The Reset

By: Jasmine Dennison

Narrated by: Jessica Barden

A heart-warming story about starting all over again, for fans of Bridget Jones’ Diary, written by debut author Jasmine Dennison and narrated by Jessica Barden.

Sometimes you have to escape to be found.

Kate wasn’t expecting a proposal, but when Rob pushed the small velvet box across the table how could she not get her hopes up? Those hopes dashed by a pair of pearl earrings, Kate decides it’s time to hit reset on her life. This time next year, she’ll have the life, job, relationship of her dreams. But then Rob drops a bombshell: he wants to move to America, for work, and without Kate. Shattered and heart-broken, her mum’s “there’s still time, if you get a move on”, her best friend Sonia’s engagement news, and – best of all – her seven-year-old niece Ottilie’s thoughtful suggestion that “Auntie K could borrow Daddy to be the daddy for her baby” do not make her feel better…

Leaving the pieces of her old life behind, Kate retreats to her sister’s ramshackle farm, where handsome handyman Dan is a welcome distraction. But it soon becomes apparent that underneath the idyllic surface, not all is as it appears at the farm – and whilst Kate didn’t go there looking for a new beginning, she might not be the only one to find one…

The quirky moments that made me laugh

This was a great story - enjoyed every moment especially when it was suspenseful about what came next. Loved finding yourself and what makes you happy

The ease of the story.

This story was so heartwarming, as well as relatable to what generally happens in daily life and the search for companionship in all age groups. The story is encouraging for anyone who feels they have a unfortunate nap for failure. This shows that anyone can still have a great future.

The reset

I did enjoy this book however accent of the narrator a bit difficult for me to understand and I had to slow down the speed with which I listenedPeriod it seemed thatThe narratorHad aNasal tone which I found difficultTo listen to and to interpret.

Boring, predictable and hard to follow

Storyline was predictable, boring and the narrator did not have much fluctuating in her tone.

Super fun read!

Fun, light story, very Bridget-esque. Narrator had a slow, whispering style that suited the character. Good character development and many funny moments. I want my own Dan the Handy Fireman!
