About this listen

Escape to the Gulf Coast of Florida with Georgia Carpenter as she gets a second chance at life, love, and happiness.

In the middle of an awful divorce, 53-year-old Georgia Carpenter finds herself out of luck, time, and money. Then her phone rings with the news that her great aunt has died and left her a cottage in the Gulf Coast town of Blackbird Beach.

Georgia has no idea what awaits her on the other coast of Florida. All she knows is that she has nowhere else to go. And no reason to stay where she is.

Fortunately for her, life has far more interesting plans than she ever could have realized. Including making the acquaintance of a handsome handyman and getting the chance at a brand-new start.

It’s ok for something included

Story wise, it fells like a Hallmarks-ish series. It is slow going and there are a lot of descriptions, but it doesn’t shock me, especially since it seems to be created for Audible. Lots of descriptions so we can really visualize every moment and movement.

As for narration, the women have robot-like voices from time to time. Not the worst I’ve heard, but not great either.

I’ll still be listening to the second book

Great story

The story is great. LOVE the mother- daughter relationship.
However, in not sure if I like how Georgia is made to sound so ignorant. She's only 53. 😅

One long story in eight parts

While each book in the series can be listened too and enjoyed separately, it is more like one long book in eight parts. They should definitely be listened too in order for best enjoyment.

Narrator takes some getting used to

Great fluffy story. The narrator sounds like Siri. I almost stopped listening because of it, but you get used to it. I’m going listen to the whole series

Mindless Listening

Don’t bother listening to this story unless you plan on listening to them all as they all stop in the most random spots. This series was perfect for listening as I spent hours packing my house for a move. The story is cute and predictable. The narration borders on awful - it would be better listening with only one narrator.
