With a Twist

By: Georgia Beers

Narrated by: AJ Ferraro

Amelia Martini’s favorite things are traveling, animals, and peanut butter. When she left her job to explore the world with her wife, she didn’t expect Tammy’s plans to include leaving her. Now, Amelia is starting over again and facing middle age alone. It’s a struggle, but she doesn’t want to be bitter forever.

Thirty-something Kirby Dupree loves life. Not always easy when you’ve lost as much as she has and carry as much sadness as she does. But she made a promise to always look for beauty, so she does her best...even when she has to squint to see it.

When Kirby’s job as an interior painter brings her into Amelia’s life, they don’t exactly hit it off. Amelia finds Kirby irritatingly cheerful, and Kirby thinks Amelia’s far too serious. Forced to work together, they start to see beyond their first impressions and prove opposites really do attract. But are they brave enough to go after the love they really want?

Not a fan of the narration

I really enjoy reading Georgia Beers books, and this series is great…but the narrator grates on my nerves with her cartoonish voice. It’s just out of place for the content, imo. I much prefer Abby Craden and Lori Prince.

Struggled to finish

The story was decent enough. The narration was a little confusing for me. The voices of the main characters seemed reversed and mismatched. The narrator did a good job with the performance. I just didn't feel the choices of the voices.

My Favorite!!

I love how you incorporated all the real fears of getting older and feeling like you will never find love again..this was my favorite in the series because I could relate to all aspects of what you wrote. I am extremely sad you will not be writing more with these characters- this family is so special.

Characters who stay with you

I have loved Georgia Beers' writing since I read "Too Close To Touch" in 2006. I immediately read her two earlier books, also excellent. She is one of the authors whose characters and stories feel so real and alive that I reread and re-listen to her books. The Martini cousins are so entrancing that there is only one question. How long do I have to wait to re-listen to this series. Georgia, Thank you for helping me and my partner get through the pandemic's isolation with your enchanting, complex, heart warming people.

Coming of (a certain) age

An love story, an age gap story, and a wonderful, real story of maturing and learning to love and appreciate the new you. Thank you from a woman if a certain age.
