Ratings and reviews

Ms. Terry, I couldn't get over your voice. I drive trucks, so trying to stay connected to this story with you on here sounding like A 6th period History Professor, and beating traffic, is NOT the move. I made it to Chapter 2.

Her voice.... I'm sorry. I couldn't finish the audiobook because her voice is so bland and annoying. Omg it drove me crazy. Maybe I'll just try the ebook. Because lord knows I can't listen to that voice for too long

This was one of my favorite books of all time. Since I am in my 40s, I can definitely relate to Dr. Georgia Young. However, even the 20 year olds in our book club could relate. I love that McMillan was the voice of the book, her sarcasm was spot on! Some of the the reviewers on this page thought her voice was monotonous and couldn't listen, but I thought just the opposite. Now I will say this,McMillan doesn't have the range for other characters so maybe she should hire for some of her other characters, but for Ms. Georgia, oh yeah, her voice was perfect! A+ Terry, you did it with this book!
