The Cupid Effect

By: Dorothy Koomson

Narrated by: Liyah Summers, Dorothy Koomson

A funny, feel-good listen about Ceri D'Altroy, a woman who has an extraordinary talent for matchmaking, with occasionally outrageous consequences...

After departing London to follow her heart's desire to become a psychology lecturer, Ceri D'Altroy vows to leave her matchmaking ways behind her for good. Unfortunately, all she seems to do is inspire the new people she meets to change their lives.

There's Ed, who's decided to declare his love to a woman who is way out of his league; Mel and Claudine, two long-term friends who are now tempted to start an illicit affair; and Gwen, the chain-smoking head of department who has a deep, dark secret she only wants to share with her new employee.

No one who comes into contact with Ceri is ever the same again. Could this unsuspecting woman be a modern-day Cupid?

I had moments…

I had moments of feeling this hit a little too close to home but I did enjoy the story when I wasn’t angry at our lead for being so “accommodating”! The performance was spot on!

Amazing Narrator

Liyah Summers is an amazing narrator. I bought this audiobook after listening to Priory of the Orange Tree. I could listen to her read anything! She really performs the words, rather than just read them. I enjoy the distinct voices she gives characters and the life that she gives all the text.
The book itself was not what I expected, but I enjoyed Liyah Summers' performance of it, and the author's note at the end commemorating this 20-year anniversary of her first book gave me a new appreciation for it.
