Awful narration
I really didn't like how Imogen Church narrated this book especially when it came to the male characters and Adrian in particular. In fact it spoilt the book at times for me

Brilliant twist at the end
Unless I missed a clue at the beginning, the twist was totally unexpected. I thought I wouldn't enjoy the book given its set in the TV /entertainment sector but it was great story line

The Temp - well worth listening to .
I really enjoyed this book, a good storyline with a twist at the end. This is the second time I’ve listened to it over the past 18 months . The narrator was brilliant and I could put faces to the people she was portraying. Just as good as the Girlfriend but entirely different.

Enjoyable!
This is an enjoyable read/listen. The characters are well drawn, the story original and pacey. Imogen Church’s narration is excellent as always.

Easy listening for driving to and from work. Narrator was ok and not too irritating like some can be that that is always a bonus!!!

Not a patch on ‘The Girlfriend’
The Girlfriend was an excellent read and I waited with anticipation for Michelle Frances’ next offering. I did enjoy aspects of the book, but for me the storyline descended into the farcical. I usually like this narrator very much, but her interpretation of some characters (Elaine and Adrian in particular) brought to mind fingernails across a blackboard.

Definitely worth a listen!
Some might say it’s predictable, however as a lover of this genre I must say that it threw me quite a bit and was not expecting the twist! Although this did come along about 3/4 of the way into the book, things just got better and more thrilling. So I wouldn’t say it spoiled the story at all. I normally have about 3 books on the go at the same time- this one I became enthralled in and raced ahead to the finish so definitely worth listening to!

Not as good as her others.
I didn’t enjoy this book as much as The Girlfriend. I particularly didn’t like the end because I didn’t like Emma much, she was okay but I wasn’t routing for everything to work out for her. Cheesy. and frustrating. Narration good.
