This was a fun and funny read. Nina is my kinda gal and Francis, while not the character everyone loves to hate, is at least the character everyone can collectively groan at. The first episode didn't do much for me, but I'm sure glad I kept listening because it got soooo much better. Terrific story; highly recommend.By: Kimberly
I liked it. Almost felt like she left room for a 2nd one...By: jelwing
Absolutely fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good story with interesting characters, humour and very well done narration. I also really enjoyed the author connecting to her audience at the end of every episode. It not only provided a way to get to know her but also gave non-diagetic life to the characters. Podcasting at its finest.
