Up on the Roof

Excellent Narration

Really enjoyed listening to Justine Eyre's narration. As far as the story, the character Lena was hard to like. She had too many idiosyncrasies. No one in the real world exists with the patience of Meghan.

the narrative is perfect the book not so much

the book is slow and full of romance but Lena is a pain in my ***, my God !! Lena is so infant that makes you gos crazy.

The Courage to Change & Grow

This is a slow burn romance that epitomizes what is required of all relationships- individual growth. Some say people are attracted to one another BECAUSE our own “opportunities for growth” match up with another person. In beautiful and rare moments, there are people who stop blaming and take responsibility; who stop running and stay; who set their egos and self-focus aside and fight for what they really want- being their better self and having real a real romantic relationship with someone. What does that take? Listen to the book to find out. 😉

Not the Best...

the narration was very good. I'm trying to think of something else positive to say about Up on the Roof. The story was slow, and one of the main women started to make me lose interest in them actually getting together. Lena had some issues, which is fine, but when she continued to run away from Megan, I was thinking I would be ready to give up on her if I was Megan. It wasn't the worst audiobook, but, it was disappointing.

True to life. And fun.

I loved how Lina and Megan were so very human, with all the attending foibles that go with humanity. They are very realistic chatacters, I think I’d recognize them if I saw them out and about.
