Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

Glad it was included in my membership
The story was fine; I've heard MUCH worse and MUCH better.
The narration was pretty incredible for being AI, but it wasn't great. I would have enjoyed this book so much more if they had used a competent voice actor. At least I didn't have to pay anything extra.

Have heard better, and worse
This story may have been saved by a human narrator that would be able to provide correct voice intonation when needed.
Not bad for a time filler to listen to as background while doing something you need to concentrate on, but I’d suggest music instead.

Virtual voice actually good
So I liked the story, but was most surprised by the virtual voice. It actually sounds great! And almost forgot it wasn’t a real person for most of it. Only when there were scenes with multiple ppl did it get a little weird as the voice doesn’t change for different speakers so they all sound similar, but surprisingly found it amazing that the voice could get intonations and exclamations pretty accurate. The story was good although I was frustrated with Lizzy sometimes, but mostly enjoyed the whole thing.

Enjoyable Read
However, aside from the few swimming hole scenes, it was pretty much just the same Pride and Prejudice story, though very condensed, leaving many characters out (but not really adding any new ones, or any plot twists, either). The language was slightly more modern (I can't imagine dear Jane ever using such a words and phrases as "smoldering," and "you have bewitched me, body and soul" (which I believe was lifted straight from the 2005 version of the movie). All in all, it was a pleasant way to spend 3 hours, but I've read far better variations. Many of them.
