If Only

If Only Series, Book 1

By: A.J. Pine

Narrated by: Larke J. Henory

Sometimes it takes crossing an ocean to figure out where you belong.

It's been two years since twenty-year-old Jordan had a boyfriend—which means it's been forever since she, well, you know. But now she's off to spend her junior year in Aberdeen, Scotland, the perfect place to stop waiting for Mr. Right and just enjoy Mr. Right Now.

Sexy, sweet (and possible player) Griffin may be her perfect, no-strings-attached match. He's fun, gorgeous, and makes her laugh. So why can't she stop thinking about Noah, who, minutes after being trapped together outside the train's loo, kisses Jordan like she's never been kissed before? Never mind his impossible blue eyes, his weathered, annotated copy of The Great Gatsby (total English-major porn) . . . oh, and his girlfriend.

Jordan knows everything this year has an expiration date. Aberdeen is supposed to be about fun rather than waiting for life to happen. But E. M. Forster, Shakespeare, and mistletoe on Valentine's Day make her reconsider what love is and how far she's willing to go for the right guy.

Doesn’t hold any interest

The author attempts an intriguing triangular affair, but in the process gets lost in many characters and fails to bring it to a climax.

Good story

I did not care for the narration. The story itself was good, but not one of my favorites.

All the emotions

I didn’t love the narration on this but did love the story line. You feel all the emotions of the characters. Could stop listening

DNF - only made it to ch 3

written like a high school girl, very juvenile language. DNF, just couldn't connect w/characters

Repetitive

Not a fan of the narrator, though perhaps she was right for this book. Not a fan of books about literature and constant quoting, etc. However, the real issue was the story. It was just a repetitive series of the same thing over and over. No chemistry (maybe narrators fault). Usually a big fan of AJ Pine though so this was just a big miss.
