The Magnolia Chronicles: Adventures in Modern Dating

By: Kate Canterbary

Narrated by: Amy McFadden, Tim Paige

Length: 9 hrs

Publisher's summary

My mother's New Year's resolution for me was simple: make a serious effort at putting myself out there and dating again and do it for one full year.

Or, until I fell in love. Whichever came first.

How hard could one year of swipes and matches and awkward first dates be?

In a word: bad.

In nine words: bad and also hilarious, demoralizing, exhausting, and ridiculously amusing.

But the only thing worse than dating in the era of hookup apps and unsolicited dick pics is the absolute whole-life flail of falling in love.

My newest pet peeve is…

Audio version of texting. So freaking repetitive. Story needs to be edited for audio so we’re not forced to listen to stuff like, Dating ap #1, yada, yada, yada. Maggie, yada, Dating ap #1, yada. Maggie, yada, yada. Monotonous. And the story is really slow, considering she’s dating 2 guys. I really enjoyed the Walsh series but this one? Not so much.

wow just wow!!!!

i read these series a bit backwards but I have found a new favorite author! These books made me laugh & cry. it made me feel everything offered. Kate you make your stories real make us dig deep inside ourselves for all our fears, joys & hopes. if this is your 1st you must read all of these triplets saga!

Sensational

A great story about a woman who empowers herself to take charge of her relationships. A lot of really good internal conversations from Magnolia. She definitely has that “every woman” vibe.

Great job by Amy McFadden and Tor Thom.

Great!

I've just finished the last book in this series. all 3 are great! fun,sexy,sassy. please start with this one,read in order and then petition Kate to write a follow-up!

Outstanding in every way!!!

The premise of this story is so simple and it could have become just another RomCom, but let me tell you, this is way beyond that. The characters are so well written!! Kate Canterbary is such a genius at bringing to life characters with so much depth, personality and realism. The journey Magnolia goes through is so relatable but the pace and the writing make this story feel very special. You are going through this journey with her, instead of just being an observer. The banter is classic Kate!! I couldn't get enough of the smart & sassy snark. Also including the beloved characters of the Walsh Series was such a bonus. The narration was the cherry on top of this outstanding story. Amy McFadden is perfection! She has the best pace, tone and brings to life a character that is going through so much and you just want to keep listening. This casting choice was right on the money. I want more stories like these in my life. Well worth the credit and the ride.

struggling to finish

great narration, but i really hate the love triangle, her brothers have much better stories

overall pretty good

overall the story wasn't bad, I really enjoyed the banter between Rob and Maggie. But I really did not like Ben, his whole demeanor was awful. He struck me as the same kind of guy Maggie was trying to get away from.

Great series!

For some reason I did not listen to this first book of this series. But I have to say the next two are the best. This one was funny, but the heroine’s self doubt did get a little old. And a bit hard to believe she had two guys who wanted her. But it’s romance fiction, if you remember this you will love this book.

It was good

This is my 2nd book by Kate Canterbary, and I liked it. It was ok, but honestly after “In a Jam” the bar was a little high. As a person who loves a good Boston accent, I understand why it wasn’t used, but also think it took something away from the story. All in all, it was pretty good, and worth a credit.

A different love story.

Reading/ listening to this book makes me happy. This is a fun book, the characters, the banters all are amazing. I love how Magnolia worked on discovering who she is and what she wants. She wants a man to love her and accept her for her. Completely agree with Magnolia. This is a different love story and so beautiful.
