[FULL ] JUST ONE WORD | Contemporary Romance | AUDIOBOOK by Melanie Jacobson

[@MinderellaK]

I never realized there was even a difference between literary and genre fiction. Now I know! I enjoyed the conversations as they seem like they could be based on a real life experience.

Liked the story! Thanks.

Thankyou so much for sharing this story!! I was hooked at the start by the hilarious line about publishing a tissue 😂 But then I found it really inspiring for my own life, at various points in the book, possibly life-changing! Also. Spoiler Alert. I want a sequel 😃😃😃 I could see it including * Protecting the mum from the sleazy professor guy. Maybe also publicly exposing his sleaziness in a sassy move on his show? * Emma building a new relationship with her mum with healthy boundaries * A cute side story about emma and aiden becoming friends the author of that book they loved from the conference, and that author getting some well deserved recognition. * Aiden and emma create some real world change in the legal/justice system through their books. But it's not exactly what they expected to achieve as they learnt new perspectives about justice from Jamal during those workshops with the youth. (The flavour I'm thinking of is like the program where prisoners can adopt cats based on good behavior and it changes prison life for the better.) * And of course some more romantic kisses! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Would you consider it???

"Or had he just made a slight, 'Your mamma' joke." LOL Dang! I am really liking the way this author writes! Oh my gosh! I am loving (spoiler) the exchange between Emerson and Aden at the coffee shop (at 42:30)... Oh my gosh - too too funny! (5:22:00) wow, I don't know if this part (Spoiler) where Emma is hurt by that creepy critic because he was using her to get to her mother... I don't know if this part was supposed to be so emotionally piercing - but dang, my heart's aching and I'm tearing up. It breaks my heart for sweet little Emma. Aww man! Only five minutes left! I don't want it to end! This was such a sweet, thoughtful, tender little story. I loved the epilogue, sigh... It was cute and happy and everything a book should be! I loved the entire book. Really worth the listen.

I really enjoyed this novel. Don't take this the wrong way because I love them, but this would make a amazing Hallmark movie. Enemies to lovers, with a perfect happy ending.

[@wrenwoodland5975]

I’ve never read this before. Super fun look between highbrow literature and reading people enjoy. Well done

[@a.rawlinson9010]

Loved this story-very funny and sweet

[@radwael-sherif1907]

I love the story and the and the feeling it left me with it's really different from what i usually read I love the way they interact with each other

[@annshoemake3007]

Listening at a higher speed 1.25 helps with the voice.

[@celestelay]

I lived on Whidbey island for 15 years. Makes me happy it’s set on Whidbey ❤

[@MelanieJacobsonAuthor]

I've been lucky enough to say with friends on the island a few times, and it's so peaceful for my anxious little soul.

[@jeansisson6305]

I can't tell you how much , I enjoyed this book I live in , Seattle and love the places you include for the readers., Also thanks for giving us an insight about how really hard it is to write I always wanted to but life got in the way!! Thanks again

[@MelanieJacobsonAuthor]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I've stayed on Whidbey Island many times and loved it every time!

[@jimandlissapaxton5433]

Just heard a second book of yours! You are an incredible author! How much research goes into your work? I will be on the lookout for your book. Your narrator is also excellent!

[@lauramooney380]

One of my faves!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@opalmorton5127]

You are so welcome!

[@lynettehall7388]

Thank you!!

[@ginadoyle4089]

Can’t take the voice

[@MelanieJacobsonAuthor]

Aw, that's hard! I don't vibe with every voice either, BUT, if you try listening at 1.25 speed or 1.5 speed, I think you'll find you enjoy it. Not trying to talk you into anything! Just a discovery I made for myself. And I think by next week, I'll have another book up by a different narrator you can try!

[@lazziebardakos2956]

The voice isn't terrible, but sure it might not be what you're used to. Certainly wouldn't justify not sticking with it because of the voice.

[@mare2723]

@@MelanieJacobsonAuthorPlease get a different narrator there’s no way to listen to this person

[@lungembolism]

@@MelanieJacobsonAuthor tried, 1.5 worked best

[@monty-365]

So much better than AI !

[@nomikopp387]

I really enjoy light-hearted romance, but pass when the reader has a high pitched voice - as in this case...too hard on my ears.

[@serendipity1237]

Not at all a fan of the narrator (sorry!) but that wasn't enough to keep me from thoroughly enjoying this unique story.

[@sighanblossom5721]

Narrator's voice too loud for my liking. Bye.

[@user-bq7lq5iw9b]

Turn your volume down

[@chrism9294]

I couldn’t make it an hour because the guy was the most annoying adult I’ve ever heard of.

[@sreelalithan]

Narrator's voice, and heroine's personality - didn't like both 😢

[@cathygould]

The narrator was a bit off-putting, but she sounds like a KZbinr who tells histories of poisonous paints, and she's really interesting. The contrast of the two writers, and their backgrounds, is done really well! I can identify with the girl's feelings and experiences though my experiences are different. I'm very glad I listened to the end, there's a lot to learn even for an old gal ~ 73~ like me❣️🤟🏽🫶🏽👏🏽👍🏽
