Slow start.......

Slow start and I nearly gave us a few times but it got better the more it went on. The narrator was really good and lifted the audio, her accents (especially Penny and Anna were excellent)! Free plus catalogue so what's not to like ?

Too imperfect souls

The story of two MC’s both with their own personal issue see each other and what they need. A great live story

A moving story. Engaging MC's trying to find their way through differing difficulties in their lives. All's well in the end.
Super narration bringing all the characters to life and giving them quite distinct voices.
Loved it.

Beautiful

I was hooked from start to finish! The characters are so likeable and the story takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Beautiful from start to finish.

Characters

The narrator's voice was a let down. Never read anything by this author definitely would read more.

Excellent

I don’t often give five stars to a book or leave a review, but I felt this was necessary in the case of “Finding Jessica Lambert”.

I loved the well-rounded, likeable, but flawed characters (Penny a particular favourite), which were brought to life fantastically by the narration. I’ve listened to a few books read by Gabrielle Baker and this is the first time I have been truly wowed by her performance and lost in the characters and the story, thanks to the great material Clare Ashton has written.

All in all, an excellent listen and I will look out for more audiobooks written by Clare Ashton in the future.

Layered and fabulous

Although this book follows the same formula as all romance novels it somehow manages to go deeper. We are taken on a journey with characters who are trying to cope with life and find someone to help with that. It’s such a beautiful story and I highly recommend it.

A gorgeous book

I was already in love with this book but so happy the narration could do it justice. Jess & Anna’s story told beautifully by Gabrielle Baker. Looking forward to more hopefully.

Exceptional Story, Solid Narrator

I absolutely adored the wirrten copy of this book & was excited to see what the audiobook had in store for me. Overall, I loved it. I think the narrator did a great job at portraying the storyline. However, I feel like some of the accents & character voices could have been better, as they didn't seem distinctive enough.

The storyline is sublime though, the characters feel like real, complex, 3-Dimensional people, the descriptive imagery is exceptional, the humour is infectious and threaded perfectly throughout the story to balance the drama of the overall themes, and the romance between the two protagonists is one of the most honest, heartwarming and healthy loves I've seen portrayed in any romance novel.

Although, this book is about two people who live in a world and industry not many people get to experience first hand. The overall themes of this book are so poignant and universal that it doesn't matter if you've never stepped foot on a stage or had your picture taken in your entire life. Personally, I found myself connecting to the characters and their feelings so deeply, as if they were my own, regardless of the differences between us. That is a true testament to Clare Ashton's talent as an author, she made me feel what they felt. So much so, I laughed, cried, my heart pounded against my chest (for a variety of reasons) and every kind of emotion took my breath away on multiple occasions.

I adored getting to know Anna and Jess, and following their epic love story and I know for a fact I will return to visit them many more times to come in the future. In short, this book is absolutely phenomenal and everyone should read it!
