A Girl Like You

By: Samantha Chase

Narrated by: Carly Robins

Sam Westbrook has always been the family hell-raiser, but as an adult he’s enjoyed not being under the constant watchful eye of his family. That was until his great-grandfather passed away.

Forced to move to the small coastal town of Magnolia Sound, Sam can’t escape the reputation that has followed him since his teenage years. But he’ll have to do it to get his inheritance. Shelby Abbott was always the good girl - it’s what happens when you’re the pastor’s daughter in a small town. Now, she’s ready to leave that image behind.

For years, she’s heard about wild Sam Westbrook, but she never thought she would be the one to catch his eye. And being the center of Sam’s attention isn’t something Shelby ever prepared for. Sam’s time in Magnolia Sound has an expiration date, and Shelby’s not sure she’s the kind of girl who can be just another one of his flings. But Sam’s ready to make some changes. And a girl like her is just who he needs.

A fun and easy listen

A heartwarming beach romance about overcoming personal insecurities, the power of love and the effect of hypocrisy. Good narration.

Oh the repetition

The H drove me absolutely insane with his continuous whining. The h is straight out of She's All that... Take off the glasses and she is unrecognizable. The storyline was cute but two things took it from 4 stars to 2 stars.

1. The H was overly whiney and very selfish; and
2. The issues with her parents were not resolved.

Meh

So I just didn’t enjoy all the wha wha wha, “Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I’m not worthy of love” angstsy grief. It was just too much without a balance of reasonable reflection against the self sabotage. It didn’t help that Carly Robins, while she has a great voice and a great male voice, tends to do a dramatic performance. It was overplayed.
