Let Life Happen

Written by Jaqueline Snowe

Narrated by Macy Moore and Matthew Holland

NEW ADULT, ENEMIES TO LOVERS ROMANCE

The campus flirt and the bartender with a chip on her shoulder should result in disaster…right?

Jenna Smithson and Aiden Chad agree to disagree on just about everything—except for their mutual annoyance of each other. They both agree on that. A whole lot. Jenna works at a campus bar and knows exactly the kind of guy Aiden is, and Aiden… well he can charm just about anyone. Except her.

So when they get paired up for a project, it’s a forced truce. They both have too much to lose and getting the grade is more important than their dislike for each other. Her sassy attitude is the perfect match for his confidence and humor and both like having the last word. No matter what.

But long nights, a friendship they neither expected, and a slow transition from enemies to something more has two people question everything.

The relationship between Jena and her family. Would enjoy knowing more

Love the characters and their development. We all want an Aiden

[tara · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

ok so here goes, I liked the story but it dragged like hell. Still, I enjoyed the comfort of Jenna and Aiden's relationship as it grew. That being said, as they got closer "physically", I was weirded out by Aiden's macho and man-whore undertones with Jenna, who came across as a bit of a slut in their "love scenes." She is not that kinda girl as its stated yet she comes across like it at times later. On a separate note, wtf was with Aiden and Cam? Jealous as hell one minute and then back to best buds minutes later?
As for the narrators, I preferred the guy. Whoever the female is, she can't change her voice with characters, she sounds not at all like what I'd picture Jenna sounding like and omg did she suck helium? She makes the character's sound like little kids in a cartoon series.
All in all, I didn't mind the book, but plot wise it needed just...more. It couldve taken half the chapters it did to tell the story and the climactic parts seemed to resolve WAY too fast and easily. No wonder I've never heard if this author before.

A cute collage love story. If you're like me who likes spice it's not what you're looking for but if you like cute romance with decent character building you might like this. The dialog defiantly reads like collage kids so be prepared to for second hand embarrassment.

Brilliant storyline and characters. The relationship between Jen/Aidan was so good/funny/emotional and their friends. Highly recommend

[Kimi · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I did not make it past chapter 4. The storyline drags so badly it's irritating.

[vincent fleming · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It's a book of college like life. I have to say, its probably best projectory is y.a. A frat boy lover turning his life into something meaningful when he met the right person. In every way in his life, did this one person make his life worth everything. Every person fit together, and every situation fit as a whole. The author did well with a characters personal point of view that some people don't understand exists. Especially when they mingle well with someone who rolls with each roll provided any given moment. When a person gets you, they get you.

I’m sure frat house language is full of f-bombs but this was too much.

[Caroline Kerbidi · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I swear, I have never stopped a book in the middle, but this one, I just couldn’t go on. I skipped about 10 chapters in the middle, trying to push trough the rambling, but it didn’t help. I guess I must congratulate myself for reaching chapter 35, at least. This one definitely goes in my top 5 of worst books I have ever listened to.

[Sandra England Hyden · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Loved everything about it. Can't wait for more audiobook about their friends.

[andy manning · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great author! Loved it its a must read .. took me one day..

[Anthony Rushby · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Let life Happen was a great book. I have absolutely enjoyed it. I have read a few of your books or in this case listened. The book was amazing and I loved the acknowledgements.

[Yolandi Kruger · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This was ok. Young (very young) adults. Immature. I might not be the target audience for this one. Narration not great. Storyline not great. The girl best friends are extremely annoying.

[Wanda Hibbetts · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I loved the story but over use of F wasn’t necessary!

[Meghan Fines · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Too long and no real plot. Minimal drama to keep readers invested. Nice character build, but I really had to power through to get to the end

[Tayna · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was a good story. I liked both MCs, felt they showed good growth throughout. The friendship that grew with all of the friends was one of my favorite parts. I took off one star because it was just, So. Very. Long. Too much blah blah blah in the middle, but still a great listen overall.

[Bethany Spell · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

One of the best books I’ve listened to in a long time.

[Karen Blatchford · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Reeeaaallly LONG. Good book but it seemed to go on forever and I felt like it could have been 2 different books.

[Claudette Martinee · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Easy to listen, interesting start. everything between the two seems to run so “perfect”, I lost track a couple of times, it felt it takes long breaths to keep up

[Julie Stancil · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was great up until the second half. It’s a great story, but loses steam the last 1/3 of the book.

[Branislav Sopko · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I’m not a big fan of this author, however I really liked this book. Jenna is great character everything i would put in my main character if I could write. ?

[Jenny Stevens · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The characters are like your friends and you can relate and visualize the story so well.

[Donna Carr · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

One of the best I have read in awhile.
Looking forward to more my this author

[sandra shugars · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great development of characters and story. I loved this story and the narrators.

[clairethallon · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

The main character was described as being “not like other girls” more times than I can count. The book overall had misogynistic overtones and the dialogue was terrible.

.5/5 stars

[Sarah Parker · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The lingo in a lot of the dialogue was cringe, but it was a cute story

[Diana · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Im going to finish it because its alright, but the narrators are a little cringey.

[Yana · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved this book a lot! Thank you author !

[Danielle Jones · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to reading, or listening, to more from this author. It brought me back to college. There were a few words that were used “hells t!tt!es” that I could’ve gone without hearing because it was just a little weird and unnecessary. Overall I enjoyed the build up between Jenna and Aiden and could not stop listening!

[Angela Pfaltzgraff · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I think it had potential! But the characters are quite immature…language used especially.
