Smiles, laughs and a sweet romance!

Just finished this smile and laugh-inducing story and what a treat it was! I listen to a wide variety of audiobooks - many of the stories quite dark - and have found that following up with a book like this is a great re-set and mood enhancer. The story revolves around Kit - a cute, kind, quick-witted librarian (a/k/a/ lesbian catnip) who moves to the British island of Greengage, where she encounters lots of of quirky characters and an especially attractive woman named Laura - a local businesswoman beloved in the community. But Laura - though the ideal woman in Kit's mind - isn't free (or a lesbian, that she knows of) and Kit is determined push down her feelings as their friendship evolves. This is a very sweet, fun and satisfying slow burn romance that hits all the right spots. There are a good number of characters in this book and narrator Wendy Wolfson does an excellent job of bringing them all to life. I'm excited to know that there is a follow-up novella - Greengage Holiday Cheer - and another full length novel - Greengage Shelf - in this series. Not sure if Shelf will be released on audio, but I sure hope so. Regardless, I am ALL IN on this series and definitely plan to read more of Sterner-Radley's work. Give this one a listen - you'll be glad you did!

Interesting plot

I probably would not call this book a romantic comedy, I didn’t laugh once while listening to this book. Some of the plot was far fetched, but it was not bad.
I didn’t care for the narration, Wendy Wolfson read OK I usually love British narrators, but she was a bit too boring , or maybe bored?

Spontaneously funny!

You know when you are picking out a funny card and start laughing in the aisles? Everyone starts looking at you strange but you can’t stop laughing? That was me listening to this story! It was a wonderful combination of humor, romance and finding home. Highly recommend this! The narration though slow to start ended up capturing the mannerism and style of life on Greengage PERFECTLY! This is definitely a re-listen story!!

A Romantic Comedy

Kit Sorel moves to Greengage Island as the new librarian. She has always been a problem solver so it’s natural for her to help a new friend with her love life. She’s also missing her best friend who’s back in London. A funny romance full of quirky characters and noisy neighbors. Great narration.

Great cast of characters

This is a charming story about a island of people presser in their ways. Kit is an outsider from London and although they’re cautious of her she is accepted. She forms a friendship with Laura Greengages sweetheart. While trying to help Laura with her love life she falls for her. The story is sweet and funny. The narrator Wendy Wolfson gave Laura the sexiest voice it’s breathy and so lovely. I have the next two audiobooks and can’t wait to start them.

A very sweet and fun story

I enjoyed Kit and Laura's story. All the secondary characters were great! Feuds, fruit, farms, friend, failures and successes. So much fun!

What a lovely story!

This one is sweet, funny, and just a great listen. Wendy Woodson does a wonderful job with the narration and character voices. The story is funny and very enjoyable.

Quirky and cute.

This story was adorable. It was definitely humorous in it's own little. way. I fear that anyone who isn't from a small town, might not see the humor in it all. it was a good read.

Greengage Plots

This was a new to me author and narrator. I enjoyed all the characters and their quirks. It’s an easy, light hearted read. The narrator was easy to listen to and did a good job of bringing the story to life.

Give this author a listen!

I highly recommend this author and all of her books. If you are looking for a hilarious storyline and great characters, then this book is for you. You will need some tissue to dry your tears, when you start crying from laughing so hard. I liked the narrator she really brought the characters to life. This is a good rom com story, quirky villagers and likable characters. Can’t wait to get book 2.
