A Novel Love Story
by Ashley Poston
Mini Audiobook Review: Thank you so much to Berkley Romance & Berkley for the free copy of the book & eARC!
Thank you so much to PRH Audio for the complimentary audio!
This book is out now.
It pains me so much to have given this book such a mid rating. I am not sure if it was because the bar was set so high after <i>The Seven Year Slip</i> which to me is a perfect book or perhaps I was just expecting something different from the premise. Something about this book just didn't work for me.
I absolutely love the concept and the idea of a book within a book was just so cool especially in a romance setting. But I don't know. I just didn't feel connected to any of the characters and the book wasn't super memorable. I did love how there was an area of town like a cemetary where the author's deleted files were.
I think I would have rooted for her and the MMC Anders more if we were not reminded of her ex so often. I felt like he was brought up a lot for then to her just to have feelings for this new guy.
I did my reading through audio and I thought the narrator Dorothy Dillingham Blue was fine. She had this Southern twang to her voice which helped make Elsy feel more real.
A lot of my book friends loved this one so it very well could be a wrong book at the wrong time situation. With that being said, I will continue to read whatever Ashley writes and I am looking forward to seeing what she does next!
