My Review for The Start of Something by Miranda Dickinson, Read by Claire Morgan and Simon Pothecary

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do people ever really get together by writing notes to each other in windows? I’m not sure they do, but I wish they would. The Start of Something is just a lovely, happy story for those incurable romantics out there. There are lots of times when I wanted to slap the two main characters, Lachlan and Bethan, just for being so pig-headed and not talking to each other! Come on, you’re adults, stop behaving like kids!

Bethan doesn’t want Lachie to know she is a single mum and Lachie doesn’t want Bethan to know he’s suffering from a severe leg injury, each have their own reasons for keeping things to themselves - for now.  

Lachie is currently on leave from the army, recovering from a car accident. He has a dog and a cat called Bert and Ernie. The names made me smile and the antics of the two were entertaining throughout the story. Bethan has a three-year-old son called Noah, works in a garden centre and is trying to rebuild her life following a difficult break-up. 

I enjoyed The Start of Something as an Audiobook, read by Claire Morgan and Simon Pothecary. They were brilliant and made each character seem real and believable. Particularly Claire, with her Welsh accent was fantastic, bringing the character of Bethan to life. 

I would recommend The Start of Something for anyone who loves a cheesy romance. It’s an easy read or listen, and ideal for whiling away a few hours on the beach. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins Audio for the opportunity to listen to and review an ARC of The Start of Something by Miranda Dickinson.
