am about to read.
