And Virginia Rose was amazing!! She seamlessly navigated multiple roles and I especially loved (and snort-laughed) through her interpretation of the different puppets. But then, on a dime, he switched to a feminine voice and it was believable and smooth. And my goodness, Wen Ross with his low but smooth voice was perfect for Ares. I was so happy to revisit this book via the audiobook. But also, I teared up a lot because underlying all these laughs were two people who were a bit misunderstood and I adored how they were opposites but yet, each other's biggest champions. It was hilariously odd, with Felicity and her hand puppets, the non-speaking Ares, Felicity's trouble seeking brother, Loki the monkey, and then a fabulously fun but wacky supporting cast (many of which now have their own books). I read this book a while ago and loved it. then yes I’m sure you too will find this Rom Com a compelling creditworthy listen. Worth a credit? Well, if you’re looking for something different, something that has humor, heart and heat, something that has a wide variety of living and fictional secondary characters and something that’s touching, sweet and unique. but Virginia Rose’s well-timed multiple personality narration of Felicity and her ‘on board’ characters was pure Audible gold and I’m sure there aren’t many actors out there who could constantly and creatively perform such an intense wide variety of characters. but, in the talented hands of Ms Grant, this well-written well-paced dual POV romance didn’t quite play out that way.

so it should’ve been plain sailing for this match made in Heaven right?. and he sees and accepts her quirks and vocal personalities too. Because Felicity sees beyond his damaged cold facade. and especially, as it turns out, the budding romance between Felicity and the withdrawn, misunderstood beefcake giant of a skater called Ares Berger who grunts, mumbles and awkwardly stumbles his way through conversations. So, this mild mannered tale is centered around Thrusters. But Felicity loves loves loves all things related to Thrusters Hockey and, with a brother already on the team, she hopes to someday work there too. Felicity has made bad choices in men and she’s all over the place when it comes to her career which she often derails and starts again. which is unique, refreshing and riotously fun. Pippa Grant has written a hilarious yet moving Rom Com with heart about Felicity, a talented quirky genius ventriloquist whose multiple mental puppet personalities (and inanimate objects) are always ready and eager to chirp in with their own particular views on things.
