Not You It's Me

By: Julie Johnson

Length: 12 hrs and 23 mins

Publisher's summary

Gemma Summers is unlucky in love. She's known it since third grade, when her first crush blew a spitball into her hair, and a decade-long string of bad dates, boring sex, and abysmal morning afters has done nothing to improve her prospects. But when a random radio call-in contest lands her courtside tickets to the hottest playoff game of the season, Gemma's luck may finally be on the upswing, even if it doesn't exactly seem like it when the dreaded Jumbotron kiss cam lands on her and her date, who's too busy ignoring her to notice.

Chase Croft doesn't date. Despite ample opportunity as Boston's most eligible bachelor, the reformed bad boy would rather put his energy into taking over the family business than weed through a world of gold diggers to find an honest woman. But when the beautiful girl in the seat next to him becomes a courtside spectacle at the hands of her loser boyfriend, he can't help but step in and save the day.

Loved the start of this book

After basketball game I thought oh no this is going to be a 50 shades of gray. I was wrong..thank goodness. I gave this 3 stars because the book was okay. Never really laughed out loud, nor swooned with OMG sweetness, I did make it through the book without wanting to quit. She's quirky, he is stoic, and there's a villain. Maybe a a little to flighty for me. Love that this book isn't overly graphic with the sex. I would look at buying another of this authors books.

Very YA

Cute story. Very YA. No naughty scenes or violence. Only suggested. Loved the narrator. Carly always does a good job.

Narrator needs to go! She yells too much.

This is the 2nd book on here that I really wanted to enjoy but couldn't because the narrator was so bad. I listen to the books thru ear buds and kept having to pull them out of my ears to keep from having my ear drums damaged. One minute (especially when she's doing the male character voice) she's almost whispering. The next minute she switches to the female character's voice and she's yelling. I liked the premise of the story so I'm going to move over to the kindle version to check it out to avoid permanent hearing loss from burst eardrums. Incidentally, I'm doing the same for the other book I accessed on here too.

Doesn't anyone LISTEN to these narrators before posting the books on here? With all the sucky one's I've come across lately, I'd have to say they don't.

Emotion!

Happy i found this book! So many emotions and well very lovely read. Enjoy! I loved it!

Loved

I loved this story from its beginning when Gemma is rescued from a horrible date and kiss cam embarrassment, by the hot guy in the seat next to her. Turns out he’s also a millionaire. If you want a well acted, romance with a little mystery and seriously hot boyfriend, take a listen.

no bloody violence and strong sex words

Overall, the book's ability to balance simplicity with depth, its engaging plot, relatable characters, and the way it imparts important life lessons all contribute to its high level of satisfaction and interest. It's no wonder that you enjoy the book so much!.

No, it's you.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Seriously, this was a credit wasted. First of all, very immaturely written. Chase needs to stop saying Gemma all the time. In fact, everyone needs to stop saying Gemma so much. It makes me wonder if the hardcover book has Gemma written a minimum of 7 times on each page. Also, Chase's character is written terribly. At first he can't love and has never been in a relationship and will never be one. And literally almost the next page he's in love and can't live without her. All of this, is besides the fact that each step is terribly predictable. The narrator? Okay well, she should tween's characters. Her voice for the males is incredibly immature, and makes the man sound like he's hidden in a dark dungeon, with his eyes hidden, while speaking.

Great Story- Narrator Nailed It

In a genre where the same plot is frequently repeated, this book stands apart with a very unique take on “relationship adverse” characters. There is both humor and tenderness here, plus it’s crazy enough to believe something like this could actually happen. I loved it!

to much talking and head thinking for me

good narration. the story was about the estranged nephew who ends up taken over the family business and has a mean ex and a cousin out to make his life hell. He falls for Gemma a artist who talks to much in her head and out loud I wished a couple of times I could of told Gemma to her face to shut it and stop thinking so much. it annoyed me and it took me a long time to get through the book I don't remember a epilogue I couldn't wait to get this book over with
