Good, but be aware of some topics

Once you get used to the narration this is an enjoyable listen. Allow yourself a few chapters before you check out. The topics incorporate the abuse of women, I wouldn't recommend it if that will be triggering for you.

A sweet simple story

I wanted a simple listen and something to do with country music. The beginning was rough due to the fact that the narrator indeed sounds like a computer generated voice. However, about an hour in and I'd gotten used to it already so it didn't really bother me for the rest of the listen. But this is something to keep on mind. The story really came to life with all the different voices and I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the audiobook. Lots of twists and turns, but nothing too unexpected. I would recommend for a simple summer listen!

middle of the road easy listening

i was very curious to listen to a dolly novel and this didn't disappoint. Very much middle of the road easy listening, with simple and uncomplicated plot with great narration.
made my daily commute whistle by as it was something different.

Country music story

If you love country music, this is a must. Dolly Parton narrating and compiling the novel, what more could you ask for?

A slow burner but enjoyable

Nice novel but I reckon it should last at least another 1 hour as seemed to all come together in a very short time.

I love reading this book it’s taken me ages to listen to it but it feels like Dolly Parton is with you. It makes the book feel alive when she’s talking.
