Until the Real Thing Comes Along

A Novel

By: Elizabeth Berg

Narrated by: Kate Rudd

Patty Murphy is facing that pivotal point in a woman's life when her biological clock ticks as insistently as a beating heart. Will she find Mr. Right and start a family? But Patty is in love - with a man who is not only attractive and financially sound, but sensitive and warmhearted. There's just one small problem: He is also gay.

Against her better judgment, and pleas from family and friends, Patty refuses to give up on Ethan. Every man she dates ultimately leaves her aching for the gentle comfort and intimacy she shares with him. But even as she throws eligible bachelors to the wayside to spend yet another platonic night with Ethan, Patty longs more and more for the consolation of loving and being loved. In the meantime she must content herself with waiting - until the real thing comes along...

Laugh out loud

The narrator is truly talented and is able to bring all of the emotion to these characters, funny and sad.
What fantastic dialogue and characters. A real triumph for Elizabeth Berg and a joy.
Not all books lend themselves well to audio, and I don’t often even write reviews, but this book was a joy!

Not my favorite Berg book.

I did not care for this narrator. Not my favorite Elizabeth Berg book. I have enjoyed all her others that I have read.
