— RT Book Reviews (4 stars)" I enjoued reading this lighy, fun but still emotional strory years back so decided to give audio a go. think the male and female leads are a good, entertaining match and emotions ring true. felt it was let down by narrator who over played Maddie, moving into slightly farcical territory, and often gave the wrong intonation for Jax in the context. unfortunate. she did the other female characters well, the men poorly. will avoid her in the future. not awful, just annoying.

— Stephanie, 9/23/2011" not the best by JS but it was decent "
