About this listen

Simply the Worst.... Alice Cabot's only great love is science, but a lapse in judgment has exiled the New York journalist to the glitzy Gallerias and vapid bubble-babble of Beverly Hills. The assignment to do a flattering feature series on Simply the Best and the superficial nonsense it sells threatens to crush what little is left of her spirit.

Simply the Best.... Pepper Addington can't believe she's moved up from grunt intern to personal assistant for Helene Jolie, the celebrity socialite founder of SimplytheBest.com. Succeeding at the job she worked so hard to get is her only priority. Keep a cynical know-it-all reporter in check? She promises Helene that she can.

Simply Irresistible.... Expecting nothing but games from the beach-blond surfer girl that Helene Jolie has assigned to keep an eye on her, Alice is fully prepared to resist any and all of California's charms. Or so she thinks.

 Really wanted this to have a happy ending. Strange thing is I was even rooting for the “bad guy” to get better. Listen on folks. Not to shabby.

Rooting for these two.

I so enjoyed the clever and snarky dialogue throughout this book. All the characters were great. I am a huge Karin Kallmaker but I think this novel is my new favourite, perhaps because I too have deep seated issues with patriarchal values being quietly utilised by people who are,or should be, publicly promoting something better.

Snark heaven

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is not very romantic but nevertheless it is an especially good romance because it is based in the real world, addresses real world issues and reaches a satisfying conclusion. I will definitely be listening to more novels be Karin Kallmaker.

Abby Craden's narration is not perfect, as she stumbles over passages of the text and sounds like she doesn't get what she's reading, but on the whole she does a decent job.

Intelligent and well written lesfic

This is the first book I have listened to with some mention of the pandemic and awful science deniers and such. It is really well done and adds to the authenticity of Alice's frustration and anger and sort-of-meltdown - I mean we've all felt that in recent times! The story is so interesting with the added subject of women exploiting women and the various injustices in the workplace. But the overarching romance is perfect with all the right feels in the right places. I very much enjoyed this book.

Great as always from KK and AC
