What made the experience of listening to Paper Love the most enjoyable?

Ms. Shekells was very easy to listen to. She had a soothing quality that made it very easy to listen to the story. Listening to the book during a hectic time of year, it's a welcome distraction

Who was your favorite character and why?

I can't say that I have a favorite character. They're all needed for this story.

Which character – as performed by Sara K. Sheckells – was your favorite?

Ms. Shekells does a great job of changing her tone when doing a male character. But if you are going to have a favorite character that she performs it would probably have to be Joss. If you've lost a parent, she's one that you can relate to. Although, I did not grow up in another country she did have me wanting to add that trip to my bucket list.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It's not a particular moment but being able to relate to a character because I know the loss of not one but two parents. Joss is someone a lot of people would be able to relate to. It was also sweet to watch her come out of her shell and let someone in.

Any additional comments?

The author has written a story that's sweet from beginning to end. It could be considered a holiday read but it's one that you could listen to at any time of year. Ms. Shekells makes it very easy to sit back and relax as you listen to her tell this author's tale.

Ms. Wynne does a great job of creating a champion for Joss and she just so happens to be related to Ben. She also is the voice of reason to Ben. Ms. Wynne has also created a character that doesn't talk but seems to be there for Ben as well. Her story will have you thinking about interactions you had with your siblings as you grew up. Plus how those interactions have changed as you get older.

What makes Ms. Shekells perfect for this story is that she is so easy to listen to. She doesn't have a harsh tone to her voice that could make it hard to concentrate. But I do have to apologize to both ladies. I tried to listen to this book while fighting a migraine. Do not attempt. It makes it hard to concentrate and sounds become amplified which do not make for an enjoyable experience. But what was nice that it didn't last forever and I got to enjoy the story in the end. This story lets you know that we still need to live life even when there are bumps in the road. It will be nice to listen to the book again - free of a nasty migraine headache.

I voluntarily reviewed an Audiobook copy of this book.
