An Awfully Big Adventure

An Awfully Big Adventure Duet, Book 1

By: Shawna Woodland

Narrated by: Ashlynne Carey

"Always chase after the dreams that make you feel like you could fly."

Dreams came to Molly on glittering wings, between fairytale stories and the wonders of her imagination. But as she grew up, those dream-filled days were slowly forgotten.

At age eighteen, in Edwardian England, Molly fears she has grown dull. Now, what feels like a perilous decision weighs heavily on her shoulders. With only a small window of time to sort out her future, Molly turns to her past. Coming to terms with the fact that she grew up too fast for her own good, she decides its time to become the person her younger self had always dreamt of being.

Its not easy, especially around Desmond and his clumsy smile that feels like an adventure all of its own. And when Molly discovers that her sister, Victoria, has been pulling strings behind everyone's back, it isn't long before she is hooked into schemes involving George, a gentleman whose mysterious past is filled with limitless stories.

Lurking beneath it all are family secrets. Ones powerful enough to draw everyone together—or dreadful enough to tear them apart completely.

Enchanting story with Peter Pan vibes

I read this book after seeing it on my Instagram. It sounded so lighthearted and inviting and it did not disappoint. I was so excited to see it in Audio version and had to listen.

The narrator portrayed the character sweetly. However there are some recording errors in the prologue and a few words were mispronounced (at least to my understanding)

I just purchased the second book and look forward to seeing what happens with Molly and who she ends up with. I ship George, they just seem a better match for each other. 💕 I also love all the Peter Pan references and it has a very charming quality to the story.

There is 0 spice and 0 bad words(to my recollection),- just sweet budding romance - but I also appreciate the trigger warnings from the author.
