Disappointed!

I read the first book in this series and decided to get the audiobook for the second one. I regret that.

I have no idea if I would have enjoyed this book if I had read it myself, but listening to this was a constant grating on my nerves. She was terrible at knowing what words to emphasize. And throughout the entire book she sounded like she was doing a completely fake always happy voice. I couldn’t wait for it to be over.

Yes Yes Yes 😍

Okay so I just finished The Tourist Attraction and saw that she had another book set in the same world so I HAD to read it. Let me tell you...it does NOT disappoint! Ugh I want to go to Alaska so bad now 😂 I love the storyline and that the characters have real reactions and personalities. I seriously hope she continues to tell the stories of other people in Moose Springs. I at least need one about Diego and Quinn...and everyone else lol

Ehhhh

I’m not sure if I really liked this story. Or was painful to get through. I didn’t enjoy the narration at all. It was cute 🤷🏼‍♀️

Christmas at Moose Springs

I enjoyed returning to Moose Springs with Lana and Rick’s story. This book was a good break from daily life, taking me to a small Alaskan town with quirky characters, cool pets, and great scenery. It made me smile and helped me relax.
The audible version enhanced the reading experience.

Fun holiday read

This was a fun holiday read filled with an eclectic cast of characters appropriate for Alaska. It would be fun to be made into a movie.

So awful, what a disappointment!

An epic fail as follow up to The Tourist Attraction. I absolutely loved everything about that story! In this book, I didn't find the chemistry or relationship between Lana and Rick very convincing. It felt forced and not natural. Rick is too much of a sad sack and I didn't buy Lana's poor little lonely rich girl routine. The story just got worse as it went on. The romantic scenes were cringeworthy.

The narration was not great. It is the same narrator as the first book, but something is off in the delivery this time. There are odd mid sentence pauses and emphasis is often placed on the wrong words. It was awkward and stilted and negatively impacted my enjoyment of the story. I tried speeding up and slowing down narration speed, but it didn't help.

Laugh Out Loud Perfection

This was cute and lovely and wonderful. I loved the Tourist Attraction and instantly read this right after. It did not disappoint.
