Not a fan of virtual voice

I couldn’t listen to this. It’s the first time I’ve tried to listen to a virtual voice book. I couldn’t do it. The inflection was wrong. Some of the words were mispronounced and I missed the way a voice actor changes the voices to show different characters. This is important to me since I’m listening, not reading.
I skipped to the end to find out the resolution. I won’t listen to another virtual voice.

Horrible narration

Good story but the AI narration took away from it. It was stiff and awkward places

Tenacity of the main character

Admire the story focus on characters growth. There wss a mix of self depreciating immature 'practical' choices that life experiences taught characters were the best options available. And then evolution of developmenting appreciation of positive self worth.

I’m never happy about virtual voice!

Ugh the virtual voice basically ruins a book for me although the story line was decent but I wasn’t in the mood for the smut. Not my cup of tea today. 😿

Narration was the pits

This was a very cute Hokiday Rom-Com. But definitely lost some affect with the monotone AI narration.

Yuletide CO

Cherry was in for a shock when she made it to Yuletide CO to get her ex back. RJ or a James as he is currently known in town has a new girlfriends. Unknown to either RJ or Alice the currently girlfriend Cherry the old girlfriends wants him back and had recruited a local to help her. Unknown to her the local Xavier happens to be tall dewy clean too young Alice’s brother. Things are just rom com holiday fine to the end.

There are some good characters here: Peach, Blu, Frankie, Murphy and pair of moms and a ex service mom loving dad and a town of others. This was fun and holiday oriented. The virtual vice provide a bit more than a text to speech experience.

Toxic FMC with Bad narration

Unfortunately I have to agree about the narration. I'm not apposed to someday there being good AI narration but today wasn't that day. Though there is some inflection the sound is still robotic. The storyline seems doomed from the beginning... a woman hung up on a man for 2 years after he broke up, cut all ties and correspondence and moved away to a secret location 😳 can ypu say staker. She lies and manipulates and bases real-life on the template of a romance novel? Gotta want the FMC to seek professional help. The problem is that I couldn't get to that point in the book because of the narration. maybe I can pick up the k7ndlw version at a later date.

Good story, but I wish there was an actual narrator.

I really enjoyed the story, but the virtual narrator was very hard to listen. The names weren't even pronounced consistently and at times it was difficult to understand/remember who's POV it was. Overall I liked it but I will definitely avoid virtual voice narration again!

Okay Story

The virtual voice narration made it difficult to tell which character. The entire performance was monotone.

Good story but the computer narration was hard to overcome

Characters were decent. It was a good choice for the membership inclusion Audible library. They need to move away from the computer narration.
