Won’t play in order!

Love this story! But I’ve tried listening on Pandora and on Audible, and the episodes don’t play consecutively on either service. It is soooo frustrating! I like to listen while on a run or in the car. But you have to reload the podcast every five minutes. So annoying!! I’m finishing Coma Girl, but if the next podcast by Bond won’t play consecutively, I’m not going to listen.

Excellent!

I wake up every day excited to hear a new episode. I only wish that I could binge this, but that would defeat the concept.

addicting!

I'm so addicted to the story! I wouldn't think of starting my day without listening to this daily podcast. It's the highlight of my morning routine. The story is great. The characters range from pathetic to funny to sad. I highly recommend it.

A fun daily serial!

Coma Girl is Stephanie Bond's first daily serial which takes a book and breaks it into daily segments. it is a fun way to read a book! Marigold Kemp is in a car accident with her sister and Marigold ends up in a coma. She hears conversations between her family, doctors, nurses, and visitors. There is a cozy mystery, romance, and humor. This is a very enjoyable serial and the podcast is awesome with sound effects.

5 Stars (Narration and Story)

Funny and clever, considering the entire premise of the story. It kind of grabs you and continues to be compelling as Marigold hears the daily updates from conversations between others and those who talk directly to her. Those include doctors, family, a detective, and various friends who are all unaware or unsure if she can actually hear them. Marigold and the rotating cast of characters are fun and entertaining. There’s also a potential romance brewing. It’ll be interesting to see how that element plays out when considering the few different possibilities.

I’ve been interested in this serial for awhile, but finally started it when the author offered it in a daily podcast format. While I absolutely love the narrator’s performance, listening to 5 minutes (give or take) of the story every day isn’t my favorite way to consume a book. At the same time, since each podcast is one day in Marigold’s life while in a coma, it’s a convenient medium and an easy way to fit into my day. Broken down, though, the 6-part serial will take 6 months to finish. That feels a bit daunting in the respect that I might forget some of the beginning as it nears the end. I’m willing to continue this format for now as I struggle to find reading time in my day, but may switch to consuming it in one go at a later point.

Intriguing storyline and beautifully written

This is the second podcast I followed in Audible. I found the story to be very intriguing - it is hard to put it down once I begin listening to it during my daily walk. I think this podcast deserves more attention and good ratings. I am still in the first 30 episodes but so far so good. I like the author's writing style and how each character's own trait is in the details. The story begins with an accident but it is full of lighthearted humor. The performance of the audiobook is very nicely done as well. Thank you for an enjoyable book and audiobook.

Almost hits close to home, but more entertaining.

There are moments I'd swear her mom was based off my own. "If you're doing this to hurt me, you win!" The women are both in denial of their imperfections and tend to victimize themselfs when called out.

I'm new to listening to podcasts and found this on Audible. I've got to say that I'm hooked! It's like being a fly on the wall. I can't wait for the next episode...
