Not my favorite Louise Bay. The characters were difficult to like, and the story was just ok.
I like her books though, so of course this one one sway me from reading more!

Borrowed via Audible Escape. I’ve always enjoyed both of these narrators so I thought I’d give this a try. Basically, it was predictable and felt formulaic, like so many other books I’ve read before in the friends-to-lovers trope.
If it weren’t for the fantastic narrators I’m not sure I would have finished. It’s not like it was awful, just nothing amazing and certainly nothing I’d listen to again. Glad I borrowed via AE.
3 stars for banal story, 5 star narrators.

Have a crush on a former friend?
Is it awkward knowing you'll never been seen the way you see them?
Do you try to avoid them in hopes you will get over the unrequited...?
If you said yes to any of the above, International Player is you're dream come true.
If you said no, why are we friends!? Just kidding, even if you personally haven't had the above issues, the hopeless romantic in you will be clawing for answers. So do yourself a favor, one-click your next HEA!

I love the dual POV. Part of the Audible Escape catalogue.

It was mostly about the narration for me. I really enjoy listening to both of these narrators. The actual story left a lot to be desired.
I am so TIRED of characters, ADULTS, being incapable of communicating with one another. I am tired of characters making assumptions, like Truly did, without having a conversation. She could have easily had a conversation about Noah and his behavior. I am tired of women feeling they are not "enough" for the gorgeous man. Don't get me wrong, I'm just as tired of men feeling like they aren't good enough for these gorgeous wonderful women.
I did think it was great that Noah could see the awesome person Truly happened to be. I hated that Truly constantly compared herself to her sister. It irritated me through almost the entire book. I didn't like Truly's sister at all. I thought she treated her husband like garbage, and treated Truly like she really didn't have any most parts of her life together. I don't know if Rob and Truly's sister have a boom, but she was so obnoxious, I don't think I want to read it.
I liked Truly and Noah when they were together. I kept wishing they would get out of their heads and talk to each other. I couldn't wait for this book to end. It was almost a DNF for me.

Meh.
International Player was one of those random audiobooks that I got from my audible account. It was like that blind date with a book and it would suggest you one to read. So I got this one and decided to take a chance on it. However, it was a bit boring and predictable.
This book definitely had it's pro's and con's. The characters were just meh. I hated how someone was forgotten because they went somewhere else? That doesn't really make sense to me but I guess that happens to some weird ass relationships or friendships. Then they kind of annoyed me, like a lot. I hated the comparison of the girl and her twin. She never felt like she was good enough and that her sister was like a present from the gods. It was annoying as crap to listen to and it made me want to stick stuff into my ears.
Overall, it was eh. I'm glad it's over and I can move on with my life.

Loved this book, the story and the wonderful Shane East did a fantastic job at narrating this book.
Noah was great, his history and everything about him was written perfectly!! Truly on the other hand was slightly irritating and over dramatic in some parts which made me roll my eyes and even cringe BUT overall it was a good read :)
