I English U

A Novel

By: J. R. Laurence

Narrated by: Emily Ellet

Her dating life’s a void, work barely pays the rent, and her hamster just wrecked her car.

Serena Young travels the world daily, teaching English online from her living room table. But when the laptop is off, her universe shrinks to her bare-bones apartment and a pair of pet rodents. Surely a better life exists somewhere on the other side of the webcam.

Then Alessandro, a scrumptious olive oil heir, signs up for online lessons, which soon extend into virtual walks under a southern Italian moon. Should Serena toss caution - and her life savings and possibly her job - to the wind and fly into his arms?

Not if a Prada-clad vineyard heiress, an annoying geek neighbor, and her oddball students around the world can help it, in this intercontinental romantic misadventure of extra virgin proportions.

Fun story with likable characters

I English U was a lot of fun to listen to, though it had a few scenes that were unrealistic to the point of silliness. While the protagonist does make some really dumb decisions, they're the sort a lot of young people caught up in the emotions of the moment would make, and she as well as her friends grow a lot during the course of the story.

We both really appreciated the way the story ended, and that while I suspected what would happen, neither of us came even close to guessing the specifics.

If you're looking for a light, brisk, fun romance with some tension and good character progression, this is a great option.

Adorable rom com!

I loved this book and highly recommend! I laughed out loud many times and I think everyone will enjoy it! The storyline was different and so fun and the narration was great!

The Narrator was great

The story was ok-ish, I just didn’t connect with any of it.

I powered through it because I think the narrator did a fabulous job transitioning from characters and her voice was enjoyable.

Emily Ellet narration 5 stars.
