Pleasant surpro

Would you consider the audio edition of Second Kiss to be better than the print version?

Honestly I didn't read the printed version. The narrator did a fantastic job. She has a great voice, and really got into the story. I'm pretty picky about the narrator, I've stopped quite a few books because the narrator wasn't doing a good job.

What other book might you compare Second Kiss to and why?

None. This was my first f/f book.

What does Ramona Master bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She really gets into character. She did a great job at changing voices. She didn't read to fast or slow. She was perfect for the book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Molly and daisy see each other for the first time in 8 years. The feels 😍😍

Any additional comments?

This was my first f/f novella, and I'm glad it was because I loved it. Molly and daisy use to be best friends. Molly moved away, and was never heard from again. 8 yrs later she returns and finds daisy. Second kiss is a sweet book. Lots of feels. The steamy parts were very well written. I can't wait to read more by this author.

Best friends

This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com.

I'm not a fan of profanity, so that's really my only issue with the book. I love how the focus on their relationship is based on their friendship as kids. Instead of just focusing on sex, they build a blanket fort, have ticket fights, and play on the swing sets. I liked the supportive mom as opposed to the upset-mom, and the story has a happy ending. The story is told in first person, and I think the narrator was a fantastic fit for the main character. She conveys the emotions of distaste, worry, and excitement very well. She uses a completely different set of mannerisms for mom, which fit the mom figure very well. I wasn't a big fan of molly's voice. if you pay attention, she does speak differently so you can tell them apart, but the pitch isn't significantly different so it can be a little bit difficult.

cute short novella

I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher, and/or narrator.

Second Kiss is a very cute romance about two best friends who rekindle their friendship after haven't seeing each other in years. Through their years apart they both discovered they are lesbians. When Molly walks into Daisy's job she's doesn't know how to feel. Daisy was definitely hurt when she left, but she also realizes how she felt for Molly all those years ago.

I liked that Daisy and Molly always had feelings for one another, but didn't know what it meant when they were kids. They share their experiences of coming out to their families and the events that led to them discovering they were lesbians.

I think I definitely liked the narrator, Ramona Masters better listening to this book. There always seems to be drawl when she narrates making it appear that the character has an accent. It does not take away from the story though.

Second Kiss - short and sweet

Would you consider the audio edition of Second Kiss to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version, but the audio version was enjoyable.

Which character – as performed by Ramona Master – was your favorite?

The narrator did a great job of making me believe she was Daisy. I felt like Daisy was really talking to me.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

BFF's and more!

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this short audiobook. I did wish that Molly's voice didn't always sound sexy, even in regular conversation, but Daisy's voice more than made up for that. The story was cute and sexy. I would read more from this author, and I would listen to this narrator again. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

Predictable

Any additional comments?

This book was very stereotyped. With that said, I liked it. It left a little to be desired in the romance department. It was mostly about two old friends rekindling after growing up and becoming lesbians (something neither of them new).

I was given this book for free for a honest review.

good story, annoying narrator

The story might have been good but the narrator's choice for voices was so annoying

very cute

cute new adult romance. I liked that despite how short it is, it addresses pansexuality (pan here) as well as other queer identities. plus great love scenes or references to sapphic bedroom details ;-p

I think while the story is good, its so culturally specific to white queer culture, that as a Black-Latinx queer person, I have a completely different queer culture. I wont say I dont connect to it, its just not my queer experience.

I kinda laughed at the tegan and sara references, the references to european features being exhaulted (one girl has brown eyes, one has blue. the brown eyes were considered average, while blue eyes was constantly desired) because it kepr reminding me it was more for white queer women.

But I know there's so few f/f books with audiobook and new adult, that it waz still awesome, I can just tell I'm not who its specifically written for.

wish the others in series had audiobooks, I'm hooked!

More please

Enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Nicely paced and interesting story though a little predictable. Wish the characters would've been a little more fleshed out but what we got was good. Could've been longer for sure.

Sweet and short

This is a novella about former best friends who meet each other years later. Daisy is single and not very happy with her life when Molly walks back into her life in the bakery cafe where Daisy works as a baker. While Daisy remembers the teenage kiss they had while playing Spin the Bottle, she is ambivalent about seeing Molly again. Fortunately, Molly has the strength to reach out.

This novella deals with overcoming past hurts and accepting love. It was very saccharine and cute, but had some sexy scenes, too. The narrator has such a youthful voice that worked really well for these two young women.

Great Short Story!

Overall, I enjoyed this book. The narrator was good and the story was pleasant. I like the way the author tackled and conveyed difficult aspects within the LGBTQ community throughout the book. Ultimately, a great read!
