Summary

Shannon Brycen believes she is the epitome of pitifully ugly. Kalen, Shannon's overly social sister, is determined to play matchmaker and find a special someone for her sister. After a disastrous date with one of Kalen's recent selections, Shannon decides to take her love life back into her own hands by joining the local lesbian cyber matchmaker.

Mid 30s, still single, housebroken but rabid. If you're looking for something different, then I'm your girl. Write me if you dare.... P. U. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to build her profile after consuming half a bottle of her favorite wine...or to use a picture of herself at the age of six - after she had cut her own hair - as her online profile photograph.

Hiding behind the online persona of Pitifully Ugly, Shannon finds the courage to meet new women and face the disaster called dating. As her charming personality surfaces, Shannon's search for the perfect match may be closer than she realizes.

Hilarious love story

This book was hilarious from start to finish; I laughed that much I couldn’t catch my breath. I have listened to another book from this author and I got to say she knows how to tell a story with so much humour, and so far both the books I have read have been romantic love stories that make you like the characters and you are actually rooting for them to have a happy ending. And the humour is an added extra which I love.

Lori is an excellent narrator, I have listened to lots of looks narrated by her, and she is really good at the different characters voices. She also puts a lot of enthusiasm into the books which make you enjoy listening to the story.

Simply wonderful gem of a lesbian romance

Lovely, funny, moving, well written - Robin Alexander is one of my favourite writers and she's written another gem here.

Lori Prince is a great narrator and does an really good job but it is a shame that she did not adopt a New Orleans accent for Shannon's character, who had lived in the area her whole life. The audiobook is from Tantor Audio and other than this it has good production values.

I am saving Pitifully Ugly to my favourite Audible audiobooks and will enjoy listening to it again the next time I need cheering up.

A fine enough story

I do not think that this is Robin Alexander's best work. It felt a bit more formulaic than others I have read, and I didn't find myself as drawn to the characters as I needed to in order to be invested in the story.

That said, it was perfectly fine - the narrator is quite well suited - and I don't begrudge the time I spent listening at all. It just didn't sparkle the way I hoped it would, going from the high star rating and reviews.
