First Thought when Finished: The narrators were awesome but I don’t think that The Divorce Papers by Susan Rieger is best served in audio format. If I had to do it all over again I would read it!
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Shannon McManus / Length: 7 hrs and 15 mins
This is a quick and beautifully narrated piece by Shannon McManus. Her emotion, pacing, and styling was perfect for And Then I Found You. I really think the narration added an extra “oomph” to the story and made me connect even more with the characters. I highly recommend this on audio!
Final Thought: This was a deviation from the type of story I normally read but I really did enjoy it! I did cry so if you read it grab some hankies!
