    About this audiobook

    Micky Ferro has lived her entire life according to other people's expectations. She married a man, had two children, and became a dutiful stay-at-home mom in suburban Sydney. Until she realized, with a little help from her best friend, that her picture-perfect life wasn't making her happy.

    On the first anniversary of her divorce, Micky decides it's time for the next step in her journey and gets a job at her neighborhood coffee shop, The Pink Bean. Becoming a barista sparks a big change in Micky's daily routine, but could loud-spoken American customer Robin do the same for her love life?

    Contains mature themes.

      Great book about how it is never to late to find love No matter what age you are.
    • 5/5
      Miss Dawe’s narration does bring the “live” into each character. I can feel the roller-coaster emotion in Mickey’s inner thought and voice, and the confidence yet tense in Robin’s decision. After all, I feel like I will come back to listen and read this book again when I reach my mid-life crisis like Mickey’s or when I’m over 40 years old. Just to enjoy the joy of being a lesbian that loves to read a happy-ending story.

      I tried.I really tried. It started interesting, but immediately the best friend became the annoying overbearing I-know-what's-best-for-you friend trope. And then the protagonist falls for a person who had been an absolute dick to them when they first met.Then the love interest turns out to be pretty okay (first meeting was still a dick move though) and the protagonist turns into a clingy, whiney, we-slept-together-once-and-now-I-want-a-committed-relationship trope.I tired to hate-listen, but every one of the characters just got on my nerves and I just couldn't even.I hated that the best friend got to decide when it was time for the protagonist to come out as bi or a lesbian and to immediately get out there and start dating. I always thought every person needed to do things at their own pace.I hated that the protagonist let her best friend push her into something she wasn't necessarily ready for. And then she fell in love with the first woman she slept with, even after the woman made it VERY CLEAR that she was not looking for anything more than a friends-with-benefits relationship for various reasons, one of which was that she was always travelling for work and wasn't around long enough to commit. I hated that her new boss's wife decided to set her up with one of their friends without even clearing it with her first. She shows up for dinner and chats with the boss while they wait for her wife to arrive. Low and behold the wife arrives with a "friend" they've been thinking about setting her up with. After that I was just out. This was not enjoyable for me.

      I like the themes address for the character of Michy in this story, and I become attached to her. But in an other hand I didn't understand really the love story of the book, how they got in love is style a mystery for me.

      They are some hot scene in the book, if this is something you are looking for. However, the characters have so many thoughts during them, it seems not real for me, I have difficulties to immerse myself in the scenes.
    • 3/5
      I liked but I honestly couldn't finish it. It was well written, with good character development and plot set up. From what I could tell there was nothing in the least bit wrong with the story. I just couldn't relate to a single character enough to care. Rich white women wants to experiment, gentrification, working a job out of boredom, spoiled kids...I just didn't personally like anyone in the book. But I don't necessarily think that fact reflects badly in any way on the story. If I'd kept going maybe I would feel differently, but I want to be hooked in the first chapters and as much as I wanted to be...I just wasn't.

      I really liked this audiobook. Angela Dawe is my favorite narrator. I was surprised there weren't any accents for the Australian characters but it was still really good. I liked the characters and circumstances. The main characters had excellent physical chemistry, and their emotional chemistry was good but I didn't feel like we had enough time to really see that part of it. It's a light book with some more serious parts. Everything just felt a bit superficial to me, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars.

      This was an okay romance story. Nothing too angst or emotional. All the characters were likeable. I would have liked to learn more about Robin's character. The author included a little info about the other characters of The Pink Bean, and I'm curious about their stories. So I've committed myself to reading the other books in the series.
